Petracca absolutely embarrassed himself last year using the media to leak he has no choice but to leave last year when trying to get a move was made very clear to him by his management that he’ll have to force a deal because Melbourne won’t agree to one and he acted like a prat it’s clear now that he’s doing it again to create a Merrett situation where he has to taint us to make his position untenable because the 2 clubs he’s chosen to nominate don’t have much to satisfy us in a trade

Again, who cares where he goes. The only reason to lose a guy I like him is to reset in order to do that we need to get something worthwhile. If the club lets him go for a poor deal to get his wishes , then he’s taking us for a ride I agree we should be looking at guys like Flanders or Soligo. Adelaide shouldn’t let a Soligo go but we know how desperate they are which could work in our favour. Looking at it now, in the last few seasons, we had a serious opportunity to reset and trade him, Oliver and Petty to get ourselves some currency in very good drafts. (Caddy, Curtin were both available in those drafts) Instead, we went all in on Goodwin who now admits, he was unable to motivate us. I’m sure he regrets it as well, because he was judged on winning rather than on a rebuild What a missed opportunity. There is seriously no upside to our off-season this year and I don’t see how it gets any better.

Don’t really care where Trac wants to go, he can go wherever he likes I just hope we take the view that he can go to a club that offers us a deal worth losing him and don’t let him go for cheap to fulfill his wishes Time We stopped getting walked all over

This is why it’s all BS It’s all about jumping off a sinking ship, joining a football team that will play finals and contest If WA was his concern he wouldn’t nominate a club. Simple

If we’re a serious football club, then we’ll tell him “ if this is about going home, then you will go to the club that gives us the better pick”

If anyone deserves our boos next year ignoring the fact he twice committed to us this year and then seeks a trade gave him his shot after the WA clubs ignored him Good riddance yuck

Fantastic news.

Agreed, Was worth it for the flag, it's been downhill since then. Melksham, Gawn etc

Now confirmed

Wasn't the first time this year we approached Bevo and thought we'd try again. I see Morris is just reporting the club May is out. Another tick to my flimsy source

You can insult me all you like thinking it’s from the media, but no, it’s straight from the club Same way I knew we were in for Derksen long before the media did Same way I know McVee is [censored] off about his midfield time Same way I know Rivers will also go home if he doesn’t get some in real time You’re not the only one with contacts

LOL of course he did. He may not have handed in a shiny slip saying trade me or else ala Petracca but he certainly had the conversation Issue is so did ANB Trac and Oliver and club was in no position to let him go Club said wait a year and he agreed and club did well to turn it around

Trac basically off according to Morris

Feel bad for Kelly, he was a close second. He had told his sister he really felt he nailed it but King was always the problem with more experience.

He had a health scare when going for the WCE job and pulled out. Was the leader at the time as well

The media reported that everyone else smashed their interview but the word from the club was this guy went in McRae style and brought a fresh new perspective. Going to be interesting to find out what happened with Buckley.

finey played a blinder here getting saints off their [censored]

To me, he wasn't better than Pickett, but I guess he missed a few games which has a big impact in this format.

Anyone at the Bnf able to shed light on whether this was an out of the blue announcement that surprised billings, or whether he knew and it was a respectful gesture for someone who has had a semi decent career

It’s 1 of 3 things (IMO) The job is still Buckleys and he knows and not wasting time during finals to prepare He was never happy having to prepare during finals. (Not the only one - Daly wasn’t happy about this either) We’re not worth it

They are also building a community hub that includes sports field for the local Jewish football side AJAX to use (Sheezel's junior club)

I posted on here that Rivers is one of the players wanting to go home for personal reasons and was ridiculed. This year did nothing to curb that refusing to give him midfield time. New coach has a big job on his hands because this guy is a future captain

I live across the road from the racecourse, and it's quote hard to see where the land will be split between the club and the school

My understanding is he's staying but maybe not something taking into account with a new coach coming in
