Player Watch #5 Christian Petracca - 2020 Best & Fairest, All Australian

[GatesOfHell]

Lmao only a dumb campaigner would actually think this could happen

I wouldn’t be taking anything for granted. We aren’t Geelong.

These guys (CP5 & Clarry) are coming into their prime and need September action to cement their playing status/legacy. It’s on us now to give them every indication that Melbourne is the joint where they will achieve that.

3-0 is a great start but it doesn’t erase 2019 and 2020. Continue to make winning a habit and they’ll stay.

Yeah nah.

 

[GatesOfHell]

Yeah nah.

Yeah yes.

You reckon the MFC aren’t capable of shitting the bed? Naive.

 

[The Dr]

Yeah nah.

Are you trying to suggest it’s rare for a gun Victorian player to leave to another Victorian club?

Mate if you wanna worry yourself about Trac going to Collingwood go nuts. Not a ******* hope in hell.
That article is literally Tony Shaw picking a bloke who barracked for Collingwood who's good, there's more substance in the food at a soup kitchen

You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think Tony Shaw’s mail is just the tip of the iceberg around the AFL. Until these two guns sign up for 3+ years and put any speculation to bed these big clubs will come hard and come often for them.

I don’t want to hear any more about two year extensions to ‘stay hungry’ or to keep options open to ‘test free agency’. We need Tracc and Clarry - our two best players - to genuinely commit their futures to the MFC. It would be a huge fillip for the club and our premiership aspirations.

Don't lie

It’s started. The noise will continue and grow louder from here on in until such time as he inks paper with us well beyond 2022. Clarry as well. All the usual suspects - Pies, Hawks, Cats, Blues - will be sniffing around.

Play finals this year and maintain a happy club environment and we’re every chance to retain them. Both would be worth $1m/season on the open market.

Seriously , if he stays or goes it is literally out of our control . Does anyone here know of any stuff ups with contract renewals over the last couple of seasons ?
I think the club has quietly gone about the business of contracts quite well .

So why would he go to a team on the decline that has just shown their administration is dysfunctional and the contracts they give players means jack sh*t?

Oliver & 23

for

Merrett & 6

... would be a fair trade between Dees and Bombers.

Harry McKay & Pick 7 gets you Oliver I’m told.

Supporters from both clubs don’t like this deal which is an indication it’s probably bang on the money.

A lot to play out before it happens or doesn’t though.

clearly found the winner

 

[Bluelegs]

Devastating Boris is any of this true?

 

[schmuttt]

Every club worth their salt would ask Petracca the question, considering he is OOC end of next year and is a free agent then I doubt we see any movement for a while.

Pretty much this. You know managers will be telling players don’t become the next Treloar.

He's gonna be restricted anyway

 

[Dory_77]

He's gonna be restricted anyway

Won't deter many clubs I imagine. If they're genuinely keen they'll find the cash and trade currency. As schmuttt said it'd be silly to think there aren't clubs hitting up his manager about it, I'd hope we're also on the phone to Merrett's manager, etc. If you don't ask you won't know if you're a chance.
