Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[Juddrockz]

A few others may need to pull their head in at Melbourne now. Petracca put it all on the table and Melbourne have chosen who they’re backing. Anyone that asks to leave from here will be for ‘cultural reasons’. We need to steer clear.

100 percent correct.
Sounds like the MFC has bowed down to Trac and they'll make changes around him.

 

[DangerousD]

Love how posters crap on an opposition player calling him fat, lazy, doesn’t put in, he’s 30, blah, blah.

He kicked 42 goals this year, Owies career best year and he kicked 33.

 

[circusdevil]

Damn .... I'd already got my 2025 Premiership tattoo

 

[BlueTongue]

You also don’t know how he will return after such a serious injury

Didnt stop half this board putting the blinders on and still wanting to do the deal at the expense of our totally fit KPFs.

... Just Sayin'

 

[Juddrockz]

This isn't over imo. This will be a huge watch for the next 12 months and we've got to sort our shit out big time.

I saw this as pure and simple there just wasn't any appropriate deal out there that suited the Dees so Petracca had no choice but to stay.

I have no doubt we'll be discussing similar stuff this time next year if we don't make finals.

And he'll be off to the Pies then,the club he grew up supporting?
Wont be our concern then.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

So what do the Dees do if Kozzie, AnB, Lever and May all ask for trades? Still keep Trac or just embrace the shit show and trade everyone

Kozzie and ANB will go.

Petracca, Lever and May I would assume are their untouchables and there is no chance of trade there. Just like we have our untouchables.

 

[SurreyBlue]

If Trac stays, Oliver will be the one on the trade table.

 

[Lovers]

Yep. Things may well be different in 6 weeks time, but this is 100% damage control due to the Roffey train wreck.
Carefully worded from Petracca.

The part I found interesting was he’s contracted to 2029, and only said he was committed to playing out 2025.
So either that’s a lie to get to closer to trade period, or they agreed to trade him next year

 

[Juddrockz]

You reap what you sew.

 

[BlueTongue]

He would add zero to the team.

... except maybe he kicked 42G 25B and had 13 goal assists and 58 tackles this year FFS.

 

[jooce8891]

If Trac stays, Oliver will be the one on the trade table.

they'd have to pay >%50 of that horrific contract before any team even thinks of it after his showing this season

 

[BigFrizz36]

I think we do. I think the hard edge he plays with is just what we need. I don't doubt he's be a good contributor to our on-field performances if he keeps his skin folds under control.

And he can kick them on the run outside 50, which we struggle to do.

Stringer doesn't play with a hard edge. Stringer plays for Stringer. No more. No less.

Always plays better in a year when his contract is up.

Might get us 35 - 40 goals. Would also costs 20 by getting in the way of Harry and Charlie trying to get some easy Joe the Gooses. Does a little for scoring ability. Undoes all of that and more by being a selfish non team orientated player .

He's a perfect match for * for mine and should be left there to rot in their mediocrity.

 

[Red Bull]

Some weird stuff going on here that’s for sure … very weird

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Petracca confirms Demon commitment

Christian Petracca has confirmed he's committed to pulling on the red and blue in 2025.

Drama queen….

So that's a no from you then?

 

[JustaBattler]

Woweee - what a waste of bandwidth on Petracca.....situation gets weirder and weirder.

 

[Arr0w]

Very strange indeed. Get the feeling there is more that plays out with this situation

 

[PrendersBigEngine]

No blinders. Petracca at Carlton would have been something else. People who didn't want to have him don't watch the game other than their own side IMO. He wins games. Well done Dees for keeping him.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Well, that was an awesome ride but it has sadly come to an end.

We move on with our other targets.

BigFooty thanks you for the traffic.

 

[Stamos]

Well, that was an awesome ride but it has sadly come to an end.

Lol

I'm in the camp that whilst I'd love him at Carlton - he's one of the best in the comp - I don't like what him leaving could mean for player contracts and the competition as a whole.

 

[mochacinolatte]

? I got 2024 already done

I am happy to take Lever if they want to trade him.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Questions still need to be asked and I’m sure they have but a real in depth look at why, a person Russell, who has been successful everywhere else, had a terrible record at our club?

I find it crazy that someone so well regarded and trained, with a fantastic resume comes and performs worse than at anytime in his career.

This is the concern regardless of who we hire.

I wonder why we kept him so long. He just survived off previous successes the whole time he was at our club.
