If he's that keen/desperate to get out and he and those around him like the sun/beach lifestyle...?

No Harry McKay, but they do have 6 + 13.

Hard to see any other realistic possibility, if he wants to go he's going to have to give up on something.

But they have ...

In lighter news I just made one of Trac's meals for dinner 10/10

Why would you do that? I hope you get the runs.

John from Diamond Creek I think was his name, claimed to be very close to Trac

Sounds like a character from the 12th man

Hahahaha he’s going to go play in front of negative 5 fans on the Gold Coast? 😂

Brisbane wouldn’t have space in the cap for him, he’s on over a million a year. That’s not pocket change.

Please stop the McKay talk. It belittles our intelligence to drink the McClure Koolaid on a trade that makes no sense for either club

This guy has no idea. trac5 has almost 500k followers. You reckon they are all going to leave?  Ok, boomer.  He can make $10,000 a post. He can post something once every 2 days and he'll be making more money than he does playing football.  Wouldn't be surprised if the goal is 1 mln followers, as much as it 300 games.

Completely agree. Worth 2 top 10 picks at his best but there is no guarantee he gets anywhere near that again. If there's a single top 10 pick on any table I think the club will seriously consider it. After his ordeal, any club would be taking a huge risk with his contract. 

I can see a reality where we end up paying a significant portion of his contract if he does move... 

Just to rub salt into our wounds. No way, we come across as weak

It's not that serious, I was hungry and needed something to eat.

This is what doesn't compute. You can't throw Brisbane in there as a destination and talk about your brand.

They have significantly less fans than us.

Id rather keep him, but if he must go, then he must go to Essendon. That'll teach him.

"And as for Brand Petracca's ideal-world hopes of landing at Collingwood, the Magpies have zero trade currency.

Besides, they already have on their books a footballer with a far bigger brand. It's called Brand Daicos, although that brand has come to Nick Daicos mainly through football, not a need to tell people about it."

Ouch.

He is ruining the likelihood of other clubs wanting him

Not sure where the Brisbane thing came from. I reckon some journalist was like Noosa? Noosa is in QLD. Brisbane are in QLD. I do math good.

@Demonland 7 players gone from this team, with Petracca *potentially* gone in the coming months and McDonald (& Melksham) gone at the end of 2025. 3 retirees (Brown, Hibberd, Brayshaw), 4 trades (Harmes, Jordan, ANB, Jackson). Question marks for me remain over Sparrow & Petty (potential trades back to S.A. in the coming years?). May & Gawn to retire in the next few years.. So much for a productive window. With not much left at Casey, I reckon we go to the Draft and try to get as many high picks as possible!

Only 7 years until the 10 year reunion.

I think the idea that from Trac's end this has been worked through logically and methodically went out the window some time ago.

Ouch.

He’s not wrong. Nick Daicos having done 0 social media work has a quarter of a million followers. 
Trac has just shy of half a million across two platforms that he’s got someone else managing for him full time. 
 

The reality is that if he went to a club like the Pies, he would get to that magic 1,000,000 mark and will be making as much from his socials and sponsorships as he would from football. This is end game. 
 

However this is not the NBA. You don’t get to walk out on a 5 year contract just because you want to.

Tigers asking for pick 6 for Rioli from the Suns. Suns don’t need to play that hard due to academy players coming through that they can get for combined picks.

Tigers then offer us Pick 1 and 6 for Tracc. We then take 1,5 and 6 at the draft. Tracc goes to a bigger Vic club, and sees he’s old mate Yze.

If Rioli is worth pick 6 then ANB is worth pick 1

I'd almost have more respect if he was wanting to go somewhere like there for a new challenge and to help them play finals and eventually win a flag ala Ablett.

I've got a watch on Essendon. They've allegedly got salary cap space and have both their first round picks, their first being pick 8 this year.

Would anyone consider pick 8, future 1st and Caddy?

The guy has 3-4 more years of good football then his brand is gone. No brand other than Jordan continues past a players retirement.
