What annoys me most is that he's acting like he's tracc's manager. First, he was saying he would request a trade if he could, now he's speaking about possible trade arrangements. It's like he's negotiating a contract for Tracc. Surely this is unprecedented. And I hate how much clout Morris thinks it gives him.

He’s certainly not afraid to go out on a limb. Who knows, he might get fired again, only to pop up in six months time as 7’s new CEO. #averageblokesfailingupwards

Hi Foopy. It’s a bit delicate for me to say much about this one other than to say CP did ask Robbie the question about the possibility of him breaking his contract and being traded.  I repeat, it was just the possibility of it being able to happen. 
Robbie shut it down straight away!  I can assure you his Management are not promoting the concept of a trade. 
Not certain how Tom Morris became aware of it.  FYI, it isn’t uncommon for contacted players to ask their manager could they get them out of their contract.  

Who is Robbie?

He's negotiating a large coriander purchase. Relax, WCW is all over this. 

Apparently we are only offering him Cilantro.

Negotiations not going well

More (but not much) in this article now.

Petracca provided an update on his injuries which saw the Norm Smith Medallist and brilliant midfielder take an extended break in Noosa this month.

He returned to the club last week and has been engaged in talks with club officials about some of his frustrations, the club has confirmed.

Key sources are adamant he is interested in a trade, however any deal would be near impossible as Melbourne would demand at least two early-first-round draft picks in return.

In the unlikely event of a trade, Collingwood is seen as the frontrunner for Petracca.

But the Magpies do not have a pick in the first round of this year’s draft and could be handcuffed.

The only way Petracca would be able to explore a move out of Melbourne is if he forcibly demands a trade.

It would be the biggest blockbuster move since former West Coast superstar Chris Judd joined Carlton in 2007

Petracca, who met up with Brisbane’s Lachie Neale on Saturday morning for a conversation about mindfulness, was thrilled with Melbourne’s win on the Gold Coast.

“Loved watching the boys win and seeing my teammates playing the way they did yesterday!,” Petracca said via text.

Trac’s manager Robbie D’Orazio

 

 

Looks like he's buying into coriander whilst it's share price is low.

Now after the last 48 hours he is a judas who is rude to fans, hates the club, only thinks of himself and just wants to go to a big club so he can get more followers on his insta page.

Thanks mate, really appreciate this info! Really does put this into a little bit of perspective.

From the euphoria of finally winning a flag to where we are now, I feel like the wheels are falling off.

We lost four finals in a row....ok it happens.

We lost a genuinely liked and talented player in Gus.

One of our fwds is still locked up in a dispute.

Oliver has been struggling for almost two seasons.

Anb wants to leave.

Rumors are abound that JV does.

And now this.

It ain't good. Something is not right.

 

How can you conclude'something is not right' (presumably meaning club culture or whatever) when of your 7 points only a couple or maybe only one is meaningful:

4 finals losses (you concede it happens, and there were plenty of reasons beyond our control)

Gus wasn't knocked into next year by the MFC

ANB has made it crystal clear why he is leaving has nothing to do with the club

JV rumours ?  Did you listen to his post match interview - would have knocked any rumours dead to anyone listening without panic in their heads.

Then there is Smith and who knows what happened there and it probably is personal and has little to with club. So that leaves just the currrent Petracca issue which may be more due to him rather than the club. We don't know.

The sky is falling

We all know?!  All I know is that:

1. at the ground our docs didn't know how serious it was,

2.  at first the hosptial with all its equipment had the same impression 

3. It was only a second lot of scans/tests at the hospital that found serious issues. 

How is that 'badly mishandled' by the club? 

If Tracc's family think that they need to reconsider. (I could be ruder, but won't given they were probably traumatised at the time. But to still believe it and use is as an excuse for whatever...?)

My thoughts exactly.

 

Wow…

some of the Comments made on this thread are truly disgraceful 

CP5 is our one and only Norm Smith Medalist, who could have died wearing the MFC Jumper earlier this year. 

It’s obvious most of you don’t know what went on last offseason and to what extent. 
There are bridges to mend, not just from CP5

Did you notice how well the Midfield functioned on Saturday when a certain player wasn’t there?

Pack of Vultures…

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
