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

    Looks like he wants to be a demon.

    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!

    If anyone understands what I've just written, have confidence we will get our man

    Brayshaw.

    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

    Does anyone know why Petracca pulled out of the 3km time trial with a lap to go?

    Who was suggesting they do? It's being played out in the media.

    Seriously, some ppl!

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
