Why isn't Petracca expanding his brand by coming out and speaking publicly?

I guess he will once this situation is sorted.
I live under a rock cos I didn't think he had a brand presence aside from Crime Converters

I think he is going to go full nuclear on the club. It’s straight out of the Connors playbook. Collingwood will end up getting him for a packet of burger rings

Petracca has done Howie Games
Might be some clues in there

Petracca has done Howie Games
Might be some clues in there

Have you listened to it? That was released yesterday, it was a part of the Howie Games Artist Series and he had on Petracca (for his cooking), Izak Rankine (music) and Cody Weightman (visual art) all together as the guys used it as a plug for Weightman's 'Beyond the Game' exhibition. It was recorded a little while ago from what I can gather but post Petracca's injury. It was a very good listen.

Yes you're living under a rock, his cooking channel, on.Trac5 on Instagram (and Tik Tok) has taken off, you can get some great recipes off it.

Definitely an increased brand presence.....he pops up on various social feeds occasionally telling me where the good places are to eat in Melbourne and also some dishes he likes to cook himself at home.... i'm yet to be influenced by him.

I wasn't aware of his insta channel and tik tok I don't have.

Riley Bonner delisted by St Kilda. Played 19 games this season

Real weird one that.....

Cant help but feel maybe something behind the scenes was going on. Not sure how you go from being in the best 22 for 19 games and then not worthy of a spot in the 50+ squad. Maybe being 27 years old hasn't helped but surprised by this one.

Jack Hayes not delisted as yet either. Almost certain he will be part of a trade to the Crows.

Don’t think the Crows and probably anyone else would trade for Hayes.

29 next season and has been plagued with injury .Too big of a gamble.

Fingers crossed they dont.

Christian Petracca is employed by the Melbourne football club to play football and on very good coin.
I couldn't care less about his brand or whatever.
Mate you signed a contract, harden the **** up mummy's boy and see out your contract.
Dunstall and Hird had massive head injuries that could've been life threatening but they never sooked it.

Great player, no doubt, and if by some miracle we got him at the pies I'd take it. But we don't really need him.
Similar player to DeGoey, most would say better than, but if he's going to sook it when he cops a nasty injury then he's too high maintenance for us.

I'm starting to think long term contracts carry the kiss of death.
Apart from Buddy all the other long termers (Treloar,Grundy etc) have all been offloaded.

Certainly starting to look that way with the long contracts 2 to 3 years in and it is all over , like you said Buddy looks like the exception

Players have too much control.
If I was a Melbourne fan I'd hope they get overs in any potential trade or just make him stay

Seb Ross desisted.

[tigerpie]

Seb Ross desisted.

Did he cease first ?

Liam Baker tells Richmond he wants back to WA.

GWS forward Brent Daniels signs to 2031.

Where and when has Petracca sooked and been a mummy's boy? As far as I knew he's been silent about all this and copped criticism because he has been silent and not said anything publicly about his contract?

Petracca was sent back onto the field with injuries that 12 hours later caused ICU staff to call his fiance to tell her he may not make it through the surgery.

Rightly, Petracca has questioned how he was handled.

Tigerpie asserts that makes him a Mummies boy. True.

Like I said a few pages back, it's just a vibe he gives off.
He could of said no when asked if he could continue. That's on him.
If he said no I'm not right then there's no way the doc is letting him back on field.
Yes it was a bad prang but just recover get around your TEAM and move on.
Others have lost kidneys, split spleens and fractured skulls etc but just processed it and moved on.

If he wants out because of his brand being tarnished,what does that tell you?
Why is he punishing the club that got him a brownlow and a flag?
Just seems extremely self centered for mine.

Sorry I should of specified, I meant about his contract where Tigerpie suggested that he's a mummys boy and should see out his contract, not his injury. I don't think Petracca has said anything about his contract but maybe Tigerpie has seen/read something about it?

You're going by vibe? Lol
Let's see what happens, you'd like to think he will say something soon about all this.
