If Draper, he's a Freo NGA player unfortunately. Freo have a boatload of talls

Bloody academies.

Our recruiters are going to have to be good over the next decade or so, as well as the Northern academies, those WA NGA zones will be gold mines now that those wealthy clubs are insentivized to invest in them. Two clubs have priority access to every indigenous kid in WA and a much higher ratio of those qualifying due to having overseas born parents.

Geez there’s a bit goin on. Can’t keep petrak of it…

 

[Apex36]

Kozzie has been trying to leave Melbourne for a while. He even tried to get to us twice

Didn’t he only re-sign with them for 4 years last year? Seems far fetched that he’d agree to a long term deal if he’s been trying to leave for a while…

 

[VinnieB]

A strange comment, doesn't that depend on what the return is? And how many clubs with good father/sons coming up have hung onto their first round picks? With the current rules that number is zero, why is that?

Sorry you didn’t quite get my post.

You've got to remember some of these guys are signing as long as possible to secure their lives; job security, mortgages, etc.

Not everyone will love everything about their club or the city it's in.

But anyway, in all seriousness... at this point Melbourne may as well just merge with St Kilda and be done with it.

Yes, but those guys aren’t as in demand as an out of contract Pickett was. Pretty much any club in the league would have welcomed him with open arms last year had he chosen not to re-sign, so the point you’ve tried to make here is for all intents and purposes, moot.

I think you are duty bound to post this on the Dees board. They won't have heard of Derrimut. Unless one of them has a dad who owns a factory out there.

After seeing this rumour I saw a news ticker that a 28yo man received fatal injuries in Derrimut, last seen meeting four other men.

(Sad, but might have been the origin of the joke. Safe to assume Moore didn't take Book Week too far playing Shiva from Midnight's Children, crushing people with his knees...)

It was reported on Fox that Kosi Pickett has requested a trade citing homesickness

On SM-N975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

"family reasons" seems the trade equivalent of "it's not you, it's me"

Trac should have said "family reasons" instead of Brand.
Doesn't need to be travel related, perhaps his family just hates Melb FC?

Or perhaps his injuries mean he can't face car travel, so can only live in the suburbs of Carlton or Collingwood...

Tom Morris is more obsessed with the Petracca story than even I am. And that's a lot.

 

[Jen2310]

kozzie is known to love melb the club which is what has kept him here, not overly keen on melb the city.

He should have gone with:

The colour red and it's association with blood triggers his injury trauma - so he can't wear red anymore.

or blue

 

[sr36]

or blue

Yep - the bruising was very blue and traumatic. Can't wear blue

The injury created some short term toilet issues too - rules out brown.

Us and Richmond are the only jumpers that he can wear - and Richmond just want to have all the draft picks in the world rather than players - so it's us.

 

[Bramax]

I can just see it.

Once Carlton get busted out of finals they are pushing McKay out the door.

McKay won’t be leaving.

Instead of trying to look for a new forward. Maybe they should expose the one they drafted in the first round a couple years ago, Matthew Jefferson.

Jeffo has been a bit average this year but still has time

Do you honestly think that Petracca actually gave his ‘brand’ as a reason for wanting to leave to the club on his exit meeting? That’s 100% a reason manufactured and then leaked by Melbourne in order to try to give themselves some moral high ground.

“I almost died” is not a good enough reason to want to leave a football club according to some people.

I think their problem is the midfield rather than the forward line. The midfield probably has the worst delivery in the game. Guys like Oliver, Petracca etc just seem to boot it into the forward line with no real system.

Not sure if it’s the way they are coached or whether they don’t have the smartest players.

yeah, pressure is always up the ground. Like with us. You shoudn't blame the forward or defence, when its the midfield that lets you down.

No, I don't. Just thought the joke worked better that way, but clearly not.
Didn't expect fact checking on jokes!

Did he almost die though?, I know someone who lost their spleen in a car accident as well as smashing his ribcage and he is living life like it never happened

I think his partner said she was told he might die? Could be misremembering

 

[thommo_legend]

Kate Roffey's interview on SEN was a car crash. No way Petracca is going back.
