He's playing AFL, not farnarkling which is a much more difficult sport played in NZ.

Not for the legendary Dave Sorensen, Australia's greatest farnarkler ...

This was in the other Petracca thread but deserves an airing here. Kids got style.

Kudos to the creator of this gif.

Truck 12 CPs in his second game.

Clarry 13 CPs in his 5th (?) game.

Petracca looks like he is ready to fire up. He is a ripper. 

 Perfect mid/half forward. Loves a goal. Very smart footballer.

For those people who are old enough Christian reminds me of a young Ron Barassi with his strut and powerful thighs. I don't wish to put the player under pressure to emulate the great RB but if he works hard he has the talent to emulate his record as being one of MFC greats. I remember when RB started he had the talent and drive but was tried in a number of positions on the field before his role as a ruck rover at 5ft 10in which was considered short.  RB greatest asset was his drive to be the best, hopefully CP5 has that drive.

I'd like to see that second goal from front on to see clearly what he did. Anyone seen such video?

I was at the game and Trac was right in front of me when he ran on to the ball. He didn't try to pick it up, but rather fed it on to the outside of his boot (according to the radio). I'm sure they played it on the big screen behind the same goal taken from a different angle.

Tell your wife Betty I always thought she was a bit of alright (much better than Wilma)

Sorry cant agree, just something about a redhead.

I love his strut and the fact that he is very, very happy with himself.

Can see what happened in this shot a little better

You can tell he's a basketballer with the agility in that kick. Amazing degree of difficulty made to look effortless, a bit like Garlett's freak goals every single week.

Wonder if Truck will be the Monday hero on 360 tonight?

I reckon Harmes played a better game and deserves a nod before Trac

Tracc is still finding his feet but when he had the ball today and had time to do what he wanted (and not what the Dogs pressured him into) he was reminiscent of Judd.

On the verge of a big break out game.

played another good game and coming along nicely.  Needs to be aware that the low, hard, bullet pass is not always the best option.  His burst out of a crowded pack in the final quarter was incredible.

What stage of the quarter was that

[hells bells 2,023]

Maybe around 20minutes. If have to go and watch the replay again, to see exactly.  You'll know it when you see it.  He is around/under 2-3 Bulldogs players and bursts out and forward.

It was actually the 3rd Quarter. 5.04 to go. Centre clearance just before Watts kicked the goal.
