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.

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.  

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?

Think we all want what is best for our club... some are more privy to information than others, so if you wish to elaborate??

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
