Harry McKay's Experience with Trade Speculation

Carlton spearhead Harry McKay has expressed his sentiments regarding becoming the collateral damage in the trade rumors involving disgruntled Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca. Speculation surrounding Petracca's future hit a peak, despite his contract running until the end of 2029.

The Impact of Trade Rumors

While Petracca committed to remaining with the Demons, the talk surrounding a potential move to a major Victorian club stirred tension. McKay revealed during a podcast how unsettling the experience was. “It’s always a strange 48 hours or so when your name is raised in a situation like that,” he remarked.

  • McKay is contracted until the end of 2030.
  • He received numerous inquiries during the speculation.
  • Carlton reassured him they had no intentions of offloading him.

The culture at Carlton was noted as positive in this challenging time. “Everyone at the club was awesome,” McKay said. “It’s important for the industry to recognize the collateral damage that arises from hypothetical situations.”

Looking Forward

The 26-year-old forward aims to return from his quad injury in the upcoming elimination final against Brisbane at the Gabba.
