2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.

    Can someone please explain what is a contract??

    Someone if their own volition signs for x years at $y - so far I understand.

    Then the player changes his mind and wants out - why should the original club be liable for 0.01 cents of his salary elsewhere? Hasn’t he breached his contract unilaterally?

    Sure, if we want him out becoming the party that breached the contract, then we need to make a deal that satisfies him.

    How does it all actually work out?

    Petracca is a legend of the MFC whether he stays or goes, prefer him with us but if he is against us we really need to ensure that we are adequately compensated. CP5’s don’t grow on tree’s.

    man ive lost my love for this bloke. even on the off chance he stays.

    He is off to the GC. They have the credit needed to get a deal done. Crows never had it. When we get Draft spots / players and $1+ off our books it will be a good result.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
