It's all Jesse Hogan's fault. Or maybe Jack Watts.

If they were still on the list, they'd continue to be the focus of this nonsense freeing us up to debate more important things like whether Petracca needs to lose weight.

Trac is still contracted until 2022. Even if he unexpectedly requests a trade next year i expect Josh Mahoney and co to take a leaf out of the Doggies book and hold him to his contract.

 

If he did request a trade and we reluctantly had to do a deal what would it take? De Goey plus a first rounder??? ?

If he improved even 1% on his 2020 output and was contracted for a further year we'd genuinely request 3x top ten picks. Might go close to getting it too.

Yes your  right there l was lead to believe at the time.  Someone very close to me introduced me to his brother Julian who manages a few players at different clubs and one of them is at Melbourne. at the time l just assumed the way he was talking that he managed him.  That is  all l can say now.

Yep l do worry if we are good enough to hold onto our best players. Can we afford to keep them ? Time will tell. 

 

His brother Julian petracca is Jake  lever’s manager and he also is Jayden shorts manager

My view is that the club will renew Christians'  contract mid season so the doubters will have another 4 years of agony wondering

if!

Did I say he had committed to the pies did I? Can you actually show this direct quote? You're the only [censored] that mentioned anything remotely of Petracca leaving. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

Go back and actually read what I was replying to. It actually had nothing to do with Petracca at all but more so that Collingwood will continue to bring in players regardless of what went on during the trade period.

You embarrassed yourself over the trade period when you threw several darts but didn't land any and now you're embarrassing yourself with this post.

Wtf are u smoking matey? I threw zero darts, merely mentioned small bits with a major caveat attached. Only thing I said was def was BBB and he was. Didn’t say CP was pies committed? Then WHY do the silly post at all u silly bugger. Don’t make me go back and quote you. The entire post was moronic so maybe move on haha

How could the Pies possibly afford him?

They just got rid of two very good players because of cap issues.

Petracca wouldn’t leave for less than 750k per year

You're weird unit Nudge. You quoted a post from 2 months ago that I actually forgot it existed..

The moment has gone.

IMO Pies just offloaded a whole heap of $. Not due to clearing space. Actually due to being well over the cap hence the bargain trade deals for Treloar Stephenson and Phillips. No doubt they’ll be into Petracca. I think Petracca is built for finals footy and if we don’t start making them then he’s a risk to leave. But are Collingwood in a better position? I don’t think so. Not unless they end up absolutely nailing the 2020 draft. 

Play finals at the very least otherwise we risk losing him. We can’t expect an A-grader like Trac to rang around waiting for us to get our act together when he would grace any team in the league.

Not much point worrying about it in pre-season though. Let’s see how the season pans out before fretting about his contract.

Personally think its more then that. I don't think making finals is an acceptable level. If we make it and bow out first week then the risk of losing players is still high.

We've got the list to be top 4. It's all up to players and coaching staff to make that happen.

Easy fix.  We target Maynard ?‍♂️

Don’t care if he’s friends with Kanye or Guy Sebastian.

I agree. Finals may not be enough. 

I guess we all have extra reason to hope that the pies flop this year.

   Yes l agree.  However IMO Petrac even Oliver would have to play in a consistently high level as expected for us to have a better       chance of playing finals and finishing at least top 4 . 

  They are the A graders and if we cannot make finals with both of them  sound then l would hate to think  Bda.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
