Non Lions Discussion 2024

One of the few times I agree with Barrett. It’s also in players contracts that events such as B&F attendance is mandatory.

I get what happened to Petracca but it’s getting to the self entitled stage with him that he’s thrown the toys out of the cot because he knows no club could facilitate a trade.

I also reckon he’s deliberately creating a situation between now and end of next season that he’ll turn everything into a circus, much like Aka’s final season with us, so Melbourne will be forced to move him on even at a loss. Or the club will pander to HIS BS and move on everyone Precious Petracca says to.

Everything about Pertracca stinks and the fact he’s said and I even have the unfortunate knowledge of now knowing that “my girlfriend Bella who is a lawyer” like a junior lawyer has this weight behind her is of importance is a joke.

Yes I'm sure the high priced Melbourne legal team are shaking in their shoes.

This is what I hate about Barrett. Once he doesn't like something, it's like a never-ending axe grinding against that player or club. He'll keep going even next season and keep extrapolating back to "Brand Petracca" even if Petracca sneezes down the track. Horrible journalism.

Purple is a bottom feeding higher than mighty journalist who has absolutely no idea about the personal ramifications of the damage done to Petracca as a result of his life-threatening injury. Like a clock that gets the right time twice a day, every now and then he reads the room correctly but mostly he just pontificates like the w*anker he is. Sadly, the AFL is riddled with some goddam ordinary click bait journalists.

Even if everyone moves on, he'll build a long bow argument against Petracca if god forbid anything negative comes up against Melbourne early next year. He's like a dog with the bone now, he's latched on to it and his jaw is now locked - doesn't know how to let go.

Some actual empathy from the media for the trauma that Petracca endured would be nice. The whole brand Petracca thing is specious IMO.

But Christian himself has referred to it on multiple occasions
