Yes, other clubs know we want him out so they have the advantage, so it will probably be one first rounder

Geelong must think they can get Smith and Oliver for one first rounder each

Seems that way

Geelong may not be able to satisfy us but now that other clubs know he's gettable there could be other suitors

If we get two first rounders I'm taking it and running

I think it might be best for both parties if he moves on. The relationship isn't working.

Geelong

Ashcroft becomes the youngest player to win the Norm Smith and the quickest to remove the Norm Smith from around his neck

They can say whatever they want, the cup will still be sitting in the trophy cabinet

I don't think anyone would care if they just played the national anthem and bounced the ball

...and the AFL got the Grand Final it wanted

I don't get the idea that because the premiership wasn't won at the MCG that some people feel short-changed. This is how the supporters of all the non-Victorian teams experience a premiership and they don't feel short-changed. Same goes for the NRL, A League, netball etc. In the NFL and NBA this is the norm. It's not the little VFL anymore.

I thought we had the money we just couldn't find a location

Is it possible the AFL changed the rule just enough to get him to Gold Coast?

Is the rebuild too good? North Melbourne is on the bottom picking up a lot very high draft picks and will probably end up with a better list

I mostly agree but I would say the longer the silence lingers the more likely he'll choose to leave, because getting the trade to happen will be difficult

I feel like it doesn't really matter if he stays or goes, this is a culture killer.

I guess people will attack this journalist as well

It's childish isn't it. I'm glad I don't read replies or reactions.

When Tom Morris reported that Petracca wanted out, a lot of people attacked him. It appears Morris was right. I guess those people will come on and apologise. Nah, they'll just go quiet.

I wouldn't mind Sydney winning but I don't want to watch Papley's over-celebration

I agree but when you post a poll you can't turn off comments

How many years until our next premiership?

I don't like this idea. The players are only interested in one medal and I've noticed more and more players showing their dislike for the Norm Smith medal. We saw Buckley taking it off straight away and even Petracca wasn't wearing it when celebrating the premiership the next day. So this will be another medal that sits in the old sock draw.

Don't worry, people will find somebody
