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...

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

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.

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
