Christian Petracca - Rising Star

Featured Replies

Posted

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


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.

Petracca this weeks rising star just released on Twitter 

Boom!

Nice work, he's only given us a sniff so far.

 

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.

Need a thread title update please!

Well done, Christian.

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

Scary

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

Stretch is ineligible, played 11 games last year.

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!

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.

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. ?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
