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

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

    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.

    • 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.
