Just the supporters falling over themselves to get him. You have your stars, go take care of other areas. If you bring in Houston there seriously has to be a salary cap investigation...again.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Carlton would be rolling the biggest of dice trading McKay for Petracca. If Curnow goes down their season is gone.

This thread is about Petracca, not Houston.
Seems you just wanted to have a go at Carlton, and you can do that elsewhere.
Not with Carlton's injury list. It would be one of the dumbest moves Carlton can do to trade out a KPF for a player coming back from a massive accident with their injury-prone list. They're in their premiership window now. Petracca probably won't be at his best next year and is more likely to re-injure himself.
Collingwood do not have the trade capital so that rules them out.
Hawthorn IMO is the best option for Petracca, but I don't see Hawthorn willing to give up what Melbourne will ask for.
Essendon better not be in the conversation. There'll be a riot at Tullamarine if we yet again attempt a short-term quick fix.
Really rhe dogs are in prime position. Naughton is surplus to their needs. They could offer naughton and a first

Could Hawthorn not sign Baraas (get Barass as a free agent),
trade Mitch Lewis, 14,2025r1 for Petracca, 2025r2.
Who says no to that trade?
There is injury risk with both Lewis and Petracca
You got an elevator pitch we could run with?
We offered a good winger, son of former player 10m and they still said no, be funny trying to lure a Brownlow medallist.

Depends if they just decide to rebuild or not. No Trac means theyre probably not making a dent in finals.
If they stuff it up theyll be bottom of the ladder while Tasmania is entering

Would they try to include Rory Lobb instead of Naughton?
How would Naughton feel.
I would be concerned if I was Naughton about Melbourne's future prospects.
He has more chance at winning a flag in 2025, 2026 at Dogs than Melbourne in my view.
It's linked, going for big names over recruiting, drafting and developing. I mean Cerra was a big name, but was he what you needed?
Same with Trac, he is not quick running defensively. You need more outside pace, not inside pace.
Apart from Voss I actually like Carlton. Maybe you have the blinders on here?

Carlton already have a great midfield. Although Cerra being constantly injured doesn’t help. What sets Carton apart is the McKay/Curnow combo.
Hawthorn seem like the perfect fit to me. In contention and have the assets to get him over. He would be massive for their midfield.

This is not a thread about Carlton, or about the decision to recruit Cerra.
No, among other things it's my role to make sure threads stay on topic. The topic of this thread is Christian Petracca. Keep it that way please.
How so for Melbourne though? Without Petracca they are a pretty ordinary side. They would need both to be any kind of top 4 hope. But even thats probably gone now with Gawn, May, Viney getting old and Brayshaw and others gone.
Petracca wanting to leave is piss weak and I hope Melbourne don't trade him unless they receive significant overs. The guy is still under contract till 2029, you shouldn't allow to bail so easily.

Mitch Lewis, first rounder could be an option. The guy could win a Coleman if he stayed fit. Dear and Chol combo seems to be working well and Hawthorn's game plan, like the Pies doesn't require a superstar tall forward.

That’s close but you’d need a bit more I reckon. As good as Lewis has looked at times, he’s a gamble due to the injuries.

If Petracca wants BIG BIG CROWDS he'll get them at Casey, ****in' prick.

Why would they take a bloke who’s gonna miss most of 2025?
So just give up on Jefferson? A first round pick with 2 years experience and growth who has been kicking bags in the VFL?
Yeah, Nah. The Dees need a key forward is old news now. We have moved on from that.
You guys don’t have a first round high enough. Injury riddled player + pick in the teens won’t get close to trading for our best player.
He sounds a bit floggish:
“He has also told the club, on more than one occasion, that he wants to play more consistently in front of larger crowds.”
What does he want the Dees to do, close all the roads to Mount Hotham during winter ?.

Petracca wants play to bugger crowds.
Rules out Saints, North, Bulldogs and Cats.
Leaves only Blues, Don's, Tigers, Pies and Hawks.
Tigers and Pies have no currency.
Dons and Hawks possibly.
Blues really the only destination.
Mackay for Petracca seems fair.
