None of the above is MFC problem...above all the deal needs to be awesome for us remember.

Let's hope they're not just taking a talk they can't stick to because none of what is being tabled makes us better. If they don't get something good out of this, or walk away if it isn't good enough, they will be off to an absolutely shocking start with the new coach and Tim Lamb needs to go.

All so true Angus with Traccs creds we need a great deal to match his worth or tell them to [censored] off ,he is a required player

    This ..this...and THIS

    It's up to GC to make it work... not us.

    I’m in the ‘good riddance’ camp but it’s definitely not a great deal for two best 23 players, one being as decorated as he is.

    We don't HAVE to make ANYTHING work for GC.

    Who writes this? The journalist who works for Team Trac is who!

    Wants to get this deal done for Trac by putting pressure on the Dees to accept a deal they are not happy with

    I’ve slept on it and I’m still not a fan of 7 & 8 for Trac and McVee.

    That doesn’t feel like a trade that turns our heads. That doesn’t feel like a trade that is the best result for the MFC.

    It’s a terrible deal for just Petracca, let alone weighing in with McVee: what is this - some sort of internal AFL whitewash to ensure the Gold Coast franchise get their man?! This will be picks 11 and 12 in a [censored] draft - these selections have little to no value, even as trade chips.

    I still think we give them later picks that will equate to pick 24 on points

    For comparison - the Rioli trade from last year:

    Rioli has joined the Suns on a five-year contract in exchange for picks six and 23, while the Suns will get four late picks - 51, 61, 70 and 76 - back from the Tigers.

    To think all GC has to do is trade Humpty and 7 or 8 and they have enough points.

    It's not that hard really.

    Come on GC....hes going next year anyway 😉

    Dif being tigers wanted picks.

    We dont really. We need players

    24 = 621

    28 + 41 = 725

    Would rather them take our later selections and let us use 24 how we see fit.

    They want Petracca.

    They want JUH.

    They want their 3 talented academy kids...2 are top 10, both probably going higher than 7 & 8.

    We want a player, probably a player and a pick, then they can get all their academy riches.

    They cannot get all they want, unless we absolutely roll over for picks that we would cover in points for them anyway.

    It is madness.

    BH coming into play makes most sense, they simply have to give a player of quality to get it done. They know it too.

    I'm reluctantly ok with the trade if JT's ok with it.

    It will also confirm to me that we have no interest in retaining Trac as long as the trade offer from GC isn't a joke and an insult.

    Well if he's proven correct, then direct your anger at the club.

    BTW, all the journos are throwing up this trade scenario.

    Of course they are - it's a nepo baby v a club in the 15-18 range of HQ love. HQ have a vested interest in GC being good so picks only best outcome for them on that.

    I know this will be an unpopular view, but at this point, with seemingly no one on GCS list that is tradable, 7+8 might just be enough.

    We shouldnt be sending anything back to them, 7+8, nothing else.

    He doesnt want to play for us, if we hold him to the contract, we will be going through all this again in 12 months.

    Is that we we really want to do?????

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
