WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRISTIAN PETRACCA

[Moonshadow 17,673]

I'm at the draft camp now having a look and wow Petracca is a unit! Has that big backside big leg look and looks very sharp. I'd put some photos up but feel like a creep taking them

Taking pictures of Petracca's backside would be very creepy indeed deeko. Unless of course, he goes to the Saints, where nude selfies are club policy.

[beelzebub 23,312]

Better look elsewhere this kid cant last 3 k

With one lap to go in the 3km time trial, Christian Petracca has pulled out. Looks to be limping a bit #DraftCombine

Clearly doesnt want the Saints to take him so he can get to the MFC

[Felix 92]

Looks like he wants to be a demon.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Looks like he wants to be a demon.

Because he's injured and couldn't finish a 3km time trial?

It's the melbourne way. Drafted Scully with a shot knee..

[Demon Forever 219]

Melbourne are playing an exceptional game of bluff here.

We are jostling with the Bulldogs with the idea that they want a key forward (McCartin or wright) at number 2.

This won't happen unless the bullies give up something exceptional which we don't think they will. This is the bluff. We will threaten this trade all the way up until Friday to see if Saints pull the trigger on the below deal. Hence why we are making it known we are talking to the bullies.

This leaves saints thinking that they may miss out on the tall they want if they do the GWS deal involving jaksch and o rourke due to the bullies potentially getting pick 2. Meaning Saints hold their number 1 pick and take a forward and hence leaving petracca to us.

Brilliant strategy dees! Just brilliant!

If anyone understands what I've just written, have confidence we will get our man

Brayshaw.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Yeah nah no game of bluff I believe we're genuily shopping 2 around for a player and a slight downgrade, I think we're more keen on Brayshaw by the sounds of it anyway.

Something about drafting petracca scares me. Can't quite put my finger on it

[Demon Disciple 12,021]

Does anyone know why Petracca pulled out of the 3km time trial with a lap to go?

Especially brilliant as none of the other Clubs read DEMONLAND!

Who was suggesting they do? It's being played out in the media.

Seriously, some ppl!

[Redleg 40,777]

Wouldn't matter if they did read Demonland.

This all depends on who we want and who Saints want. If saints give up pick we know it is not Petracca. We just warn them if they trade pick they lose McCartin. Simple really

If opposition scouts and its managers are reading opposition fan forums to gain insights into who they should be drafting and trading then god help them (although if you're Barry Prendergast then it would help).

I like the idea that we play it straight with using picks 2 and 3 on Petracca and Brayshaw... and scare GWS off from Christian.

Or force GWS to deal with us rather than the Saints to get access to Petracca with pick 2...

And hope like hell they are the real deal and we can develop them into the champs we need.

A mate at work said that he think Petracca will slip to their second round pick... Typical Collinwood.

[jnrmac 20,047]

Gysberts....

Surprised he could count to 2.

Tell him Beams has also been cleared to Lions for pick 98.

Surely Petracca's value just plummeted?

[Senegor 31]

Great use of counter-intelligence, put Mark on the radio and all of a sudden clubs are running for the hills
