Christian Petracca - Rising Star

Featured Replies

 

Hasn't even broken out of a canter yet. 

Be afraid. 

Bit like the famous Porsche 917k's from 1969-70

an absolute scary beast to drive until the aerodynamics got fully sorted, then they became an unbeatable jet. 

Still Quick 40 years later...

 

Very exciting talent. Most exciting player since Farmer.

My advice son ... get the footy and go. Do not handball.  

When you are inside 50, always have a shot.

 

Showed a different view of the touched goal on AFL 360. Turns out it was touched. Slight ripple of the little finger, but it was there. 


Well done Truck!  Just part of the very impressive arsenal of top-end young talent that we are building.  Continue to develop them and keep them together, and we are going places.  Love it!

So one team in an 18 team competition has 3 rising stars out of 9 awarded to date .... 

And just won by 10 goals, with the youngest team on the park of the 18 fielded for the weekend

Ok.....Im going to keep my eye on that team!

And well done CP.. deserved! 

I think he might be the closest to Ronald Dale we have seen.

Never watched RDB live, but that combination of strength, skill and judgement people speak of is what we see in CP

I've seen enough. Into the favourite players group. :P


Is Jaydan Hunt eligible?

That guy is so quick off the HBF he seems to find gaps between a pack of 4 opersision players and sprints straight through them all without being touched.

If he starts finding a bit more of the ball then he'll get one at  some stage of the year.

 

Back to Petracca, I'm not sure  just who to compare him with - he's such an aggressive, attacking player.  Can't wait to see what he becomes.

I have watched the replay of the game a few times now and was amazed to see poise Petracca showed with the ball. Not tentative about demanding team mates move to the right places and a couple of his tackles and in close work were very very impressive.

As others have wondered, I sat there and asked myself just how good this kid could be. All this in his 4th game in a developing young, middle of the road team that is looking to improve with every outing.

Will be a ride that is more than interesting.

yay wow  exciting times for the the dees  go  you good  thing , lovin it 

The last player I was this excited about at a young age was Hogan. He is very good, but we've barely seen what he can do yet. 

And the AFL owe him a goal, that was a disgraceful overturned call. The AFL Access All Areas video even featured the goal as a part of his highlights!


Three Rising Star awards in 9 Rounds is that some kind of record, certainly is for the MFC, I was at the game and loved what I saw but having now watched the replay twice you can see it a bit more close up and he has that game breaking ability that you don't see all that often. His determination and strength is matched by his skill boy we really have one here, he makes you go "WOW" what a beauty - Congratulations Christian.

Petracca to win rising star this year and then we will three peat it with weed winning it next year ;)

You mean that you didn't immediately put him in when we drafted him in 2014 (based on his highlights)? Tsk! Tsk!

Trac will be the player Sylvia should have become if he'd pulled his finger out.

And not embarrass the Club with his off-field antics!

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 

Didn't we have something like 6-7 risking star nominations during 2011-12?

CP has more talent than Colin had.  Both Bulls though, so similar in that respect. 

Three of the nine nominations so far.  Great stuff.  Now, let's see Hunt make it four in the next few weeks...

 

Loved the don't argue to his own teammate in congestion. Out of the way mortal. Trac need room.

Set shots require some practice but in general play...wow. He's something out of the box.

 

I give it before mid next year til he kicks 8 goals in a game.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
