A REAL CRACK : Melbourne Demons speak out to address bombshell trade reports around………………..after a horror series of injuries.

The Melbourne Demons have issued a strong statement addressing recent trade rumors surrounding Christian Petracca, who is currently recovering from serious injuries. CEO Gary Pert reassured fans that the club has no intention of letting go of the star player, emphasizing Petracca’s integral role in the team’s future. Pert highlighted Petracca as a valued member of the club, not only for his on-field contributions but also for his leadership and character. The statement aims to quell speculation and reaffirm the club’s commitment to retaining Petracca for the entirety of his five-year contract.

“He has been an important member of our football program since he walked through the doors in 2014 and is contracted until the end of the 2029 season. He will remain in the red and blue until at least the end of his contract and hopefully beyond.”

The statement comes after Channel 9’s Tom Morris reported Petracca had become disenchanted with the direction the Demons were going in and that the premiership winner would seek a move away if he didn’t have five years left to run on his current deal. “Christian Petracca is disgruntled and particularly disillusioned with the club’s direction,” Morris reported.

“Petracca’s a pro, he’s desperate for another flag, but he has become increasingly unhappy in the wake of his season-ending spleen injury. His disenchantment — which is not directed at the coach (Simon Goodwin), it must be said — has now become so palpable that if he was out of contract, the four-time All-Australian would likely ask for a trade tomorrow.”
