I don't think I am revealing too much by telling you it is significantly more than $900 per year.

Yep. Even I earn more than that.

    Hopefully Jacko and Kozzie get with the program and will commit long term at some stage

    I get the sentiment, but they are not at the stage in their career where they would sign a long term deal for the money we would want to commit. Petracca is a known commodity - the stuff flags are made of. Dogga and Kosi are babies that are showing an amazing amount but would not be offered near to what they would think is their value until they show it consistently with healthy bodies.

    7 news reporting a 7 year deal guesstimating at $900K per year is expected “imminently”

    Mind you, it is Tom Browne

    Figures are thrown around I assume hed have a pretty substantial chunk of the MFC ASA included in this deal, and he deserves it.

    Pies supporters have turned their attention to Weideman now.  At least they are being a bit more realistic this time around.

    We won't let Weid go, i'm sure he's frustrated, but i would be very shocked if he wasn't very firmly in our long term plans 

    also wtf would anyone want to go to Collingwood?

    He does have a solid family connection to Collingwood. Still tho, yuck!

    If he doesn't play, it won't be our choice.

    He will, it's all about building consistency, from what i've heard, he's very clear on that too, the club wants a block of consistent form of 4-5 weeks of him just dominating, 

    the form of Tom McDonald has been a bit of a curve ball but Weid is too good to stay out for long.

    What a difference a few wins makes, not only to resign, but for life and at slight unders, shows how much of a clubman he is.

    gotta love the way the club is rolling out one key contact announcement per week or two ... no coincidence in my view and should help get memberships ticking along nicely

    Tom Browne's report pretty much was based around other clubs saying they've asked about Petracca and his manager has said 'he's not interested'.

    Personally I reckon there's probably a lot more to do to complete a deal. Petracca will want to stay and the club will have a rough ball park of the money he's worth but after that there's so many factors on how to get the deal done.

    The Dogs right now are negotiating with Bont who is 1.0001 to stay and to get a huge deal, but they are working through all sorts of factors with the structure.

    There's a long way between Petracca indicating he's happy to stay and the club indicating a ball park figure and everything getting signed and sealed.

    Really DS 

    Your gut feelings are way off the mark and there was info last week that an offer was very close.

    Obviously it's not as complicated as you thought. 
     

    Trac is not a complicated person and knows now what he wants. 
     

    All power to him He deserves his contract snd the spoils. A boy has grown to a much more mature man in about 3 years.

    We are ready to embrace our new found attitudes and selflessness and ability.

    Results  on the field have never been more important now we have set strong standards and group ideals. 
     

    Maybe  all the stars are aligning in 2021 and a long wait For success could be nearing its end in the next season or two. 
     

    Go Dees

    Good.

    Are you posting the word “Good” for no apparent reason every 10 or so minutes, or am I just imagining it?

    Quite possibly I’m imagining it. Been up since 5:30am. That, coupled with the whole Fritta sitch, and the fact that I’m easily confused, makes a compelling argument for me to go to sleep.

    I don't understand your question.  To try and assist you, the figure of $900 k came from Ch7 report.

    I'm just telling you that it is significantly more than that.

    Adonski, you are one of about 5 other Posters that displayed some level of doubt about my original post along with HardTack, Rod Grinter Squad, CHF and Robbie57.

    I never quite understand why other Posters express that type of doubt/negativity.  Is it envy or a feeling of inadequacy that some posters just have NO level of inside contacts?

     

    I expressed frustration at the offer being leaked, bit different than questioning your integrity.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
