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.

    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.

    Liking the multi-cultural flair. Greek, Lebanese and now Italian. And all three are guns in the making.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
