I'm at the draft camp now having a look and wow Petracca is a unit! Has that big backside big leg look and looks very sharp. I'd put some photos up but feel like a creep taking them

Taking pictures of Petracca's backside would be very creepy indeed deeko. Unless of course, he goes to the Saints, where nude selfies are club policy.

Better look elsewhere this kid cant last 3 k :rolleyes:

With one lap to go in the 3km time trial, Christian Petracca has pulled out. Looks to be limping a bit #DraftCombine

Because he's injured and couldn't finish a 3km time trial?

It's the melbourne way. Drafted Scully with a shot knee..

Melbourne are playing an exceptional game of bluff here.

We are jostling with the Bulldogs with the idea that they want a key forward (McCartin or wright) at number 2.

This won't happen unless the bullies give up something exceptional which we don't think they will. This is the bluff. We will threaten this trade all the way up until Friday to see if Saints pull the trigger on the below deal. Hence why we are making it known we are talking to the bullies.

This leaves saints thinking that they may miss out on the tall they want if they do the GWS deal involving jaksch and o rourke due to the bullies potentially getting pick 2. Meaning Saints hold their number 1 pick and take a forward and hence leaving petracca to us.

Brilliant strategy dees! Just brilliant!

Yeah nah no game of bluff I believe we're genuily shopping 2 around for a player and a slight downgrade, I think we're more keen on Brayshaw by the sounds of it anyway.

Something about drafting petracca scares me. Can't quite put my finger on it

Wouldn't matter if they did read Demonland.

This all depends on who we want and who Saints want. If saints give up pick we know it is not Petracca. We just warn them if they trade pick they lose McCartin. Simple really

If opposition scouts and its managers are reading opposition fan forums to gain insights into who they should be drafting and trading then god help them (although if you're Barry Prendergast then it would help).

I like the idea that we play it straight with using picks 2 and 3 on Petracca and Brayshaw... and scare GWS off from Christian.

Or force GWS to deal with us rather than the Saints to get access to Petracca with pick 2...

And hope like hell they are the real deal and we can develop them into the champs we need.

A mate at work said that he think Petracca will slip to their second round pick... Typical Collinwood.

Tell him Beams has also been cleared to Lions for pick 98.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
