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.

Agree with most of the comments here.  Nightmare of a game.

I am sticking fat though.


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. 

Don't draft kids with child bearing hips like Toumpas and Petracca.

Tracc had a mare. That's how big his hips are. 

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.


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

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.

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!

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.

seems to just wait for things to happen and doesn’t go anywhere near hard enough or with any purpose or conviction.

 

Nail on the head

 

very convenient that everyone is saying this now after an 80 point loss. I was shot down for saying this last season.  spud. fumble fingers and cant kick

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
