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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
