In stark contrast to what they received for Clayton Oliver, fellow Melbourne premiership hero Christian Petracca is leaving the Demons for a hefty haul of three first-round picks, according to AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey.

Petracca had officially requested a trade to the Suns weeks ago, but the two clubs only manufactured a deal in the final hours of the trade period.
It's believed there will be other picks included in the deal, with the Suns also needing draft capital to match bids on their academy selections.
Melbourne officially farewell two legends of the club, with Petracca and Oliver being dealt just minutes apart from each other.
