Petracca signs until the end of 2029

[deedog2]

$2.2 million ?

Questioning if Williams is worth $800,000 a year then Petracca should per annum be worth.... probably double that

So his 'worth' is probably 10 mil over 7 years

 

[dylan93]

He wasn't even the type of player Pies need.

They need a key forward.

 

[Outtatym]

Good deal for both sides I reckon.
Gun player, quality human.
Met him personally a few years ago at our local cricket club (yes cricket). We had a 13-14 year old kid- mad dees supporter- struck down with a brain tumor. First night back at training after surgery and recovery Christian came down and spent the evening with him, watching him train, giving banter and lots of laughs, bowling and batting to him, a kick of the footy after training and staying on for dinner at the club along with calling a few times over the next 12 months to see how things were going.
No doubt every club has player's doing this sort of stuff but we don't hear enough of it.
Ripping bloke and the Dees have a great ambassador.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Great deal for both.

Dees basically get 2 years free as he easily could’ve got 6 years $6,000,000.

Trac locks in 6mil even if he gets injured, set for life.

Pies need whatever they can get tbh.

We need a new list. Petracca wasn't going to dig us out of the deep hole we are in.

 

[Breretonisahood]

Due to Franklin's situation?

I see your point but he will most likely end up (injury permitting) our greatest since Flower and if wins a Flag since Barassi, it also sends a statement to other players.

Reminds me of Barassi. Solidly built, goal-kicking midfielder who seems to be a barometer for the Dees. Not at Barassi levels yet, but who knows how good he can be.

Imagine the amount of pasta he’ll buy

Hi Brodie!

 

[Luv_our_club]

We should all call Connors something like a Terminator with his futuristic deals- amirighthguys?

 

[Sttew]

You have to feel for Collingwood....not!

They were convinced he would sign with the Pies

 

[Sttew]

I’m sure we will get him in 2030.

To replace Danger?

 

[Blackas87]

I’m going to to be worried when Collingwood start clearing salary during the 2027 trade period.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Imagine the amount of pasta he’ll buy

Nothing beats Nonnas pasta

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Agree, I'd suggest that they are paying him 8 years and hoping for about 6 good ones, and the Dees have probably budgeted on paying for a player not on the field in his last couple of years to get him at he's peak.

I've only seen one exception to a team getting the better end of a long term contract, and that was Alister Lynch.

Worked out pretty well for the Tigers and Dusty - even if Dusty never plays another good game I doubt they’d regret that deal, which was signed before the 2017 finals series

 

[markm106]

Could certainly argue a 5 year extension would have been enough. But negotiations obviously got us to 7. I’m not complaining. To be honest he’ll play into his last year easily barring some bad luck with injury. Jones is 33 and getting a game. I’d say Petracca will be a handy forward/mid at 33.

Handy med substitute too

 

[Foxx]

Good on him. Basically just won tattslotto. Sets him up for life.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Seeing these kinds of deals more often: Coniglio, Grundy, (Treloar?) etc. Reckon Kelly will end up signing for a similar length of time, but huge potential to go pear-shaped if Petracca cops a long-term injury. He's not signing for a million per year though.

Edmunds reckons it's over a million per year.

What something is worth isn't the same as what it costs.

 

[Bluelegs]

Edmunds reckons it's over a million per year.

I'd like to see another journo go with that. He's the only one at this stage.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Good luck to him, he’s been great to watch. I hope he has a long stellar career.

Were they?

Has anyone from Collingwood said they were very keen? Or just media speculation and trade rumours on BF ?
