Highly doubt this has anything to do with testing results

I was a bit suspicious of Petracca when I saw the footage of him getting injured in the 3km time trial

it actually looked like he was faking the injury

maybe he was tanking to make the Saints skip him and get to the MFC ;)

Many posters on this thread sem to have not read the headr - it has been hijacked as a McCartin thread.


Posted this in the other draft thread, relevant here too:

.@sam_mcclure says McCartin to be #1 on Thurs ahead of Petracca as 'some of Petracca's testing hasn't been at the expectation of a #1 pick'

If thats the case please MFC dont let this one slip! And im getting pretty scared if could scare us off too!

Just the history of not taking Darling and Wines really has traumatized alot of us.

So I'm on 3AW Sports Today and its 6:40 - where is Petracca information!

 

I think, if genuine, it is personality based.

He's not the type of bloke you want to be a leader.

He has made comments about teammates finding him annoying.

Hyperactive like a diet-Jack Riewoldt or Heath Shaw.

He does seem to have a swagger about him, but by god, we need some of that.

heard Dwayne Russells voice

Turned it off immediately

A great reminder why I never listen to the radio

Yeah - this is the worst radio station I have listened to. Why oh why didn't SEN have the news.

I think back to Glenn McGrath. He was a pest (annoying) and his teammates loved it. The boys love Gawney (even Dawes) and he is annoying.

There is not a key forward screaming in the U17 or U16 at the moment whereas there are some gun mids who are better than Petracca, Bradshaw, Heeney when they were 16 and 17. If the team can't split them, take the key forward this year and the gun mid next year.

We have another mid coming through for us next year in Jake Lovett, so if Brayshaw and Petracca come to us in this draft, Lovett next draft and the likes of Salem, Viney, Tyson and even Toumpas, surely that should alleviate our midfield woes.

Don't forget Stretch, Kent, Newton and Michie.


Can you please point out where anyone is suggesting anything other than him earning it?

by the very idea you suggest an unnatural impediment..i.e a wall

thankyou for the please btw ^_^

If we got Petracca and Brayshaw in this draft...i tell you what...i would...just...arrrrgggghhhhhhh

That is disturbing on so many levels


I think Petracca lacks polish and smarts for such a high pick. He also seems a bit too cocky. I don't know but I get a bit of the Sylvia's about this bloke.

FFS the kid is 18 and full of testosterone. Give him a break.

We don't need any more introverted shrinking violets.

Love his attitude when he said pick me and I won't let you down.

Any rough edges can be smoothed over. Show me anyone who is the full package at that age.

Nothing wrong with a young bloke having a bit of attitude. I like what we get from Hogan and Viney for example, but Petracca's just seems to come from a different place. In any case my main concern is that I feel he lacks the smarts and polish if such a high pick. But I realise I don't have all the information. It's just the vibe of it...

I believe that we will take McCartin but immediate impact ?

Please name the last key position footballer taken in the draft that had an immediate impact

(if you can name one then I will name you the other 98% that took until 21-22 of age at least before they had the immediate impact you speak of)

Well darling gets a mention for starters

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
