so basically we'll end up with either Petracca or Brayshaw?

I see that as a win, win really.

I bet you're a happy camper tonight!

Time will tell how good Petracca becomes but if he is anywhere near the Wines/D.Martin hybrid like he's pumped up to be, I CANNOT WAIT to see him in action.

Whether he will end up like those two or not one thing is for sure: HE WILL HAVE A [censored] DIP!

Petracca looks like a bloody man child and is not just what Toumpus would look like on steroids?

I just hope these draft picks have the same effect on our club that Buddy and Rough did.. Premierships!

I wish Toumpas had Petracca's strength through the core.

Who knows, maybe Toumpas is just playing catch up after hip surgery a couple years back.

But if we get the best out of Jimmy Toumpas and Christian Petracca, we'll be a very dangerous football side.

 

The best thing I heard when Roos was interviewed was that "we now have to develop all our draft picks properly".

Geez it's nice to be in good hands for a change.

Couldn't be happier with CP.

Welcome.


Please tell me they were taking the [censored] with their top buttons up?

You're all over the important issues tonight Goodvibes.

 

There's just something about landing Petracca that is so un-Melbourne like and it utterly excites me.

I cant put my finger on it, but he is exactly the type of player we were never meant to have landed. Hes the type that goes to other clubs...surely...

Best draft i can remember in such a long time..if ever..as it stands.

exactly!! Not sure what it is but im wrapped

What an absolute belter of an interview. These guys just rolled off each other looked genuine excited to be together and playing for the Melbourne Football Club. Lot of laughing and banter between em just love it. Thats what footys all about.

Compare it to the dull and snooze fest interviews Scully and Trengove gave together couple of years ago.

Obviously he plays differently and the game is different, but not just because he's Italian but the bubbly enthusiasm Petracca has is very like what I imagine a young Dippa would've been like.

I just laughed the whole time. These boys are just so happy to be at the demons


Liking the multi-cultural flair. Greek, Lebanese and now Italian. And all three are guns in the making.

I read somewhere that they live together?

Poor old paddy looked like a lamb in headlights when he was welcomed to their club by roo over the telephone


"He's gonna kill me!"

Fantastic clip.

There was something about those two. I've never seen draftees come to Melbourne that just looked like they were going to make it. They oozed confidence together. I hoe we see that on the field. Amazing.

They were billeted together on the GC for the draft. Other than that I don't know.

Disagree. Out isn't just that. Though they are pumped to be together.

The relationship Angus has with Roos is a plus. They are happy to be at Melbourne.

It isn't Essendon. It isn't st kilda. It may not be getting drafted to Hawthorn BUT it isn't horrible anymore to come to roos and the dees.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
