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

    Christiansy. Simple.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
