Christian Petracca - Rising Star

Older demon
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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. ?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
