Christian Petracca - Rising Star

[Older demon 2,741]

While the Rising star poll goes on I thought I would mention that the coaches votes are in for this round and Stretch, Petracca and Oliver are all in the votes from our game. How good is that 3 kids under the age of 21 with a handful of games in the votes, that must be something of a record. Surely Stretch or Petracca will get yet another MFC Rising Star nomination after Oliver and Harmes. There is so much development in this squad of players.

Damn on checking he played 11 games last year so is ineligible next in line Petracca.

This just shows how blatantly wrong Schwab's Red & Blueprint was.

It is staggering that someone can get something so wrong when i am sure he wanted it to work

Oh i am loving it. But it just shows that it aint Rocket Science to recruit young kids with the right attitude. 

Hey i hope Schwab still reads this site in the shadows and feels sick in his guts for what he let happen...

We all paid good hard earned

A farce...

Stretch was sublime. Would be hard to look past him. Trac was great but the edge to Stretchy this round.

I believe SOS (Son of Stretch) played 11 games last year, making him ineligible.

Just double-checked this.  You're quite right.

Wow, imagine how good Trac will be when he actually has a break out game!

absolute talent to burn that we haven't seen fully unleashed yet 

[What 18,810]

 

The 20-year-old had displayed signs of his prodigious talent but he found his consistency on Sunday, racking up 21 disposals as well as being involved in 11 of Melbourne's score involvements.

Petracca also laid seven tackles and was credited with 21 pressure acts in his fourth AFL game.

He is an animal. Can't wait to see how he develops in the next couple of years. 

Scary

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Great for Christian and the club, 3 already this year

Thought Stretch's game was better this week though.

Maybe this is the AFLs way of saying sorry about taking away that goal.

well done Trac

Fair enough, didn't realise he played that many

You'd be forgiven. He was sub in most of those games so realistically he probably only played about 5 full games!

[Lord Travis 10,694]

Congratulations to Petracca! He's going brilliantly so far for only 4 games in. Consistently winning ball and being involved in lots of scoring chains. He could develop into something seriously special.

Great to see him gaining confidence in his body too. He had a few rough landings after marks on the weekend that would've tested his knee and he held up and fine. 

[DemonOX 8,779]

Well done u young bull.

I am not sure how to access those stats, but would 11 score involvements be some sort of high, also 21 'pressure acts'?

Yeah. He could be quite good once he gets a few more games under his belt. ?
