He's a great player but severely overrated by Melbourne supporters, IMO.
He's not peak Dusty/Judd.

Sound like type of bloke who would walk into a Ferrari dealership with 25k and expect to drive out the latest model.
Just quoting the media sources. Do you have official grounds to state otherwise?
Official grounds for what?
I'm saying his worth is being massively overrated by Melbourne supporters.
That's no different to supporters from any team rating their own players.
GC give: Pick 5, Pick 13, Pick 20, Port F1 (Luko)
Melb give: Petracca, Pick 43, Pick 49
That’s 4 first round picks and probably the only time any team could ever afford to offer that. Does that make it happen?

Yeah I have my doubts on that one just wanted to know why we wouldn't have the capital when we have all our draft picks

Yeah but as it stands we have as many things to trade as some teams you liked as in the hunt.
Doesn't matter, don't think we're chasing him unfortunately.
What do you think his worth or are you in the pick in the teens and McGinnis camp?
Considering he is our best player, contracted, future captain, norm smith medallist, multiple AA and we are happy to keep him.
I think he's a great player.
Top 5 pick on its own and a young b22 would be about the mark.
Bearing in mind he's on a huge contract, so Melbourne would have to foot the bill for a lot of it. If they're willing to take most of it on, then a late teens could be added.
Nobody would be coughing up a top 5 and top 10 pick for him, I imagine.
Having said that, media generally have NFI about trade value of players. Some suggestions they come up with every year are laughable.
Why the **** would we fit the bill on a player we want to keep?
If we are paying his contract he is staying at the Dees.
One of the dumbest things I have heard on here for a while.

IF Melbourne can swallow the pill and accept they are in rebuild territory, they could absolutely load up on this draft which is fairly even at the top and bats very deep AND get in the rebuild swing before the Tasmanian side enter. They could end up with a heap of picks in this draft if the players mentioned across the media are really available

Nah this getting good, need keep up with your post.
That's because you're not thinking about it in the slightest.
Your window is nailed shut.
So you can either offload an asset that wants to leave and get a really strong draft hand in return.
Or you can keep him and be a middling side until he retires.
Sounds like Oliver also has one foot out the door too, so if the club just bites the bullet, you could set yourself up massively.
By all means, keep both and settle for mid table finishes for the next 5 or so years.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Mac Andrew is needed
Always that one bloke these days that thinks every trade is a salary cap dump now
Same bloke who wanted 3 top 5 picks for an unproven 18 year old.

Yes, but doubt you get F1 for Luko, bloke is running around in the 2s
Says the bloke who hasn’t even suggested anything remotely viable
You've entirely missed the point, which is unsurprising.Always that one bloke these days that thinks every trade is a salary cap dump now
If Melbourne offers to take on salary in exchange for more draft capital, then that is another option.
Sorry I had to spell it out for you clearly, I though I made it fairly obvious.
I asked what you would put up and you went off on a tangent. Still waiting for your actual answer.
Noting we were discussing Collingwood who have **** all trade capital as it is so absolutely no idea why we would be suggesting trying to get even more capital off them.

I've NFI what you are talking about. You asked what I think he's worth and I gave you a clear answer.
I wasn't discussing Collingwood, I was discussing his potential trade value, like you asked.
Clearly Collingwood don't have the required capital to get it done. Petracca's dreaming if he thinks he can request a trade there.
He will be 29 at the start of next season. Sure Melbourne dont want him gone but he wont be in their next flag tilt you wouldnt think.
Probably has 3 decent seasons left. I wouldnt be giving up the world for him.

Yeah nah. He isn’t going anywhere for one first rounder and one second rounder.
Collingwood have no good young players unfortunately.
