Great picture of the skeleton.

I would love to see the X-ray of anyone who has played contact sport.

it certainly doesn't look like this.

How the hell do you expect to play "This little piggy went to market .."?

It makes sense BBO we don't want him to cry wee wee wee all the way home.

No you're confused Barney. You're thinking of Betty going "eee! eee!! eee!!!" when you're ravaging her in drunken celebration of a Melbourne win!

Well it seems he knows he probably shouldnt have been playing basketball going by his tweet. 

Frustrating time and setback in my goal of playing as soon as I can in 2016. I made a mistake and I'll learn from it. Thanks for the support

But interesting to hear Liam Pickering speak this morning on his thoughts.

Seems to me Mr Pickering is not saying anything profound but stating the bleeding obvious. It's not even headline worthy just another bit of click bait for the Hun.

i would expect nothing less...

How Liam Pickering is given airtime escapes me. Nothing he says is worth listening to.

Would assume he doesn't manage him.

[beelzebub 23,198]

Though Pickering States the bleeding obvious....it is the fact of the matter. Deride the messenger all you like. Fawn over the P kid all you like. Reality is he f'd up . Something to learn from. Very unprofessional.  Very un what the club provided. 

Some here have already presented him a golden..ne .. Platinum card.

Kid hasn't turned a trick for us yet. He has NO credits in bank.

 Needs to pull socks up and pay respect to his trainers and coaches. 

I'll probably be alone in this. Don't give a fig.

THIS. Someone on here said something in regards to this which has really resonated with me: your worst player on the list is the one that can't get on the park. 

Yes we know Petracca has a huge amount of potential, but at the moment he offers nothing and will continue to offer nothing until he starts playing games.

[beelzebub 23,198]

Some may think I'm knifing the lad. No such thing. I'm concerned. 

He needs to present properly and play to ability. He'll...that's what he's paid to do.

[picket fence 16,681]

Pickering is right ! What if he had done his ACL again . I for one would be livid! Learn a lesson indeed ! Should have been drummed into him and all players from the start" no unofficial" activities period! Remember Sam Blease breaking his leg playing muck around footy at school. Arguably finished his career before it started. I for one not happy at all with this setback to Petracca. 100 percent committed to playing AFL footy for all Melbourne players all else out

I'm sure we will all forget this moment when he starts tearing up MCG this season.

Give me a massive a spell. We deride this generation for sitting the bum and playing video games. Old mate feels confident in the knee for a little shoot around, massively unlucky. 

I'll be putting money in him for rising star.

hear you tone, blzb...

we all should start to expect more from our players,  rather than playing out fantasy videos of them across the bedroom wall,  showing how they could play,  rather than how the ARE playing?.
