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.

    a few months ago I said if the MFC get Petracca we can use phrases like

    Watch out for the Petraccattack

    Just reminding everyone I made up that word and I own the copyright to it

    Are we going with Braytracca or Petrashaw?

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    my goodness, i really hope we don't pass on him in favour of lever...

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
