I’m new here after perusing for 18 years, but I gotta be honest... Couldn’t believe the amount of support for the smug pr!cks that is Brisbane. I detest Geelong, but at least if they make the GF, the likes of Dangerfield have already won one, so it lessens the disdain. Hopefully Sydney wins and keep the likes of Zorko, Hipwood, Andrews, McCluggage, Answerth and Neale premiership-less. Far too many unlikeable players in spite of apart of me would be happy for Fagan.

Very long time lurker of this forum (used to remember reading this forum religiously non stop since 06 when I started year 7) and have loved this club pretty much since my 8th birthday. I can no longer bite my tongue. My mum works at Leo Supermarkets and has worked with a relative of Trac’s for quite a long time (she shared photos of a family gathering a few months ago, so she isn’t lying) and she definitively told us that to her knowledge, Petracca has not discussed a trade and more importantly, the family’s grievances towards the club is merely one of mental and emotional scarring since the Queen’s Birthday incident (near death experience particularly). Naturally, it’ll literally take time to heal and time is the healer of all scars. Knowing the media now made up the McKay trade rumors (manager came out with a strong vengeance saying under NO circumstances is McKay being traded), who is to say they are 110% right on everything else? Wouldn’t even surprise me if the entire “brand” narrative the media is trying to push is twisted to no end. Petracca realizes now that the footy journey doesn’t last forever, so can anyone begrudge him for wanting to think about his financial placing and post footy life? Speaking to this relative of Petracca’s, I honestly got no indication of him leaving. She may or may not told me the 100% truths, but until Petracca or his management come out and definitively tell us he is leaving, everything else is just irrelevant noise.
