He doesn't have many options if his choice is to stay in Victoria and play for a big club. Surely not Hawks...! They'll be unstoppable for years with all their additions.

That’s not the point - it might only be Richmond that offer a good enough haul of picks that MFC are willing to accept and grant a trade request. At that point it all collapses down to a choice for Trac of staying at MFC with all its problems or going to Richmond.

I think the horse has bolted on Trac ever setting foot in the MFC again. Untenable now.
It now leaves them in the unenviable position of basically having to trade him, and only to a team he agrees he be traded to no less, for whatever that team can rustle up. Trac will likely have to renegotiate his salary down as no team he wants to go to has a spare 1.3-1.7M for five years in the cap.
The MFC has really ****ed any chance of reconciliation with their petty attempts to win the narrative battle in the media, and in the process probably proven Petraccas central qualm that they are not a serious football club.

If Hawks are signing Barras and Battle, seemingly on big money, I doubt they can afford Petracca too. And they’ll likely have to give up a first rounder for Barras, too.
It looks to me like all of Pies, Blues, Hawks lack sufficient picks and/or cap space, whilst Saints, Kangas, Dogs and Cats don’t satisfy the selection criteria. So that really only leaves the Bombers and Richmond, with the latter best placed with cash and picks.

Bring him home.
I hope we dont go after Trac. The price is too high and I'm not sold on what he has to offer.
There are probably worse journos in Footy, but there is no bigger knob than Sam McClure. Have a listen to his tradies poddy. The bloke is unbearable. It's bizarre that Mitch Cleary (a top notch journo) is happy to sit there with him and listen to the genuine spew that comes out of SM's mouth.
Do you have more than just a gut feeling to support that opinion?

Oh, ok you were being serious. I thought that was a joke, like an obvious one because that trade was so ridiculous. We aren’t getting Trac for Noble and a mid/late second rounder, that’s just stupid.

I know plenty around here want Lukosis because he’s tall and looks good the few times he kicks the ball, but worth remembering in potential trade scenarios posted although unpopular, Noble is actually worth more than him.

Tbh I think Noble and 37 for Luko and 20 would be pretty fair, remembering that GC have targeted Noble in contract and GC have told Luko to look elsewhere. Also he has an inflated contract which diminishes trade value somewhat unless GC chipped in.

Lukosius would fit in nicely with the rest of the mediocre KPP that Port have stockpiled on their list, my concern would be hasnt it been reported that Port want 2x firsts for Houston? He’s a fine player, but I don’t think it’s close to a need for our list for the cost that would be required.

I was most taken by Fly on SEN saying yesterday that we will be very aggressive this trade period and want to bring plenty of new talent in
Could be a very interesting trade period and wonder what we have been planning the last 6 months
Pleasing that we have kept our plans in house

Done
Does it seem like more players this year have already flagged their interest in a trade, a lot earlier than normal? In years gone by a lot of players tended to leave it until after their B&F to make their intentions known, to the public at least.

Luko is Jack Watts, I can't believe people are getting sucked in.
GC will also want something decent.

The interesting point about Petracca is "enhancing his brand". To me that says he wants to go somewhere he can have maximum exposure to boost his marketability. Now what club has the most members and gets the biggest crowds through the gates? 
I like that, purely becuase we could grab an unexpected name or two and we won’t be linked with everyone
