    Thought it deserved another thread ha ha!

    The gotcha club video of Roosy telling the player that he is in is fast becoming a must see...

    Shattered now that I'll be away this weekend. Good luck to the kid.

    May have to buy tickets as it will hopefully be a big crowd not just of Dees but interest Aint's looking to see the young fella roll out for his first dig. No pressure Tracc!

    Hope he makes the Saints wonder why they didn't take him in the draft when they had the chance.

    how funny was Roos - the look on Petracca's face when he thought he WASN'T going to get a gig this week was priceless. Well played Paul, well played....

    Can't wait to see the big lad out there...just know he's going to do a couple of special things

    “He (Roos) reckons I’ve text him 40 times a day, which is not true. I’ve probably text Goody (Simon Goodwin) 40 times a day. It’s just me trying to get into the team to be honest,” he said with a smile.

    Love him already

    Well done MFC imho they have handled the kid just right and it is fitting they debut him against the Saints.

    Perhaps a bit of a financial decision as well. Debuting Petracca at our etihad home game will help the gate takings is maybe part of the consideration, knowing historically supporters stay away from etihad a bit

    Love how he just keeps saying "Yep... Yep... Yep..." to Roosy's waffle when he's probably thinking "Just tell me I'm [censored] playing Paul."

  • Quote

    Very happy for the kid.  Now, who makes way for him in the team?  Really hope it's not Gus, as I'm sure he really wants to be out there when his great mate finally gets a game...

  • Quote

    Spewing I'll be missing his debut, but excited to see what he can bring. The hype around him is so big, I hope he just takes it in his stride and does his thing on Saturday. 

    Super exciting times to be a Dees fan.

    Thought about Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Petracca in a centre bounce together and now I need to change my underpants

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
