Speculation Christian Petracca [UFA 2029]

[kreglze]

I'd put 7 and 12 on the table for him and see if Melbourne are interested. There is 0 chance it happens, this will be a push by him to get the club to make some changes, but he is a game changer if he is fit and we are desperate for a point of difference in this team, he would be it.

 

[banzai]

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

The injury has to be a worry, similar injury and Dusty was never anywhere near the same as a contested player. If Petracca loses even a bit of that, his value plumetts. Having said that if Im GC Id be all in here. They have a factory of kids coming through, they dont need draft picks, if hes anywhere near his prime they would contend quickly.

Good offer but I cant see him leaving Vic.

Already up to four pages in 2 and a half hours. Insane.

Add another 10 on the north board over the last 2 weeks.
9 of which are disbelieving the bloke who told us.

Yeah, you are probably right, but you at least ask the question.

I'd rather spend 2 first rounders on Petracca than Rioli which is the other mooted move.

 

[jackag24]

Age is irrelevant to a guy like Petracca

He's one of the most professional players

Will play till he's 40 probably

 

[MisterMarcus]

He ain't leaving.

This is a strategic rumour to force change. Probably coach. Potentially to move some other players out

I mean, we said that sort of stuff about Dunkley....

 

[Mich0]

I’m neutral on this, wouldn’t mind restocking over next few years before Tassie enters and best way to do it is to lose a few seniors.

Would take an almighty offer to lure a Norm Smith medallist with 5 years on his contract though.

 

[buttox]

I love north but if he's touring my club he's gone I reckon.
We won't be the most attractive suitor

 

[hawkman]

The real question is if trac leaves does it start an exodus?

And does Clayton Oliver end up being the last man standing at Melbourne

Give me pickett and jvr please.
Absolute guns

 

[sexyhunk]

Rumour on our board a few weeks back he toured our facilities.
I called bs at the time.
Perhaps I was wrong

no offense but why would a 29 year old petracca want to go to north who wont be competing for few more years at least.

You asking me after I called bs on the rumour?

 

[hawkman]

You would think Essendon and Carlton would be the first ones lining up for him. Carlton love their stars and not worry about the rest while Essendon need another genuine star to put alongside Merrett

just found a simliar post to quote on man

wasnt havent a direct go at you.

I don't see how they would get a trade done. But decent call they would reasonably attractive

Tbh no one on the north board believed it.
The rumour was Friday training had been cancelled because a gun of the league who could come in and lead our young mids was touring and we wanted to keep it quiet.
We all thought Fyfe at first because he's cooked and wouldn't cost bugger all.
When petracca was mentioned no one believed it.
Who knows?
I'd love him he's a gun but I'm not holding my breath.

Except if he ended up at either of those 2 clubs there would be riots with Chardonnay on the streets.

Both could have a top 10 pick plus a future 1st

 

[Cleric]

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

No clubs doing that for a 29 year old with injury issues.

Not a drop of Grange in sight? Cost of living impacting Melbourne supporters now?

 

[Del28562]

He had a impact injury, Lloydy came back fine after he's spleen, he'll have a full preseason and be raring to go round 1 next year

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I would trade a heck of a lot to get him to geelong (as would every other club).but theres no chance melb willingly trade him in contract so its irrelevant.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

The difference there is andrew dunkley which doesnt apply here.
