He isn't going to Saints.Lewis won't want to move.
And would Melbourne want a key forward in return for their best player who is likely missing the entire next season?
This has St.Kilda written all over it.
Max King and the first rounder they get for Battle.
They'll sell the professionalism of Ross Lyon first and foremost. Then just say the first half of this year was an aberration.
Would create a solid partnership with Jack Steele.
Also, he knows he'd be the main reason why their crowds and membership figures sky-rocket. Would be a HEAP of interest in watching him play for another club.
Where the hell does big G come from?
Can prob live with the rest although really wouldn't like seeing yet another Hawk name playing for the Swans and Ward at the dee's
King is supposedly just about to sign a thumper extension.Lewis won't want to move.

The new capperImagine Baz strutting up and down the coast in his smugglers. Match made in heaven.
Depends on how strong his demand is to leave. It sounds pretty damn strong!I just don't see a way Melbourne trade CP, they still feel they are in the window (rightly or wrongly). They would be looking to reload, if they lose Petracca any dreams of extending this window is closed. If they move him they are stuck with Oliver, Gawn, May, Lever, Viney, Langdon all in/around the tail end of their primes. They will not be able to replace the Petracca level talent and they won't be in a position to commit to a rebuild.
This is more than just losing a player, list wise i don't see how they could lose him and set themselves up in the short or long term.
He isn't going to Saints.
He wants premierships.
Was on Footy Classified as top 5 for losing 1-on-1 contests this year
Yeah, because no player has ever been traded when they really wanted to stayYou really think McKay is sitting back saying ‘yeh that complete ****ing rabble where a superstar is desperate to leave is where I want to play instead of with all of my best friends’?
I’d be sniffing around McKay (or TDK), we’d be much more attractive. Blues need space and a pick if they are serious about Houston, Silvagni and TDK are more than capable of playing second/third forward instead of McKay and realistically they can’t all play together.
My guy, Saints want to rebuild through the draft.He's young enough St.Kilda and North are still better options from that perspective than Collingwood, Richmond and Geelong with their list demographics.
If I were Melbourne I just would not trade him under any circumstances.Re CP:
- He wants out of Melbourne FC.
- He will not move interstate.
- He would entertain offers from any Victorian club but would prefer one that is competing in, or close to, finals.
- His destination would also need to have a culture that he is happy with.
- He likes Hawthorn ... has friends there.
- Melb FC are going to demand heavy compensation. Coming back to them will include, ideally, an elite established forward.
I don't know whether the Hawks want him or can get him. I do know that we are absolutely one of his preferred destinations.

They wont have a choice. They have allowed a drug culture to spread through the club for years and now mismanaging star players. The wheels are wobbling and they're about to fall off. The whole club is about to be rocked hard, watch this space...If I were Melbourne I just would not trade him under any circumstances.
To give him up you'd need serious compensation in return and anyone offering that will cripple their list.
It's not like Bolton where it's probably best for Richmond to get some extra picks.
Claz has recommitted to the club. Going nowhere now.They wont have a choice. They have allowed a drug culture to spread through the club for years and now mismanaging star players. The wheels are wobbling and they're about to fall off. The whole club is about to be rocked hard, watch this space...

HAW OUT - Lewis, Pick 12, F1 (HAW)
HAW IN - Barrass, Petracca
MEL OUT - Petracca
MEL IN - Lewis, Pick 12, F1 (HAW), F2 (WCE)
WCE OUT - Barrass, F2 (WCE)
WCE IN - Pick 6, DGB
I would argue petracca is a similar value to Jeremy Cameron which was 3 firsts (albeit double digit) with 2 seconds going back so roughly 2 middle firsts. Max King is probably worth a late first and could be a possible part of a three way trade. For petracca to get to us we would need to move some fringe players to get bid matching picks to then grab another first say from the lions. A trade I haven’t spent much time on could look something like this haven’t said who the fringe players would be and pies 2nd could also be a player to saints as an alternative.
Dees get hawks f1 max king saints r3
Saints get lions r1 pies r2
Hawks get petracca
Barrass for r1 plus Battle FA and petracca as above then take Cody Anderson NGA and re rookie 2 players like Breust and Gunston to satisfy 3 picks at ND.

That values Petracca at 2025 Pick 15-20 + 2024 Pick 28ish (C'wood 2nd), yeah?I would argue petracca is a similar value to Jeremy Cameron which was 3 firsts (albeit double digit) with 2 seconds going back so roughly 2 middle firsts.

To be fair I said I hadn’t spent much time on it!That values Petracca at 2025 Pick 15-20 + 2024 Pick 28ish (C'wood 2nd), yeah?
That be pretty sweet!
