Nice positioning Fly. Make it known early that if GC want him the deal will have to be good.

The perfect answers by Fly in regards to Trac and Nobel.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Which is part of the reason why they are where they are, not playing to the strengths they have and instead of pointing the finger at their star studded midfield who have a penchant for bringing it in slow and bombing the ball long to contests.

I think there are plenty of other reasons why they are where they are. And it's not just on field.

 

[Markfs]

I wonder if Petracca out id actually possible? We need to fix midfield.

gary pert has always struck me as bribable...

 

[Silky23]

Anyone else get goosebumps watching Keane play on Joel Amartey earlier this year? 9 goals and given a bloodbath... not the good type of goosebumps either...

 

[Markfs]

God help us, madone.

shame i'm an atheist...

 

[Daicosian silk]

Do we trade Noble to Suns for Fiorini or Alex Davies? Or take an early 2nd rounder to use on a pick in the ND or move it on as part of a package for a trade like Barrass or the fifty other players the Pies are linked with?

We're not getting Barass. He's already nominated Hawks.

We ain't getting Barrass sadly. He will be heading to Hawthorn.

If it's a player, Davies would be the one to get.

Take the pick to the draft, given we don't have a pick before pick 30 currently

 

[Go Woods]

Code for, we'll be into him up to our eyeballs...

So am I, don't tell father.

I still revere the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Take that as you will.

Last time Fly spoke the truth he received a please explain for his troubles.

I just wish we could get green lighted by the media on trades, as easily as other clubs.

It is the media that creates BS trade rumours and once it takes hold they then attempt to tear it down. Ralph on Fox Footy on the weekend floated the Lynch trade and stated he would fit the Pies. It was then reported as fact despite Lynch stating he had no wish to play for a 3rd club. It was Ralph again who hypothesised that Rioli will seek a trade to GC. Being a Tiger supporter he sugested picks 6 & 13 would get the deal done. This BS also grew a life of its own. He is durable averaging 21 games a season but struggles to find his own ball. Herald Sun makes trade rumours for click bait. It really is the silly season

That crap salary cap management for the past 20 years has got us 2 premierships and 5 grand final appearances. Yet we're envious of Carlton for landing a big fish every couple of years and still failing miserably.

Stop refuting my irrational whinge about Carlton with blinding realism

 

[Pistol Night]

lucoshus has two years of $1m to go.... cant we just bring in josh Schache?

If you’d prefer a shit sandwich opposed to a fixable salad roll

I still revere the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Take that as you will.

Bruzza Maynard had a part in it.

Fiorini was a target a year or two ago on the provision that he would be cheap, and GCS wouldn't trade him for nothing. He's coming off a 12-game year for the Suns so I'd say he's not worth getting after, let alone a swap for Noble.

 

[Pistol Night]

I will be furious if a dumb arsed trade like this happens. Don't want Keane and Noble is way better.

I’m not keen on Keane

 

[Daicosian silk]

We're not getting Barass. He's already nominated Hawks.

Oops just read that after I posted. Maybe early second rounder with a future first and McInnes or McCreery for Petracca? Or 2 second rounders and a future first for Trac? Barrett is saying the Pies have no trade capital but the above shows that we do.

Christian Petracca could force a trade away from Melbourne via the AFL’s grievance tribunal​

Despite Melbourne categorically saying Christian Petracca is going nowhere, there’s a way the star Demon could force their hand. JON RALPH has the story.

AFL: Garry Lyon had a strong reaction to suggestions Christian Petracca could be traded for Harry McKay.
Christian Petracca has the option of forcing a trade from Melbourne through the AFL’s grievance tribunal as his teammates increasingly ponder life without their star match winner.
Petracca’s prolonged campaign to exit Melbourne continues, with 45 days until the end of the trade period and no end in sight as his resolve hardens to play elsewhere.
The Herald Sun can reveal there is a process through the AFL’s collective bargaining agreement where he could ask the AFL to step in to broker a trade through mediation if all attempts to convince the Demons he wants a new start fail.

He revealed his partner Bella was told by a doctor at 3am that morning that the brilliant Demons matchwinner might not pull through.
Melbourne believes it did nothing wrong in putting him back on the field despite four broken ribs and a lacerated spleen - and conducted a review into its own conduct - but Petracca remains aggrieved by their treatment.
The grievance tribunal is the nuclear option and has never been used before but is detailed in the AFL’s collective bargaining agreement.
The AFLPA is aware of the grievance tribunal, with some player agents in the league believing Petracca would have a case given the list of issues he has with the Demons.
The first option for Petracca would be opening up on his reasons for a trade - the club’s cultural issues, Clayton Oliver’s behaviour, the Josh Smith trafficking allegations - which could help force the club’s hand.
At a series of player gatherings across the weekend it was clear that players want more clarity over his future.
A series of Melbourne players met on Sunday night at the Botanical Hotel, with some now despairing at the damage being done to the club and aware that trading Petracca might be the right option.

The man widely thought to be the next captain of the football club has now done irreparable damage to his leadership aspirations.
The Melbourne star forward again asked for a trade in his exit meeting on Monday, but the Demons are adamant he is going nowhere given five years on a deal worth well over $6 million in salary obligations.
He is still processing the trauma of his injury, which put him in hospital for repeated stints but has also had a long-lasting aftermath as he comes to grips with returning to football.
He is not able to get his heartbeat up over 100 beats per minute for another month and will deal with trauma experts as he tries to work through his mental issues over a return to football.
While his camp might have hoped he could find his way to a power club like Carlton in a dal for Harry McKay that trade is not going to happen.
Carlton and McKay’s manager David Trotter on Tuesday made clear that McKay was off the table and would not be part of any discussion over Petracca’s future.
Petracca told an episode of the Howie Games podcast his partner Bella was called by a doctor while he was in hospital telling her how dire his predicament was at one stage.

Petracca broke four ribs, suffered a lacerated spleen and had a small puncture in his lung.
“This must have been 3am in the morning. I didn’t know at the time; I was drugged up,” Petracca told Mark Howard.
“Bella came to the ICU the next day and basically said that at three in the morning we got the number off the surgeon because he called to say you might not make it. He’s in critical condition. Because there was internal bleeding and everything. So (I was) in a serious and critical condition. For me, it was more that, that hit home rather than the actual injury itself. I’ll be fine physically and I’ll be able to train and get back to playing. It’s just more that piece; that the people around you feel it more than you.
“Even since then the last 6-7 weeks have been really tough on both of us. She’s been amazing for me since I first met her but just through this experience... I’ve got insomnia I feel like; to be honest, I can’t sleep.”

I’m guessing this is the “clause in his contract” that a poster recently said was being explored?

Not really a clause so much as an option provided in the CBA, but it would be nuclear (and hilarious to watch) for Melbourne if he goes down that path.

It could also seriously affect his trade value if clubs know that the AFL has directed Melbourne that they have to trade him, so they really wouldn’t want it to get to that point.

Could we trade a 4th rounder for a packet of corn chips and a tub of guacamole?

 

[Daicosian silk]

We ain't getting Barrass sadly. He will be heading to Hawthorn.

Will the Hawks want Battle as well as Barrass? Battle might be more gettable now that Barrass has nominated the Hawks

I can't imagine Dees going for that. Neither are the type of players they require anyway.

And I really wouldn't want to lose Beau. I'm also hoping Reef stays & we can develop him into a defender...or something
