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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
