Not that it is happening but if it was a top 10 pick, Mitch Lewis and F1st, that could spark interest.

Bundle up the F1st with what you get for ANB and you could possibly get another top 10 from the Tigers, who would look to spread their multiple picks this year, into some next year.

That could mean we would get Mitch Lewis have 3 top 10 picks for this draft, with one of course being our existing pick 5.

That is a very strong influx of talent.

Just a reminder that a 'future first' can turn out to be a pick in the early 20s.

I will listen to it again…

I had to, was definitely different the 2nd time.

Phrases that I thought sounded sure of herself the first time sounded a lot more rhetoric and company speak. I did miss the part about not being in contact because he hadn't been to games the first time round, not the flashest thing to say.

I still don't think the interview needed to happen at all but I can see why people were annoyed. We can't get it right all the time though hey.

Never called anyone in the family up at 3am to say I nearly died on the table though.

Has been discussed here. The surgeon didn't call anyone to say he'd nearly died. Also, there was no surgery, it's a simpler procedure as Trac himself outlined.

Welcome to Demonland Jack Silvagni & Brodie Kemp and farewell Christian Petracca.

Impressively sustained energy here, folks: averaging a post every 5 minutes, for nearly 3 weeks.

A (cracked?...) record?

Side note 

wondering if this will unite us supporters and get us to fill the mcg more often 🤔

Jack Silvani? Brodie Kemp? haha they surely are taking the mickey here. Mitch Lewis off an ACL with a F1... 

This is why its extremely unlikely and why Trac is trying to create an untenable situation.

that does sound good

if we can turn Trac into a top 10 pick and another in the mid to late teens i reckon that's as good as we can realistically hope for. no idea how that happens or if even possible.

Could be one of the worst articles ever written and that is a massive call!  Just embarrassing.

Jeepers... some of these trades wouldn't even be enough for Petraccas left footy boot.

That is probably the most delusional football story I've ever read.

They should be embarrassed uploading it.

What  ? Are you not salivating at the prospect of obtaining one of Jack Silvagni, who when he returns to full fitness will reclaim his status as the slowest player in the AFL. Or a couple of blokes that even their own supporters have to look up in the footy record in Krueger and... I've forgotten him already. 

Or the jewel in this crown , a bloke from Hawthorn who's just done an ACL to top off an already storied injury career. 

 

I suspect the mail room boys at Fox decided do some pranking when the newsroom staff buggered off for Friday lunch. To quote Bobby Davis,  fair dinkum unbelievable 

[Deelectable 1,043]

After a couple of months of silence Houston commits and is a hero. Petracca been quiet for awhile and is a villain. I'll leave that there.

Because he nearly lost his life while giving his all for the Melbourne Football Club, and both he and his family have clearly been severely traumatized by the event.

And because she represents the top leadership of the club.

Petracca may be "just a player" but his contribution to our first premiership in nearly 60 years will be remembered long after Ms Roffey and her fellow board members have been forgotten.

Boy, you have painted the Melbourne Football Club as the devil with your ridiculous hyperbole. Undoubtedly, he and his family experienced trauma, but it seems they have recovered quite quickly and realised that there is a buck in it if they throw the club under the bus and put it out there that Trac wants to be traded to "a big club" to enhance his brand.  

And as for your last comment, the club owes Trac nothing. In actual fact, its the other way around. The club has created an environment for Trac to excel and developed him into the player he is. 

[Little Goffy 14,057]

To be fair, Brodie Kemp could legitimately develop into the new Michael Hibberd and... um...

Hmm...

To be fair, GAGF.

I’d take Brodie Kemp as the steak knives for any Team Petracca deal.

That’s where I’m at with it too. I think that’s fair market value. If nobody can come up with that he stays. I think it’s very possible too.

Calm before the storm? All is well?

This thread is now moving a little slower. Can actually take a breath!
