Yes he is a legit brand but the AFL love the word at the moment so use it at every chance, a bit like the idiotic “ a world record” with statistics a few years ago.

Re: It's all falling apart for the Dees
So basically does that mean Trac's manager has told him that getting a trade done to satisfy Melbourne would be impossible, so he's had no choice but to stay? That's my gut feel.

I don't know. After what he went through, if he felt the dees did him wrong, he wouldn't just get over it so easily. It's an interesting turn of events.

Re: It's all falling apart for the Dees
Too damaging to “Brand Petracca” to move maybe.
Ah well.
Until the next Melbourne headline…
Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

They handed him a brown paper bag under the table to make him feel better.

It’s either culture or finances isn’t it? And they (theoretically) can’t be solved by one another.
I’m not putting this to bed. Reckon he still goes.

Re: It's all falling apart for the Dees
An article today had brand management industry people saying he'll lose as many fans as he gains when switching to a bigger club.
Maybe that's advice he received Thursday after he was right of reply checked before the article went to print yesterday.
He'll only go so far if he puts the red wine in after the tomatoes in a Bolognese, no matter what he decides. I'm just annoyed the fun's over for now.
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

It would have been great if a bunch of our rivals were distracted away from any other potential players by going all in trying to get him.

Re: It's all falling apart for the Dees
So was it all a media beat up and now he has put out a statement saying he isn’t going anywhere the media look like idiots and need to make a story to save face ?
Media were huge on Naughton , English and Jamara going at the start of the year, slowly they got signed and all these clowns move on to another made up story.

Whether our players or others I'm happy seeing more players remaining loyal (Petracca and Melbourne aside). The NBA is starting to see young stars remain loyal to smaller markets (by nba standards). Seems the generation of LeBrons and Durants is cooling.

It sounds like the club absolutely did the wrong by him, so many aspects, even the Pres had not been in contact with player or his family what so ever since his life threatening injury, that's just shithouse! That said Christian by the sounds of things also came across with a lack of maturity during this time, some very weird takings from both sides.
I have no doubt if the Pies had two top 10 picks to have in their kit bag he'd be playing for them next year.
