The Melbourne Football Club this week secured Christian Petracca to a monster seven-year deal which has attracted plenty of discussion.
Kane Cornes believes the Demons may have pulled the trigger a little early on the mega contract for the 25-year-old, despite the fact he is playing the best footy of his career in 2021.
The deal is reported to be more than $1 million with SENâs Sam Edmund reporting as such.
WE have underplayed the Christian Petracca contract. It s a seven-year contract to stay at Melbourne, but it is worth more than $1 million a season. It s a monster deal through to 2029. Sam Edmund (@Sammy Edmund) May 5, 2021

My Norwegian grandpa, John, was a sailor. He was 19 when he met my maternal grandmother, Ellen, in New Zealand, where he took up work on her father’s Danish ship.
They fell in love, but back then it was deemed unacceptable for a sailor and a captain’s daughter to be dating. So they sailed on to Australia, where they decamped and got married.
