WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRISTIAN PETRACCA

[What 18,810]

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

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Brayshaw says 'AKKA' not 'ARKER'

think he's wrong though

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

I think it's time to let it go big fella.

It's just not catching on.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Christiansy. Simple.

But everybody thought it was a great idea at play-lunch

Christiansy. Simple.

Good call, Deestroy Allsy.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

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

[dazzledavey36 55,346]

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

[rpfc 28,779]

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.

He was apparently good mates with Sam Blease.

Poor kid.

You'll have many sleepless nights then.

Don't worry, i'll be around to wipe the egg off their faces over the next couple of years.

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

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

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.

Young love. How romantic Ron.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

If only.

Better have another drink.

Seriously... WTF are you talking about?!

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.

[obbafan 128]

Delighted with the choices but was there any choice?
Lets give them some time and then enjoy the joy.

[obbafan 128]

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.

[obbafan 128]

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.
