Thats why we are experts- I was completely underwhelmed by his kicking - that's because I saw a different video package. If you watch the package early on in this thread you will be unimpressed.

Well..I wasnt overly enamoured with Benny Boys highlights either but Port fans are spitting chips and our FD is grinning so what the do I know :) ( from just watching vids that is..lol )

I saw some good kicking and some very decent tackling ( actuallu clever tackling ) in and amongst Petyraccas reels.

Id be pretty happy if it was he and Brayshaw called out..having said that the gods will probably arrange something entirely different !!..as they do :mellow:

    I'll be happy when in the near future we say "geez - wasn't he a good draft pick" ( like I am saying about Tyson). Until that time I won't get excited by any name called out.

    He's a carbon copy of... dare I say it... Colin Sylvia.

    Didnt know Sylvia played Basketball.

    Can we say players were "Petraccambushed" or is that just too silly?

  • Quote

    Like player X was petraccambushed, the petraccasssailant used a petraccattack?

    I was looking forward to paddy and the hulk but we do need midfield talent.

    Except he's not a [censored].

    It's clear he is self driven. Something Sylvia never was.

    The fact he is confident in his ability is a positive.

    Landing Petracca and Brayshaw under our current FD format and environment will, in my eyes, be the break we've been longing for.

    It's time.

    The only bigger break would be if we were given the PP that we deserved and we could granb Wright as well!

    I'd agree.

    I wasn't talking in terms of personality.

    But he's not a leader either.

    And I think that might count against him for St Kilda.

    He might not be a leader but he can grow into one. Everyone is a leader in their own right. Adam Cooney was a smartass and cocky kid whk was always getting kicked out of his school classes for being a [censored]. Went on to win a charlie.

    Jack Darling Dustin Martin weren't leaders in their junior days. It hasn't stopped them to become bloody good players. What they are though are driven individuals who lead by actions and thats all Petracca has to be.

    But hey il take him if saints dont rate his leadership! :-D

    maybe petracca was the player whose room was too neat.

    It would be such a Melbourne thing to do.

    Yeah I think thats going beyond the joke there.

    Seriously since when does having a messh room effect your footballing ability.

    Sorry but I must be the only one who think thats a bit too extreme.

    I have just watched again and he doesn't hit a target by foot in that footage bar kicking goals.

    I have no doubt he is a gun, however, I just haven't seen him hit targets by foot in the limited footage I have seen and the above link doesn't disprove that.

    Ok, try this then.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
