Very good article about a kld who is still finding his feet in the man's world of AFL football.  The mind boggles at the heights he could reach in the next few years.  A bloody ripper, that's for sure.  So happy that he wears red and blue when he seemed destined to be a Saint.

Great article but this quote made me a bit queasy.

“We’ve actually had five knees in five years in the family,” he says.

“Not all ACLs and they were all self-inflicted, but my brother did his PCL before me, and my (other) brother did his ACL (five) weeks ago.”

I still can't believe Petracca slid through to 2. It is something I don't think I will ever understand.

I will give you my answer in about 4 years when we have had sufficient time to evaluate Tracc versus McCartin

i thought until recently Weitering was certain to win the Rising star, and i think he probably still will but Gee Track is going to give it a real shake.

For some reason despite how good Christian Petracca plays in the latter part of the season, I have a feeling the AFL would push for Wietering to win it over us. Could you imagine..our key position player last year winning it over Carltons midfielder and then our midfielder winning it over theirs this year...lol

It was all about price for key fwds. Boyd and Buddy signing big deals spooked the Saints.

Enjoyed that, especially an insight on how he felt last year and his positivity for the future. The fact he was no.2, the fact he went down so early in the preseason and Brayshaw's form put him massively under the radar. Then his injury this season made me feel his career will be somewhat plagued. The fact he was significant in such a poor team performance V Sydney gives me hope he's a guy not afraid to dominate and we need a couple of them

Great work .

I hope the media just repeat the same facts for the next 15 years about his basketball career as a junior.

I loved it when they mentioned MU every time Brad Green got the pill.

Showed their brilliant research skills.

He's something we've lacked for almost as long as I can remember. He's a game breaker, he's someone that when the game is on the line you want it in his hands and he wants it in his hands. He'll be the one that'll pluck that incredible goal out of nothing, or burst through the pack at the last stoppage of the game and deliver it lace out to Hogan. He will win games off his own boot. 

And he's ours.

Pates If he gets half way to that amazing outlook I would be a happy Demon. Having said that I do think he will be one of 3 future champs for us provided we can seal the deal with Hulk post 2017. However,  being a wounded warrior over many decades I tend to take the "seeing Is believing" route nowadays

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
