Star player but you don't sell the farm for 3 good years unless you are right in the window and if you are right in the window you probably dont have those sort of picks anyway
I don’t know. I think injury would be his biggest issue. Danger is still a game changer at Geelong when he plays.An explosive contested bull like Petracca is exactly the type that you wouldn't expect to have a high quality extended career. No idea what some of you guys are on about
with May and Gawn 33 next year, petracca and lever 29, oliver and Schache 28…do you just concede the run is over and blow it up and try to hard rebuild. Oliver and petracca should net 3 early firsts.
I'm no expert, but Oliver seems like a bag of chips and 'we'll still pay part of his contract' for Melbourne just to get some of his salary off the books, as it stands.
I doubt they have cap trouble + if they’re willing to get rid of him for nothing plus pay a portion of his salary that’d be alarm bells re how bad things are.
I could see it as being a club giving up a good pick and Melbourne pay part of his salary. He’s a proven quality player and the club getting him will have to take some risk. Whether it’s giving up a pick or taking on the entirety of his salary.
One of these is not like the others.with May and Gawn 33 next year, petracca and lever 29, oliver and Schache 28…do you just concede the run is over and blow it up and try to hard rebuild. Oliver and petracca should net 3 early firsts.
He's not going to west coast as they are years away from contending, Carlton don't have the cap space or picks really, what's their first this year about 9 -12 than next year a pick in the teens. That's not happeningPlenty have a first this year and next.
WC will have pick 3 and 11 after Barass leaves
Carlton first + F1 and F2
Teams are good these days an moneuvering picks around.
What was jezza 27 or 28, he was 3 firsts ?He’s 29 next season who is TBA coming off a massive injury.
I’ve seen some Melbourne fans tonight compare it to the Judd trade in terms of value.
Judd moved when he was 24.
I wouldn’t be comfortable trading more than a single top 10 pick tbh.
It’s unlikely you get 100 games out of this trade, so the value should reflect that imo.

Also out of contract and wanting to leave as a free agent. But still an absolute steal at those three picks.What was jezza 27 or 28, he was 3 firsts ?
We got 22 and 26 (or something like that) back tooBasically a year younger than Petracca.
15, 18, 25

Yeah, spot on as far as I'm concerned. Terrific player, but (given an understandably hefty asking price) completely wrong for us, completely wrong for other teams with huge sliding potential next year and probably a couple of years older than you'd like if you're - say - North Melbourne.
For Geelong, I think 2025 is the drop and I'm embracing that. It's the year to give opportunities to our draftees who've been starving in the VFL over the last few years, not mortgage the future for Petracca, when we're likely to already be coughing up our first pick (and probably more) for Bailey Smith.
I'm sure other Geelong people would disagree, but I feel very strongly at this stage that that's the best path for us to take this offseason.
Didn't know Schache was still on a list, no loss, must be delist materialwith May and Gawn 33 next year, petracca and lever 29, oliver and Schache 28…do you just concede the run is over and blow it up and try to hard rebuild. Oliver and petracca should net 3 early firsts.
Schache's a bizarre inclusion there.with May and Gawn 33 next year, petracca and lever 29, oliver and Schache 28…do you just concede the run is over and blow it up and try to hard rebuild. Oliver and petracca should net 3 early firsts.
Gotta try to pinch one more flag while Schache is in his prime....with May and Gawn 33 next year, petracca and lever 29, oliver and Schache 28…do you just concede the run is over and blow it up and try to hard rebuild. Oliver and petracca should net 3 early firsts.
I think there was a hint of sarcasm in there..Schache's a bizarre inclusion there.
Also out of contract and wanting to leave as a free agent. But still an absolute steal at those three picks.
North Melbourne truly in the box seat here.
- Early picks available for trade
- Quality/promising young players likely available for trade (Powell, Phillips, Scott, etc)
- Cap space
- Young stable core under contract that Petracca can step into without having to carry an unduly share of the load
- Proven Head Coach
- Join a team that's near the bottom of the ladder so doesn't attract the 'bandwagoner' tag
- Everyone looks good in the Royal Blue and White
Make it happen Euge.
