    Thanks for putting that up Go the Biff, it is the best interview that I have heard from CP5, I feel like I know and respect the young man even more. I remember when he came on the scene that the older guy,s said that he was thr most irritating person on the team. I like his view that you need to embrace all types of personalities and love them for their differences. I am an old guy but I found him very Cool.!!! Dylan Buckley also VG interviewer.

    Christian is a breath of fresh air at Melbourne and his 2020 season was a sign of maturity  he can only get better and l say that with confidence. 

    Great watch the Trac speaks well it is a good sign for 2021 and beyond.

    He was awesome this season, but in 2021 I am expecting nothing less than the greatest individual season ever by a Melbourne player.

    It is going to be spectacular!

    Be careful P2J you will have all the doomsayers on your back saying they are sick of predictions as we are always let down.

    I am preferring to be bullish about our list and recruits of last year and BBB plus Locky etc improving us also the Ooze effect. 

    It's a fair chance as all our guns pretty well gave us good to great 2020 and look to be A or B graders of solid and consistent style.

    Keep pick 2 for Petracca... he is ready to go plus has superstar qualities

    Absolutely grateful that Christian Petracca came to the Dees.  
     

    He has shown the superstar qualities both ON and OFF the field.

    A great footballer and a fantastic respectful young man. He shows his values on the field and through interaction with teammates and in interviews.  
     

    It was huge that we chose him to be a Demon.

    Shoulda picked McCartin

    0 humility in that post.

    Petracca is starting to realize if he takes the game on no one can stop him. It takes 2-3 players. Lucky we have Oliver and Petracca, and they appear to be improving players. Both are trending upwards as they realize their immense talent.

    We all knew he was special.

    But a lot of high draft picks for mfc have failed to be as good as expected.

    Trac has gone to the next level we thought he could.

    Petracca is the closest player to the great Ronald Dale Barassi Jr who was my favorite player from the first time I saw him play in 1953 till he retired from the MFC in 1964.

    Petracca is his clone and both being of Italian heritage.

    I am not Italian by the way.

    I loved hearing from his parents on the channel seven broadcast where they said he’s a really quick thinker to the point that almost he doesn’t even know what he’s doing next, so what hope do the opposition have?!

    This will sound ridiculous but I still think he hasn’t reached his peak power yet.

    • 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.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
