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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
