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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
