Thatd be some salary dumpFrom Barrett's article:
"Of the remaining five years of Petracca's contract with Melbourne, his annual wage will peak at $1.7 million a year, and not fall below $1.2 million a year. He has deserved that deal, for his career has taken in four All-Australians, two best-and-fairests, a Norm Smith medal and a premiership."
Holy Jesus....

If some team is offering a fair return, Melbourne are absolutely cooked not to let him go...Thatd be some salary dump
Christian doesnt want to move out of (metro) melbourne.Got a feeling Geelong are gonna pop up soon…
What a beat up is this Brand Petracca thing is lmao. Yeah I'm sure it's one of the things he is considering after he decided to leave.
Obviously something has changed in his thinking after the injury, and that's completely reasonable after what he went through.
We are really starting to see people's true colours.

I'm sure it's a complicated situation with lots of reasons. Such is life. The injury absolutely was the catalyst surprise anyone would dispute it.You keep saying it is the injury that led to his decision to leave without proof of that. In fact most sources suggest other reasons.
Some Melbourne supporters were saying yesterday that it was due to Oliver and how the club went light on him. Unless you are in the inner circle, you don’t know what is going on.
So next time someone hurts there finger should doctors err on the side of caution? Who defines where that line in the sand is? Is it documented anywhere? If not then how have the doctors breached anything?
What happens next time someone hurts an ankle? Or gets a cork? Are they also ruled out by medicos erring on side of caution?
Player says they are fine to continue and no evidence to suggest otherwise, but yeah let’s keep them off the field.
Will need benches of 10 going down that path and that’s if any medicos actually want to still work in the sport and run the risk of litigation.
The thing with posts like these is.....you're 95% sure they're taking the piss, but Bigfooty Trade threads being what they are, there's always a 5% part of you thinking "Holy shit, maybe they're actually serious"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.

There is no reason to not believe it eitherIt could very well be but I am not going to believe that until it comes out of Petracca’s mouth publicly.
One source stated he gave different reasons to the playing group, and the leadership group. No one know what he is thinking and I am no going to pretend to read his mind lol.

He wouldn't have to. It's possible to live in Melbourne and work in Geelong.
I mean they’ll probably talk about it on Midweek Tackle in 10 mins, but what’s this about
If you f@&k me half as good as you did the Dees in your trade scenario, I’ll consider it…Only when I’m lonely, which is most the time. Any chance I can get your number instead

Everyone needs capspace. It can do an increasing number of the things for list management and spending all that money on someone who seems like he's about to go nuclear on the place is silly. Make a huff and a puff about not trading him but keeping him in the end would just be ridiculous, how is it good for the club and players at the club?We don’t need cap space, that’s what it’s for, spending on our best players which what this is. I don’t see the issue.

Cap space is for your best players, which is what Trac is…don’t get people’s obsession with clearing up cap space when it comes to your best players. Thats what cap is for.
