not bad JB

although harsh on T mac IMO, aside from his last couple of weeks he was very good all year.  especially out of position up front

it is hard to think past Saturday though.  WTF was he doing!?

I love Petracca but I keep getting this in my head.

Petracca - our new Sylvia...

Glad you said it first Gorgoroth. Because I have been thinking similar.

However he is still a kid so let's give him another couple of years.

He has had games where he has been very good.

There a number of others that have never shown much above VFL standard that have cost us dearly.

Pretty good.

Too generous for Oscar. Had one standout game for the season. Rest were good to shizen. Wasnt even close to Jetta or Hibbo.

I agree with OMac. His year was 6.5 at best.

But great overall analysis JB.

Pretty much spot on mate. Garland didn't make the list given he didn't play, I wonder if he will go on and play the final year of his contract. Seems like the forgotten man.

I think the problem is that his best is so good and so explosive that the "ordinary" stuff doesn't really register.

With another full preseason he should take the next step next year.

Whoa....please, god, no!

I hope no, but all we see are glimpses at the moment, I'm not saying he will become Sylvia but I keep getting this nagging feeling and I thought Sylvia would come good too.

Next year should give an indication.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
