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.

Quite happy to keep the media expectations low on our young guns. We'll never know how much influence winning it last year had on Jesse, but I'd much prefer our guys being underrated by other clubs. W

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 

Remind me what the Blueprint was.

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.

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.

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'?

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

Scary

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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
