If they dont reload this year then its time to let him go if he wants too and begin the rebuild. If im Bulldogs id be offering Naughton for Petracca + filler. Alternatively if im North Melbourne im splitting pick 2 for Gold COasts 7 and 12and offering pick 7 + 22 for example
Iceman!
Brownlow Medallist
He is worth more than 7 + 22
I don't think so at 29. Probably about as good as you could hope for.

Would pay our first this year and our future first no issues. Plenty of clubs would.

Age is a concern but dynamic line breaking mids that can go forward are just priceless and he is one of the best in the comp.
They say no player is bigger than the club
To me this is a rare exception. You’d clear out several coaches and overheads if it meant keeping Petracca happy at the club. It’s not enough to hold him to his deal and keep things the same. While Petracca, May, Oliver etc are in their prime, you have to make the most of the time they have left and have them happy and wanting.

Yeah but that's tracking to be ~16 + F1, which could well be worse than 7+22.
If he was 26, they could name their price. At 29, 7 + 22 is a decent offer.
No question about his ability, but the reality is he could have as few as 3 good years left. Explosive athletes are always a risk post 30.

Pick 1...
Richmond ran out of players. Onto the next club.
Gawn tomorrow.
Gawn tomorrow.
How f'ed is the culture @ the Dees if multiple players and officials share his frustrations.

Is it Goodwin or Pert or someone else?
Rumour on our board a few weeks back he toured our facilities.
I called bs at the time.
Perhaps I was wrong

If I'm gold coast I'm giving up lukoscious, 8, 10 and 20. Dimma just coaches him like dusty.
Freo I'm giving up the 3 first rounders and not worrying about Bolton or baker
North I'm giving 2, 23 and phillips
Saints I'm giving king and a first

Gold Coast a good shout if he is to leave Vic
He's too old for the farm like that. Has disaster written all over it.
He's almost 29... and coming off a very serious injury.

Nothing will come from this in terms of Petracca being traded but you can bet every dollar you have that it'll push change to happen behind the scenes at the Dees. It's clear things are not all rosey there. I hope they can sort it all out, there's a heap of likable players there.
Edit: But if there was a chance - there's not a lot I wouldn't give up for him.

Is there any concern he won't get back to 100% after his injury?

No. Its a bad injury but it's nothing that will have future complications.
