You do realise it's pronounced Petrarka don't you?

Only when used on its own

When its used as PETRACCATTACK is is pronounced Pe-track-ah

Glad I could clear the air for everyone on this issue

    I think it's time to let it go big fella.

    It's just not catching on.

    But everybody thought it was a great idea at play-lunch

    Good call, Deestroy Allsy.

    Your choice of name has preempted my mockingly Roos-esque term of endearment retort.

    Well played.

    I will not rest until every Demon supporter is yelling Petraccattack every time he goes near the ball

    If anyone wants a laugh head over to the Saints bigfooty.

    They have gone from calling him their saviour to rubbishing him and calling him fat and useless LOL

    Better than 'Pet.'

    I said pet, I said love, I said darl, I said pet - get the effing ball!

    Actually, I don't mind that...

    If we could get him to tweak the pronunciation of his name a bit to Pet-tracker, could get a pet tracker as seen above on board for sponsorship, and make Hogans_Heroes happy, but we don't want to do that. Maybe whack one in the old GPS slot in his jumper. Not as far a reach as Buddha Hocking changing his name to Whiskers.

    TBH HH i like it. It's got a nice feel about it.

    I'm in. But perhaps rather than yelling it every time he goes near the ball i'll start after he hits 25 possessions and/or 3 goals

    Petracca and Brayshaw look so un-MFC like for draftee midfielders to the club. Neither are choir boys.

    Bloody pumped. About time.

    I have always loved this club. And it feels like it is finally starting to pay me back.

    I feel the same, we've finally drafted the right type of guys.

    It has taken us a good decade to draft some bigger bodies early - but we should reap the rewards.

    Petracca looks like a bull and Brayshaw looks every bit another Dustin Martin/Oliie Wines type player.

    Delighted with the choices but was there any choice?
    Lets give them some time and then enjoy the joy.

    They're a pathetic bunch

    But what do you expect from supporters of a team that has won 1 flag LOL

    They've won one more than us since their last.

  • Quote

    Or including it was the point. We rely too heavily for our sense of self upon what was done by those who are now dead or old men. Time to make a new history for what was once a great club. I think recent developments give us cause for optmism.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
