Christian Petracca breaks silence with statement on future

The Melbourne superstar has spoken for the first time since trade reports circulated.

7news.com.au

Not sure its end game yet.

So Pert acknowledges difficult discussions were had.

That would appear to conflict with the "we have a great culture" at MFC spin.

 

[Kes1984]

Hopefully this week Blues and Hawks are eliminated.

That’s my dream

Pert says MFC is now "aligned".....

Code for there's a bunch of different views we can't reconcile

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

That’s my dream

Both to lose by a kick after the siren.
Esp Hawks, their arrogance to come down a peg, reality check.

And it’s happened so quickly too. Almost overnight!

Amazing club Melbourne, to bring everyone together again in a giant group hug.

I think the g is silent.

 

[NMBB]

I think the g is silent.

Or typo, should be - "maligned"?

 

[JoinDate]

So glad Pert isn't at our club anymore.

Maybe he means "alight", and the place is burning down.

.... until next time Dees!

Agree wholeheartedly - however I fear they will be right up there next year - setting myself a personal challenge not to let Hawthorn get under my skin over summer.. .

Unfortunately can see them very hard to beat next year- their Vets, up n comers. Then add in Barrass and Battle down back.

 

[Jafo]

So glad Pert isn't at our club anymore.

One more parking spot available.

 

[3rdMan]

There's always next year when we have the salary cap space.

Not easy tho. Any team who wants to make a play for him in the next year or two need to 1) get him to commit 2) keep cap space available 3) get Melbourne to agree to a trade.

A club could do the first two only for Dees to again refuse to trade. Does a club hold off on other targets while chasing Petracca? Most big deals are agreed up to a year out. If we have cap space, we can't be distracted with the possibility of Petracca, we need to be chasing more certain targets. That may then rule us out from Petracca should he again want out and Dees agree to move him, but that's life.

Reckon we'd keep an eye on this, but wouldn't be making any firm plans around a possible Petracca deal. The difficulty of forward planning for a deal will make his exit difficult.

So glad we didn't pick him last year.

I remember him kicking 40-50 goals a year for Port as a 20 year-old and thinking he'd be anything. Never happened

 

[Jafo]

Looks like there’s going to be some very well payed players soon. Andrew Mac apparently set to be offered $12 million over 8yrs (GC).

Wingard should have become a superstar, halfway between Didak and Rankin.

His best footy was fantastic.
He clearly realised he would struggle to get a game at Hawthorn next year.
Achilles injuries are bastards.

Career opportunity for J Stephenson post footy to freelance consult: "How to get traded in 10 days".

Can't do a Bootsma, but might get away with a Stringer? Leave an undercooked eclaire in Gawn's locker?

Needs to do worse than Oliver to get it done...

Good luck to him but that's a ridiculous contract.

I wouldn’t have minded a one-off trial of wildcard round this year.

Could you imagine the whining from oppo supporters?

AFL will do anything to get Pies in the finals

Isnt there rumours his off field is pretty average
