The Tigers participant’s administration has denied he’s requested a commerce, and the Demons are insisting Petracca will keep at their membership – however Cornes isn’t completely happy on the variety of gamers who’re reportedly looking for to get out of contracts, whereas on the similar time, he says golf equipment are sure to them.
“It’s farcical the quantity of gamers, Tom Barrass for instance who goes, ‘I’ve bought three years left, I used to be completely happy to signal this contract a yr or so in the past, however now I would like out to go and be part of the horny Hawks as a result of it’s not going to be nice at West Coast for the subsequent 3-4 years – I’m out’.

“That is mindless to me, so after getting signed for a sure size and over a certain quantity, no matter that’s, the AFL must mandate that the golf equipment have extra management on participant trades.
“So, it’s not simply Christian Petracca saying I’d wish to discover going some other place regardless that I’ve 5 years to run, a membership ought to have the ability to say issues have modified and we are actually going to ship you there. I simply assume there must be extra steadiness.”

“There’s most likely some household causes behind it, however absolutely he may have seen some household circumstances when he signed a long-term deal.
“He’s not the one participant doing it, and it’s changing into extra widespread. Golf equipment haven’t any energy and normally whenever you declare you need out, you’ll get out.
“There must be criticism over participant brokers who’re completely happy to encourage their gamers to signal long-term, and are actually advising them out.”
