Pretty sure the Afl is worth 5x more than rugby league, and triple the viewers on tv

Petracca in full contact today?

May as well play his mum @ full forward.... and they still won't get him

Nah pretty hard to check out for 3 years and by than he will be the best small forward in the game and still worth 2 firsts and a player, so we will be fine

Still.not great with 8 of the 12 being best 22

The cheek on these freo players... no wonder they'll never win a premiership.

Wtf is wrong with our club, soon as things start looking good.. we assembled a premiership list everyone thought was ganna be at the top for a long time... record members 70k+ we seem to f$#@k it up ourselves, our best players want to leave and I don't blame them... we have 1 chance this year to recover this era so we can look back on it being a true success... don't want to go from flag and looking at being a big club to back in the doldrums where we once were.. there is so much riding on this season. Hope we can deliver Lastly to anyone who hasn't signed up, get off your a#$e and support like made this year the boys need us in the stands more than ever

It's actually the 1 area of the ground i think we are short on for depth especially experienced depth

Still feel we needed to draft or trade in a ruckman in the 22-26 age bracket ready to take over from Max in a couple years, even if we get this kid it's ganna take time

Can you post some points for the article for those that choose not to pay these b$#@tards

Could be an element of this, however it does more harm than good... how is the club going to sell memberships if there is constant speculation about their 3 best players wanting to leave. Imo the players need to state their intentions, after all there is a season to play in 25 before any of this

How on earth can this paper run with this on the eve of the season, no respect for fans... we will ask for the world off free if true, no way they getting him cheap

Just hope he is mentally strong enough now to be able to move forward and put his body on the line when needed... feel for the guy. I don't know if I could do it.. but il back him in. Just hope this is the very last time we hear the words petracca and cracked ribs again.

Is this fixable in 1 off season or are we delusional thinking we can make the 8 with aging stars ?

Any one ganna bid on ascroft?

You try playing Afl with a broken neck... the guy deserves respect a MFC legend forever

70k members chip in 200 each that's 14m + the coterie donations hopefully 5m the club has 10m thats nearly 30 the afl matches our 30 and the state and federal stump up the remaining 40m... done

Did Pert do a speech cant find it anywhere ?

Maybe just maybe... Melbourne is a progressive club who are not afraid to shop there stars around to see what they could get trade wise, knowing this is the norm in other sports, and will be in the Afl in years to come.

The question has to be why are they so desperate to get him out? What has he done? Maybe then.. we can except this?

Without knowing, it seems that way... think I read somewhere Tracc was upset how lenient we were on Clarry last of season, there relationship is probably key to Dees fortunes moving forward. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Name another club that has this happening all at once.... if the environment was better, not even Nibbler would consider leaving.

Good on you, but losing players of this calibre this just rips the soul out off the club

WTF has the club done to these players if Tracc, Oliver and potentially Pickett want out... and Nibbler gone... this is a disaster and we deserve a explanation as we all thought we would be admiring some of the best players to put on our colours ever, for the rest of there careers

What did you want the club to do call up every resident and ask, 'is it ok if we build a home base in the middle of the racecourse or would you rather stare at empty grassland'? I mean no one will care once it's built, and will just add value to the area.
