Petracca doesn't have a mum, he was created in a lab.

It's hard enough watching Melbourne play without also having money on the line.

A poll on the Punt Road End site has 47% saying Melbourne will win by a 21 to 50 point margin....

I'm not sure I am comfortable with this..altho the bookies still have the Toiges as favourites

Not sure why they're favourites with the bookies, we've won the last 3-4 vs them, we're in much better form and have a clear advantage in the ruck/midfield. 

from what i can see we win unless we play a shocker.

you can be as cynical or optimistic as you want, it still has zero influence on who will win the game.

Petracca is listed as an emergency, so there is time on Friday or Saturday to release a video of him calling his mum or dad telling them he is now playing. Announcing him as an emergency stokes the interest in this game and who's in or not.  All eyes will be on tomorrows training. interesting the mixed feelings it brings out, do we want Jeffy to have another week off, or want him in possibly at the expense of Petracca who we have waiting so long to see run out in the red and blue.

Jones came off in the final minutes last week and on radio they said an injury. I thought they may have chosen to rest Oliver when we play the GC in a few weeks time. 

Wow wasnt expecting Christian to be named but it would be great if he did play. 

I hope we get a great crowd and the melbourne fans turn out. Would be great if we could repeat last years effort.

Was it Thursday or Friday last week that the club uploaded the video of Hunt ringing his mum??

No such video of Petracca yet.

Mate have you not read the Mahoney comments..

Quite simply he said that IF Garlett doesn't get up tomorrow Petracca will make his debut. If Garlett passes a fitness test then Tracca does not play.

Seriously not hard to work that out...

Petracca doesn't have a mum. He was developed in a laboratory.

My man says he's fine but the club is playing all injuries cautiously, I guess because we have depth to cover atm

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
