He probably shouldn't have signed a seven year contract then, stupid campaigner that he is.
Dee for life.

The old "**** you by ****ing me" approach, it's a bold move Cotton...
There is a difference between someone busting a gut and winning individual awards left and right to someone disgruntled, distracting the group and wanting out taking up 1.2m+.
Think about if in 12 months time Christian still despises the place, performance has dropped and on 1.5m. It would be bordering on a salary dump case.
Your club has to way this up no matter what you think. Back themselves in and live by the sword or cut their loses and get the max that they prob can.
Thats 12 months away, same could be said about Daicos. If something pisses him off it could be the same. Or any other player on 1m+ for the matter.

Grundy went for third and future second and he is not broken goods.
Trac is broken in all areas and no one is sure whether he will normalise and how long it will take.
He has created a toxic environment at Melbourne due to almost losing his life due to lack of duty of care and I personally dont think Trac will play for Melbourne ever again.
He is broken in more ways than one and anyone that takes him also takes alot of baggage

First let me say that I don’t like players signing long contracts and then trying to get out of them. Yes, I’m aware some unforeseen circumstances arise but it reeks of the player wanting the long term security knowing they can leave whenever. Have their cake and eat it too kind of thing. I’m not necessarily talking Petracca here. Players have too much power. And that leads me to the next bit..
This isn’t how trading works. It’s never really a bidding war as essentially a player nominates a club and the relevant parties (original club, nominated club, and player agent) hash out a deal. This argument comes up every year and the player 99% of the time gets to the club they nominate. Clubs can’t ship a player off to a team without the consent of the player. Whether they should be able to like in other sports is a whole other debate. I have no doubt Petracca will nominate a club after finals and the only reason he hasn’t already is he’s obviously got a club in the finals in mind as his choice, whoever that may be. Melbourne will either:
a) agree to a trade with that club
b) hold Petracca for another year and try to fix the issues
If he’s actually considering the grievance council (which could be total journalistic BS) and if he has legitimate grounds to do so, then Melbourne will be forced into trading. I just don’t understand how it’s all become so messy.

Part of that is true players cant have it both ways.
Trac wanted the security well he got it club has invested significantly in him.
Maybe but as of now Collingwood has their highest paid player low odds for the Brownlow while yours is trying his hardest to hit the road.
There is a small chance that having someone on 1.5m after giving up on the club for a year has potential to destroy your club. Let hope your head office make the right decision.
Daicos is on less than a million. Not too much less but he signed early when 1 million was still close to maximum wage.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Probably somewhere between
Dees backroom staff sending Trac back out; and
Trac's better half being told at 3am he might be toast.

I hope Dees stand firm and keep him.
Completely explains why he wants to move to a club with big crowds for his brand.
Found Garry Lyon's Bigfooty account at least
Either way I simply don't see a way he gets to Collingwood. I mean a contracted Trac is worth a large haul which Collingwood simply do not have. Carlton won't have players willing to go nor will they want to give up any of their top 6 players. There could be a mega trade that will possibly unlock it, but the Dees hold the upper hand with a 5 year contract. To fight negligence will be a long and ugly path Trac won't want to take. If he truly just wants out, then Richmond and maybe Essendon hold some interesting pieces that could potentially satisfy. Gold Coast definitely do and I can see Hardwick getting in his ear at some point. I doubt he'll move away from Vic though but their high picks and talented list might come into play. I'm sure Dees are looking for a couple of top 10 picks(possibly one top 5) plus a player. And I think that's fair for a consistently top 10 player in the comp, some would argue top 3 that rarely(besides this one injury) gets injured and is in his prime.
From a Dees supporters POV, I'm confident the club will try and get a deal. But it will have to be a bloody good deal. I mean the McKay for Trac talk was rubbish. If it came with a top 5 pick then I'm sure the Dees would take it. But clubs haven't had the time to plan for this so it will rule out a lot of clubs unfortunately for Petracca. Money wise it's a hell of a lot to take on. I think 1.7mil at the pointy end. And clubs haven't planned for the picks to trade.
He is well past his prime. He is not 25-26. Next year he will be 29 in January.
Coming off a serious injury after almost dying. Who knows what he has left in the tank.

Sorry, are you saying that you reckon it would take McKay + a top 5 pick + up to 1.7m a year for a 29 yo dude whose feeling litigious and cant get his heartrate above 100bpm atm?
Melb media are vicious.
Trac has trauma and melb nearly killed him is the headline. As well as caused wife to suffer from trauma/ptsd
None of this flags/crowds/brand nonsense should be a headline. Vicious melb camp. You literally nearly killed an afl footballer.
WCE are the perfect club for trac.
1. We have world class facilities
2. We have the most money so we can hire an elite medical team
3. Takes him away from melb circus/fishbowl and aids him with trauma recovery. If he gets traded to rival melb club then circus continues
4. Big crowds (big selling point)
5. Beaches for his tiktok
6. I think him wanting flags is nonsense melb camp hit piece
Trac will use the nuclear option and come to wce for unders

Hungry Jacks won't be on brand for his cooking channel though
Once again that vicious comment is straight from Melbourne footy club. Minimising them nearly killing trac.
A lawsuit from trac to his club would almost lead to him winning in the end.

Thats fair and i would hope so too but not all players are as selfless and ethical as cripps is.

Common sense club outcome to seek. He wants out of Dees for reason, he doesn't want out for money or playing time.
He's not going to go "hurrr durr I want to move club, but let's go to North or St Kilda and never play a final again in front of 15k fans"

The chance of petracca wanting to live in WA is zero.
