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....

The Trac is MFC's Canyonero.

Okay I have just cancelled a game of golf at a very good golf club because of this development. There is no way I will miss this debut. He'll will freeze over before I miss the debut of the Trac.

Awesome cannot wait to see what he brings on Saturday. When I was watching ch10 sport and said breaking news on a young demon I automatically thought it was something negative that maybe Viney injured himself or something. But happy news and I like how Rossy has made him wait. 3-5 years ago he would have been thrown in r1. 

.....and made Captain....I wondered why the odds had come rim $1.90 a few days ago to $1.58...

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

So said [insert name of any St Kilda onballer]

[Akum 2,660]

So what's he most looking forward to? His first kick? First effective possession? First score involvement? First goal? First specky???  

NO!!! This is what he says ...

“I can’t wait to get out there and get a first tackle and really play to be honest."

Just gotta love this kid!

Well if you are going to back CP5 for the rising star best you do it before this week is out.....

Funny that, Sportsbet have him at $8 before he has even played a game, ahead of Parish (who has already been nominated).

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,131]

In that famous year, 1987; Robin White??? Not on my radar - had to Google him. 30 games after playing for SA in '84, but Rd 15, '87 was his last game. Can't even remember him in night series win in April. Anyway...

 

No pressure, Christian.

Really.

[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

Ok - who do we reckon st.kilda will play on the Truck? 

[SaberFang 7,151]

I haven't followed St Kilda much this year; are they well covered to match up on speedy smalls like Kent, Garlett and Kennedy with Hogan, Pedo, Watts and Petracca rotating through CHF?

If he can kick the goal to beat the Pies in a GF I will be forever happy.

[Flemo56 396]

Very hard not too be excited about this debut, lotsa mudundies needing to be changed by the sounds of it.......free balling helps keep em cool and loose but not much good for the weak bladder types, dunno about the girls, anyway back too the tracca, well done to have finally got his chance and may he have a solid game for our mighty "rising" Demons in a win over the Saints.

Tennis starts this week but I have begged off; I'll be there!

Webster towelled up Garlett twice last year from memory. 

Garlett, Kent and Kennedy is a different story though, the chemistry amongst those 3 has been amazing, like they've played together for years. Add in Petracca and it's a quick, powerful and crafty bunch to stop. 

Get it down there like we have been and we should kick a winning score.

That Webster kid is a weapon.

Goes under the radar because he plays at one of the smaller clubs.

Wanted to fly home from Italy for the weekend then fly back, but it's a little out of budget. 

I will be up at 5am to watch it though. Super excited!!!

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

We will destroy the saints if we move the ball anything like what we have been recently, the Giants sliced them open and their defense looks very VERY average when they can't get numbers back. 

Thinking Hogan is due for a big game as well. 

Looking forward to seeing Petracca out there, slightly dissapointed however that it's most likely at the expense of Brayshaw, would have been great to see all these young guns starting to get a few games together but we really need Gus to find some form, he's very important to us going forward.

Good player.  Tough too.

[Gator 17,361]

One thing I've noticed, which should be clarified.

His name is not pronounced 'Petrahca'.  Definitely 'Petracka'.
