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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    BOG 11 times each that's 33 votes. 

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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
