This group has already been special to watch, but it's scary to think just how much they will contribute as they continue to develop!

This is going to be one hell of an era! ??

Petracca has had a bit of flak thrown his way on DL this year.  This caught my eye in the article: 

"Only Brownlow medallists Dustin Martin and Patrick Dangerfield averaged at least 25 disposals, one goal and 1.5 score assists per game in the home and away season.  Petracca's respective numbers this year are 20.4, 0.9 and 1.4, which are bumped up to 21.1, one and 2.1 since round 16".

He is pretty good company! 

With Brayshaw and Oliver starring they have taken the limelight off Petracca a bit allowing him to put together a string of games in the second half of 2017 without too much fanfare. 

I can't help but think our youthful Holy Trinity (average age 21) will quash their aging trio with average age of 31!

 

How good are the match ups

Oliver v Dangerfield

Viney v Selwood

Petracca v Ablett

Brayshaw v Duncan

Jones v Kelly

Tyson v Menegola

and................ Gawn v Abbott ?

I thought the same thing reading that this morning. Trac has gone about things nicely in the second half of this year, and the trio is real old guard/new guard stuff tonight. Imagine what this trio can do over a decade together!?

It's funny how easy it is to miss these things.

You forgot Harmes!!!!  It will be Harmes v Dangerfield I suspect....he's been in the best form for them and he's possibly a bit quick for Jack.

I know its Costello but the only Abbott gif I could find was offensive. That monster could be "The Gawn"

For the uninitiated this is the Gorn.

What a great and classic movie scene, amazing acting and costumes, looks at least as good as Avengers Infinity Wars too.

I mentioned this in the Petracca thread and also compared him to De Goey. He's having a fine season.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
