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.

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.

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

 

Fox Sports jumped the shark a long time ago.  Their rising star has become a McLovin lookalike who makes Schnitz jokes whilst reporting on the tribunal

Whatever the result, the whole clusterfudge has given rise to:

”Brand Petracca”

A new nickname that he will wear like a heavy velvet cape (that he got at Cash Converters).

More likely that the membership drops off a cliff I'm afraid.

I seriously think Trac camp is somehow working with the media outlets to bankroll some of this trash. i mean why else would they put this stuff to paper. Even the Kozzy stuff has gone quiet after people realized it was horse****.

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.  

No hyperbole in saying Trac almost lost his life. One solid tackle after he went back on could have been fatal.

No hyperbole in saying he and his family experienced severe trauma. Anyone who has experience of extreme trauma would know that to say they have "recovered quickly" is nonsense.

Note that I have not made any comment in support of Petracca's current position. Despite a multitude of rumours and innuendos, he has said nothing in public, so apart from journalistic speculation we don't know precisely what issues he has raised.

We do know that Roffey has admitted he made some "good points", whatever they may be.

In my view, both Petracca and the club will sustain serious ongoing damage unless this mess is sorted out soon.

If Roffey can't handle a crisis decisively, she is the wrong person to be leading the board.

Was the thinking about this the other day. If I were an oppo player, prob even a teammate, I would start with Marlon, then move to Home, Offy, Apple, Biggy and probably land on Russell.

You are neither his treating doctor nor a member of his family, therefore your comments are emotional hyperbole

he was traumatised so much by it that he wants to join the side that did it to him. I am not sure i buy that excuse. He may see our finals window closing down and wants to jump ship. to make sure he is essentially sinking the ship to make sure he gets off. as for CEO, i really dont know what everyone expects her to do. every person is different in the way they work and react. there is nothing to say she was not being constantly updated on Petracca and telling everyone to do everything they can. the fact she was not as social as Petracca and others think she should be does not mean she did anything wrong. in fact i am not sure other than letting him go back on that i have heard anything that anyone beside petracca has done anything wrong.

If it's Trac's secret mission to destroy the club and everything we've done over the past 10 years, he is doing an excellent job

There is zero chance anyone will want to be traded to us this off-season. So good luck to the club improving our list.

Either stay or [censored] off

I agree brother, he has already cost us Houston from all reports and will he ever be the same player,  where would.d we be if Moore hadn't taken out. Get the picks and move on I say.

No hyperbole you reckon. How the frickin hell do you know whether he could have died on the field? Do you have medical knowledge? Of course not.

Here are some facts.

Spleen trauma is graded from 1 to 5 in increasing order of severity.

Petracca had a grade 5 spleen injury.

Grade 1 is less than 10% of surface area involved in hematoma or capsule laceration less than 1 cm.

Grade 2 is hematoma 10 to 50% of surface or capsule laceration 1 to 3 cm in depth.

Grade 3 is hematoma of more than 50% of the subcapsular surface area or if the hematoma is known to be expanding over time, if the hematoma has ruptured, intraparenchymal hematoma either more than 5 cm or known to be expanding, or capsule laceration more than 3 cm in depth and/or involving a trabecular blood vessel.

Grade 4 is a laceration involving a hilar or segmental blood vessel if there is partial devascularization or if it is more than 25% of the spleen.

Grade 5 is either a shattered spleen or complete devascularization of the entire spleen.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
