Too fat, too slow can't kick. I'm calling it right now BUST! Drop him and trade him.

THOUGHTS?

Trade him for a used plastic blunt knife with old pie and tomato sauce on it.

In the review on monday in front of the team show the moment in that final term where he didn't go hard enough for the ball. 

Or give him one more chance play him out of the square next week. We all know he can mark the ball really well. Maybe point out to him DeGoey has flown past him and I really do not care you are mates with Ben Simmons.

Pathetic display. Just not a serious footballer. They can send him to the gulags.

Had a shocker that is for sure. I think he is the type who can excel if we have control of the pill. If we don’t he struggles. Not sure what his problem is, he has all the tools.

Time to go. Trade. Name me another successful top 2 Pick who needed a vfl stint and then became an elite player. Doesn't happen.

Treats every game like park footy with his mates.  Needs to have someone like Todd Viney pin him up against a wall and  be told a few home truths from 2 inches away. Get angry son! You can be everybody’s buddy off the field. On it, you need to be a dead set hard nosed bastard that physically intimidates the opposition.

I would play him in the backline. If it doesn’t work out then trade for a set of steak knives. 

It won't work out.

Going backwards. 

Another player who needs a rocket up his ...Arsenal. 

Too nice.  Had to exert physical side of the game.  

Becoming Sylvia-like as he has all the ability but can’t quite crack into Agrade

He has good core strength but that's about it. May have made a solid backup PG in the NBL. Is about 3 inches short to have impact in the air, is too slow to have impact on the wing, and simply doesn't win enough 1 on 1s.

Badly out of form and unfortunately have seen more of the bad than the good. I'd give him until the end of his current contract, and then reasses.

I think the slight on his effort is actually unfair. I just don’t think he’s that good. He’s been a decent contributor over the last couple of years, but he will never be the De Goey type we have all been hoping he will be.

Send him back to Casey for a month play him of half back and get a Diet plan coz he does look out of condition!

No way will he be dropped. If he gets drop and ANB is still in the side then i will stop supporting Melbourne and AFL in general. 

Out of form and somehow needs a game to rediscover that. Could next friday be that match? Hope so, i am backing him.

BOTH need Casey time! Time for Goody to exert some nerve and send the message out that Both are playing Shizzzen!

This ^^
Doesn't have the drive to get away from mummas lasagne and get himself properly fit.
I'm thinking we trade while some club thinks they can turn him around.

Me too.

Trac had an off season injury and surgery I believe and is therefore needing a bit of time to find his best.

If not for his set shot kicking last year, you would say he had a very good season last year.

He will get back to that form.

ANB on the other hand offers us nothing and in fact often gets in the way and costs us.

I think the problem is both mental and physical. Mentally Petracca is trying 'too hard', and he is playing outside of himself. He wants to have a real impact - you can see that. The kid tries his heart out. Physically, as has been mentioned on this site all pre-season, Petracca is carrying too much weight. Everyone outside of our fitness department can see that, and its obviously having an effect on Petracca's game. The solution: Lose weight, build endurance, and run full time on the ball. Put down the basketball and start training for distance. I am still very impressed with Petracca, he is just not being served well by our fitness department.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
