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

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
