I personally would like to see petraca playing against Essendon. He is fit enough and has they skills to come straight in, trying him against one of the lesser teams will mean a lesser opponent to start with rather than front up like watts did against a top side with a quality opponent. The only issue is obviously going to be who to drop from the current team. I guess we will get an answer to that tomorrow at the end of our GWS game.

I'd love to see him (truck ) and fellow Dees tear them a new one !!

sorry?

Trac seriously wants to play, you could tell that today, he is getting slightly [censored] off with supporters asking him when he will be in the side all the time, which adds to the frustration he feels,  but he  can't react, he knows I am asking him deliberately so gives me a ridiculous answer each time I ask

Is there anything Allen Jakovich like in how Petracca plays?

Petracca and Oliver will be stealing Brownlow votes from each other.

That's my only concern.

I can't wait for the moment Petracca, Hogan, Brayshaw, Weideman & Oliver run on to the G together full of confidence knowing they can win any game they play. Let it happen. Small steps first but there's a future right there.

A lovely thought if they are both scoring lots of votes.

Yes but being seen with you in public should not be a problem anymore.

I will be wearing a groovy new beard,sunglasses and hat to avoid cringing throughout the day.

Just out of curiosity, is there anything in the rules or technicalities that would make him eligible to play this weekend coming from outside the squad?

He could but we would be fined.

Roos can pay the fine!

Wait, Petracca  played?

Last week Misson said he was 4 weeks away.  [censored] me dead, they could have had another 200 people in the crowd if not for misinformation like that.

Anyway great to hear , JT, Weed and TRACCA all exciting.  Would love a Petracca debut vs Essendrug, might be too early though.

 

not how I read his comment.

No he said he'd need 4 weeks of training, which he's now had and said he'd be close to this week. I didn't know if I'd see him today but they gave him the all clear. And it's nice to keep him under wraps and let Trenners have a moment in the sun. 

I expect he'll need a minimum of 2 weeks at Casey, making round 4 the earliest possible. We just have to keep being patient. 

Based on today I expect highs and lows to his form anyway. He might need to be dropped, rested or switched roles for his development. But there will be highs.

I don't know DS,, if that's what he was saying...

I took it to mean he would be 4 weeks away from being ready to play any AFL games.  

For anyone who has been listening to club comments.  They were saying last week that both Trenners & CP5  would be playing for Casey by next week in practice matches.  So how anyone hearing those reports can think its 4 weeks of training only,  I'm not sure.

"C . Petracca...3 Votes."

Get familiar with that.

It doesn't bother you that late in the season Weidman might come one and split the share of forward-50 entries, accidentally denying Hogan the ton?

just realized newton was playing today? How did he go?

I have put some pictures on my Twitter account, Demonpk, including Mr Petracca in action, in case any of you need something to look at before you go bobos...make sure to keep a grip on yourself though

If Jab is allowed to keep his it will unfortunately become a tainted award - the Downlow Medal.

No dazzle. Newton took part in a number of drills but I don't think he took part in the match simulations or the practice match part of the session.

BOG 11 times each that's 33 votes. 

I'm sure they'll be happy to be joint 2nd behind Viney on 44. 

How did JKH go? His on thin ice this year and needs to perform to get a new contract imo

Good backup, no more.

He's still contracted until 2017. He's played 22 games and kicked 13 goals, which in my book is doing quite well for a young, undersized player picked at #40 in the draft after two years in the system.

And many of those appearances were half games due to being sub.

No doubt he looked like he had it in his first year. But he has not only stagnated, he has actually gone backwards. Big year for him.
