Trade talk - from October 2025 (Part 10)

He also manages Vozzo too I think?

[need4speed]

Has Bont and Sam Darcy too. Safe to say they’re never leaving

[localbomber]

Makes no difference. Zero.

@saladin

what was a putrid, offensive shambles of an effort by Hawthorn to prise out a 6 time Crichton medallist

Engineered by the super coach Mitchell; with assistance from his media mates and Tommy P. Some of the smack Tom Potrero was pedalling yesterday could be described as classic gaslighting from an angry little spiv.

“in all my years in the industry, I have never seen a deal like this for a 30 year old”

Next minute, Petracca offer drops.

[Finding_Nino]

Pettracca gets traded for 2 picks inside 10 lols

I laughed when he said that

[Finding_Nino]

Really hope players steer clear of Hawks they can’t get deals done

@Odoyle

If I could ■■■■ into my own hands, then rub it together and it turned into a million dollars, would that be a win?

Of sorts

Probably not a moral victory, but let’s face it, I’d ■■■■ in my own mouth for a mil.

[Lawry]

[dingus]

@tassieiceman

Yeah lets be honest, the picks offered for Zac where ■■■■ and would not have improved our list that much i believe.

Both things can be true.

Their offer was definitely unders, but our list would have been improved.

Particularly when it matters in a few seasons.

Heard this a couple of times

Why does a CEO need an agent?

[redbull]

@evs

Interesting we’ve put Vozzo up on trade radio debrief this morning rather than Rosa. Pretty sure all other clubs have put their list manager on.

Other real clubs* didn’t exactly have an offer on the table for their captain. Makes sense given it was an exec level decision rather than a list manager only decision.

*Tin Rattlers don’t qualify as a real club

Wonder who told Tom Morris about Vozzo talking to Port Adelaide then….

[Duplicity]

I knew player managers could be slimy dogs but geez this saga with Petroro has really been illuminating

[Tagger]

Trying to think - surely others would know.

Have there been other instances of similarly public and messy trade requests, where the player has been refused a trade, and then has later re-signed?

[Crod]

The live text to Damo when he wasn’t getting his way was….something.

@dingus

yep, makes no sense

All you need is a stylist and a valet. Anyone else is just being elitist.

[Tagger]

This morning I think Barret said that Vozzo and Petero were good friends

I thought there’d be more talk about that. Isn’t that highly unprofessional and pretty well proves that he’s been leaking information?

As we at Essendon have learned very clearly over the part decade and a bit, being nominally friends in the footy business does not stop people screwing each other over ruthlessly.
