They're fighting a lot for someone they havent even offered a contract for.

Those lawyers tonight probably cost the same as one year of his salary he's playing for free next year.

So the flog that threw the bottle at the goal umpire Sunday has been confirmed as a Carlton supporter. Another black mark against a tragic football club.

To be fair, he was aiming for Owies…

When Carlton engages a lawyer anything is possible

 

[Chameleon75]

So carlton argued he should get off because he’s a top bloke, and the afl argued it should stand on grounds of a punchable head. Sounds about right.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Seriously Caro

Ouch, not one of Caro’s finer moments.

Imagine if someone had said “… but they’ve got boobs, you reckon they can coach if they’ve got boobs? I don’t see any other coaches with boobs?” ? …

… no doubt that would make Caro go thermonuclear.

 

[76woodenspooners]

In all seriousness this flogs needs to be dealt with severely. We don’t want to get to the point where the ground has high fences around it like other parts of the world.

As a starting point, one of our supporters got handed a 12 month ban (six months suspended) for a friendly rubbing of a player on the head.

Piffing a water bottle at an umpire and drawing blood is going to be a lot longer than that

Was only a few weeks ago an Essendon idiot threw something onto the ground after Gold Coast rolled them after the siren. Shit behaviour

Shit behaviour indeed, tossing trash on the ground. Here’s the video of it …

To be fair, I’m not comfortable either about a player wanting to move clubs so they can maximise their off-field earnings.

Petracca clearly has a rubbish player manager if that’s the standard of stuff he’s leaking to the media.

Man charged after AFL umpire hit by bottle in Melbourne

Life ban at minimal then put him to work with a lengthy community service duty

it’s not a leak it’s a fabrication. It achieves two things, recasts Petracca from victim to villain and shifts the narrative away from Melbourne’s injury management.

More likely Melbourne leaking it. Read like a pieced together list of things he said at his exit interview.

Yeah, fair call.

I guess if the player from the depths of their soul really wants out, it’s fair that they would reach for reasons that the club can’t change (eg: not a big club)

Stewie Dew has proved that you can't coach if you've got boobs.

If he can’t hit a head like that he deserves a ban.

 

[jimmy35]

Trac will have some mental hurdles to overcome, hopefully he gets back to being the bull he was.

at the end of last season as had been suggested at the time, they might be in a much better position today.

It could be called the Clayton’s trade. The trade you make when you don’t make a trade.

And you can totally see how that happened …

(1) Melbourne try to play tough by reading Oliver the riot act in his end of year meeting and ask him why they shouldn’t trade him …

(2) Oliver tells his manager that Melbourne are thinking of trading him.

(3) Oliver’s manager leaks to the media that Melbourne are thinking of trading Oliver

(4) Other clubs fall over themselves to enquire about Oliver’s availability.

(5) Melbourne forced to backtrack - oops.

His fiance is his social media manager. And a lawyer.

And who knows whether that's what Petracca even said or meant. It's grubby journo's & commentators pushing this Brand Petracca stuff out there.

He doesn't want to leave the Dees because of his social media stuff

they’re facing the same issue in a way. Trading players of that caliber usually starts a year out if not earlier, it gives time for suitors to clear cap space and accumulate trade capital. Doing it at the last minute will never see them get full value.
