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. 

    Didn't quite link it properly

    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.

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

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
