He also had a meeting with McVee, who promptly left that meeting and requested a trade to Fremantle.

Sure they pushed May out the door because he's a deadset arseh*le and a cancer within any club, Oliver has had major major personal issues including shatting on a true great of the club Max Gawn. I fail to see where they're pushing Petracca out the door given he's the one that has instigated the move both last season and this current season.

Shatting....haven't heard that term before!
They could have easily said "No Christian, you're not going anywhere"

That was also 10 years ago and we've since learnt he only told Phil Walsh, so maybe others at the club truly thought he would be staying. He's not posting anything outlandish about how we are guaranteed to get Petracca, just giving us info on what happened during our pitch to him, what is wrong with that? It's a rumours thread, I don't get this attacking of people supplying them

Sholl has AFL traits that will work in the right team. Runs all day, 2 sided player with great footskills and vision, has no problem finding the footy. Just a textbook outside mid style player.
I'd not be at all surprised if he finds a suitor, and plays round 1 next season. I would be surprised if he played round 1 in our side though.

McVee already had a foot out the door though
It seems McVee's vision of his future never aligned with the club

Oliver thought he was just letting out a quiet fart when out for dinner with Gawn last year and instead let out a shart, which promptly caused major embarassment for Gawn and he stormed out in disgust.
Wishful thinking. But Adelaide is hardly home. He's spent far more time in Brisbane and NT to call Adelaide "home".

Cracking story. Not sure why Gawn would be embarassed though

Yep, Petracca has some very legitimate grievances, he wanted out last year.
I think Melbourne thought they could fix it but obviously haven’t, and probably realise they are headed for a mini rebuild and it doesn’t make sense to keep a 30 year old on a big contract who doesn’t want to be there.
The commentary from some Melbourne posters around him is pretty gross. He nearly died and the club left him out to dry, I think he’s entitled to be aggrieved and want to look elsewhere.

What's the latest with the AFL introducing official salary dump trades?
Initially I was thinking Melbourne didn't need to clear cap space, but maybe they do.
If they clear Petracca and Oliver they'll be in a good position next year to take on other clubs cap space for picks.

Yeah I hate the thought of training and playing there.
In terms of Footy weather, Adelaide is probably Australia's sweet spot.
Winters not too cold. Not a lot of rain.
WTF is wrong with you? Do you really struggle to determine which posters have credibility and don’t need to make shit up.
Just because you have no credible inside source doesn’t mean everyone is as bereft of info. Numb nut posters here hounded some previous good sources of intel and just wonder what insecurities motivate you to do so.
I would also look at entertaining the fact of getting Elijah Hollands. I understand that’s he’s had off field issues, but he’d have a free hit and only 23.

So if we get Oliver and Hollands - is it welcome to the crows behavioural correctional facility?

VB will leave the club in disgust. Hopefully anyway.
Agree on May
Oliver's best is past him and the game has changed. He has five years left on a big contract and every year his value is going down. They should of taken our offer two years ago or Geelong's last year.
Petracca still offers alot but again the game is slowly passing him and four years is a long time on big money. Like Oliver his value is going to keep decreasing.
I think they want a clean start and for different reasons they all carry baggage and now represent a past era in some way.
I think they doing are doing the right thing, sometimes everyone needs a change and they can continue to rejuvenate their list.
It's the reason Tex shouldn't be going on with us. It's a workplace after all, sometimes there needs to be change for everyone to move forward and get the best out of everyone. Doesn't mean they are not club legends.
The fact we have been working on the Petracca trade for months and he is 50/50 on his decision means he's going to Gold Coast. Maybe a good thing as Petracca seems passed it to me.
Giving Tex another year is peak AFC. Ridiculous. They will roll him out to sit in the goal square i guess.

Plus Damien Hardwick, proven Premiership winning coach and they just won their first Final.
I like to think Petracca's choice will come down to where he thinks he best fits into the team and chances of success.
If his choice is surfing v Cafe cooking culture and that is a priority....I don't want him anyway.
But I think he is more interested in the Football choice over lifestyle. He ain't Orazio Fantasia.
Which concerns me.
Please leave VB
