Has anyone mentioned that Petracca looks and plays like Darren Jarman?

    I didn't get to watch the game, is Petracca's 24 possies 2 goal performance likely to win him a rising star nom?

    It'll go close.

    Think his teammate James Harmes might win it this round

    That 2nd goal was ridiculous. 

     

    His clean pick ups below his knees at pace and quick give offs have been a good glimpse into the talent he possesses. 

     

    I love how he and Oliver keep their feet in all contests. Those 2 are so exciting.

    Tracca is now favourite for the Rising Star.    Oliver is great value at t$10

    Carlton fans are still doing their nut that Hogan beat cripps for the rising star n hated the explanation that a good big man is better then a good small man.

    Imagine the irony if petracca or Oliver beats weitering. I can almost taste the tears

    Comparing a players debut game to another players debut game would have to be one of the most pointless exercises.

     

    It helps me relax when I'm making ice sculptures, playing yahtzee or cloud busting.

    How many players have kicked their first goal in AFL from 60 metres?

    That was just a great kick - low, hard & straight. Thought he should have run in, but he knew what he was doing.

    And the second goal - at full pace, degree of difficulty off the scale, two precise touches.

    Two pieces of absolute top-drawer brilliance.

    From a bloke in his second farnarkling game!!!!

    What a shame for the lad that he had already been condemned to death by the nervous nellies on here.

    Watched the game. Trac heated up as the game went on. He is getting used to the game and looks like he will progress as the season wears on.

    It won't be long before opposition supporters start talking about him as the next big thing.

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

    He started getting used to the speed of the game in the 2nd half. He was decent last week and this week in contested situations, he stands up in tackles and gives off quick handballs to setup goals. He needs to work on his set shits as he keeps hooking then left, but it's been a decent first two games and he could develop into something special for us.

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

    They're basically short film clips, but the frame rate is slower, because less pictures make up the clip. HH/Petraccattack posts them all the time.

    • 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.
