I don’t think it’s going to take overs to get it done. But it’s 2024, generally speaking if a player nominates a team then the 2 clubs will work out a deal that suits both.

I would say I followed the process of the organisation I am a part of (AFL) so take it up with them.
Surely the doctor had a right to Vito him on this just like a concussion. He nearly died in hospital a few hours later so I have the feeling the wrong call was made by the doctor. What the player decided to do should have been irrelevant.
Having said that, the doctor may have had no way of suspecting (I won't say knowing)his injury was that bad.
Good news.

Acland St is in good need of a few more decent Mediterranean bistros ... though his target clientele would probably have to travelAre you suggesting a smaller club like maybe the saints would be a good fit for him? For that 3rd round pick you value him at?

Even if he did, so what?
Josh Dunkley and Ian Hill nominated Essendon, but their trades didn't get done. Why? Because Essendon didn't have the trade capital.
Petracca won't be going to Collingwood. Only delusional people like you think otherwise.

From where I sit, Carlton are in the window right now.
We also have F/S this year we can rest our laurels on (the two Camporeale boys).
Id be happy trading out Pittonet (we have TDK and McGovern/ McKay/ JSOS as backups) and Owies (who already has a few clubs looking at him, and Williams looks good in the Small forward role for us) for picks in the 2nd round (ish) each for a side looking for an established Ruck and Small forward.
Martin will also be headed out West if rumors are correct, but that's likely a 3rd rounder given his injury history and age. W could probably nab another pick in the same range for Carroll (another West Aussie kid).
We already have 3 x 3rds this year as well (forward planning for the above).
If we could pull it off that gives us this year's 1st, next year's 1st and 3 x 2nd rounders this year (to trade for another 1st somewhere for a team also looking for points) to get something done.
We then draft a project ruck in the PSD or Rookie one.
His injury must be why he is requesting to go to a club with big crowds

Carlton’s situation would be taking on Petraccas wage, hence it most likely would take a player on a decent wicket to be part of that. I can’t see Carlton trading picks only and being able to fit it in the cap.

Its certainly at least one of the reasons he wants out. He also clearly has issues with other management protocols of the club (Clayton Oliver etc).
He wants the big clubs to maximize his earnings in the time he has left, which you cant begrudge him for.
You dont seek to maximize your earnings when are where you can?

We could afford it. Owies, Pittonet and Martin are not on absolute peanuts. You'd assume they're on at least median AFL player salaries, so that's a million freed up (300k or so each).
Time will tell, hey brother

P Wright and Stringer to Dees
Hawks future 1st to Dons
M Lewis, Ward and 2nd rounder to Dees
Petracca to Hawks
Gives Dees a pretty decent forward line for next year and then a fit Lewis to roll in with Wright plus gives them a good midfielder with nice foot skills.

No good?
Think it’s more the beating around the bush in communications.
Would you trade your best player for a bunch of injured/VFL players?

Not really as they all have to be replaced with draftees on the cap so you will save less than that. It also wont be easy to get anyone to take pittonets contract.
Plus someone like tdk who is FA next year is going to need huge money to stay.
You could get petracca in but it will cost you one of your top end players cap wise (either this year or next)

Cripps and Weitering took less than market value.
As a supporter of a Club with a history of players taking less to have a shot at a flag, I'd hope our blokes would do the same as yours.

Only when I’m lonely, which is most the time. Any chance I can get your number instead
