Christian Petracca

[Ethan Tremblay 30,861]

He’d be the perfect fit for Hawthorn. Not sure if going there would help his personal brand and instagram exposure as much as Carlton or Collingwood though.

Why not have some fun and nominate who we would like to get into the club?

I will nominate St Kilda and we get King, Steele and their first rounder maybe send what we get for ANB back. Maybe they have forgotten about their psyche profile. By the way has anybody got access to the paywall so we can see why they didn't pick him?

[JJJ 1,286]

Without knowing the list intimately, any young up and coming Carlton player would be getting nervous. If they want Trac, they’ll have to package a good player to either move up the draft or gain another 1st.

What a mess…….

Time for another 🍷

May as well do a reality TV show, and let the other clubs via for him with a rose! :P

Alternatively it could be that the injury/trauma made him reassess his life/career and a desire to move on from a place he can see hasn't addressed the concerns he's raised previously or from a place that will never be the big club he wants to be part of etc.

Sure. But you make those kinds of decisions with a clear head and some open water between you and injury/trauma, not while you're still in the throes of it.

Tracca has a clear enough head to consider his 'brand' and bigger crowds!

[DeeMee 873]

Not sure clubs will be bashing down the door with offers given the information coming out if accurate.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,736]

I’ll tell you one thing, I will not be cooking anymore of his recipes if he leaves

Reckon we offer him up to Freo for Andrew Brayshaw and one of their first round draft picks. They are a big club who pull big crowds

If Petracca leaves, it would be great to see him line up against a renewed fit and firing Oliver and watch Clarrie work him over. 

I must admit, I reckon the way Trac has hung Clarry out to dry, it might just be enough to light a fire under Clarry’s [censored]!

Head to head in top form, it would be a ding dong battle.

Oh ffs. Record 39 disposals in a GF, Norm Smith medalist, helped us break a 57 year premiership drought, 4 time AA, played nearly 200 games for the Club, absolute champion footballer, etc. etc. Let's just all chill and remember the blood, sweat and tears he has shed for our enjoyment.

The St Kilda recruiters were the ones that needed to be "psych tested"!!!

[Nascent 9,215]

Richmond pick 1 plus another later first round pick.

Kangaroos pick 2 + Duursma

West Coast pick 3 + Future 1st

St kilda pick 4 + Max King

I don't know, just trying to make myself feel better. It's not working and I still don't like most of these deals.

People have already alluded to him planning a massive off season and potential overseas training camp

I don't see that any clubs, yet alone Melbourne-based clubs, have the trade capital, not to mention the A-grade player to throw in. Apparently Hawthorn interested (though who knows ...), but they only have Pick 12 and ???

Newcombe and Weddell in, Petracca out

makes us a better side.

Unfortunately I can’t see Hawthorn going for it.

Would Trac be irritated that (unprofessional) Clarry having 4 Bluey’s to Tracc’s  2

I was thinking the same thing. One of the reasons McClure gave was that he didn’t like how the Oliver situation was resolved..

Oliver was supposed to be one of his best mates.. so he wanted to just drop him despite all his challenges. Some mate..

[Dr. Gonzo 24,219]

From what I can gather the only other club to lose a Norm Smith medallist was WCE who lost Judd BUT he won it in a losing side.

It is unfathomable what has happened to this club since winning the flag, is it just that we can't have nice things?? Supporters will be absolutely furious if this trade eventuates and the club must front with answers. The typical corporate speak and fobbing us off will just lead to more disillusionment and disengagement. Petracca is huge with the young supporters who will drop off unless we can get back to winning and win another flag very soon.

I guess all they can do is say they want to keep him to keep is trade value up? its like with Oliver letting it leak he was having a personal crisis before then suggesting he might be traded was amateur.

Oliver never let that leak. It was leaked by the club to pull him into line.
