He is a brilliant player whose flaws sometime outweigh his brilliance. Improve his tank and ball use and he slides straight into the A grade category. His turnovers kill me but I love watching him.

One thing is for sure - he is one of a maybe 5 players who stood up in 2019. He is part of our solution, not part of the problem and I celebrate him for that.

 

I suspect that most here would prefer deeds to words from our club.

For us to play deep in finals we need a fit Petracca in the midfield averaging 25 plus disposals per game.

 

 

I’d play this bloke as a half forward flanker pinch hitting for 2 centre bounces a quarter.

Despire his want to be a full time midfielder, he should be utilising his innate  ability to hit the score board.

Petracca should be aiming for and kicking 40 goals a year and be in contention for all Australian.

You are no doubt correct Mono, but in the off season its hard to give more than words. 

Yes, its off-season fluff but at least we have something to talk about while there are no games being played. That is most likely the aim of these articles. Imagine if the club said nothing until round 1 next year....................................................................

I for one love his attitude

Really hope he becomes the player we all want him to be - an out and out superstar

I actually think he was one of our most consistent players in a truly awful year

Yeah well I have my doubts, Overweight, Questionable goal kicking technique, Inconsistent!..happy to trade!!!!

Too many are willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Especially considering I have zero faith on who they'd trade him for.
It'd be some injury prone NQR.
He improved this year and if he can improve again next year and the year after he'll be a 25yr old gun.

Ridiculous overraeaction Yes he needs to build fitness or a tank and his goal technique from 35 m in is flawed but you work in these problems and improve players 

Trading l players out is not the answer 

his season was his best overall yes 30 plus goals should have been his total but his major fault was his very good first halves and not so good after half time 

that's partly fitness and dldonbuikding a tank not necessarily overweight .

Far too much flogging players over last year snd in 2020 everyone gets a chance if retribution.

Wow that’s lofty expectations!

The elite such as Martin, Fyfe and Dangerfield aren’t even capable of it.

They spend most time on the ball

Trac prob is more a forward and perhaps 40 plus goals is more realistic but 25 possessions is not unrealistic.


For his own mental health he is better off asking for a trade, unless he wins a Brownlow, in many posters eyes he has not lived up to being pick 2, and because of this he will be a whipping boy.

So do you think we should trade every player who has any faults or limitations?  

I think we all agree that  CP5 needs to work on endurance and set shot goal kicking - so rather than trade him, how about we encourage and help him address these limitations?

I want Goodwin sacked, Jones delisted and Viney traded. I hope 2020 turns out like Richmond's 2017. :P

Became hard to tackle and hard to bring down in a tackle this year.  That will really boost his confidence going forward. I want to see him regain his one grab marking. He's a confidence player and a decent kick, his set shot shockers should disappear.

Yeah but similar to when Jimmy Toumpas was drafted, I always went for Oliver Wines. Don't put words in  my mouth and guess what...

I, Unlike your tiger mate would NEVER have agreed to what your mate wanted.

Coz "Fence Knows Footy"

Tracc was ok in 2019. He wasn’t the problem 

 

So what WAS the problem??? SWYL?

Basic skills all over the ground.

It was all too hard Picket. Tracc had a serious crack at least. 

Should get 2nd to Max in the B&F tomorrow night 

Another main problem I believe happened this year, was too much structure. Not enough playing on instinct.

You are a fingging troll  you have never had a positive post ever, Jimmy toumpas is not even half the player tracc is he is tracking along nicely, very few superstar became one in there first four years in the AFL, Gary Ablett only avaraged 16 disposals a game in his first 100, not saying that he will be as good but Rome was not bulit in a day.

Edited by don't make me angry

Hnmm Ok, but Troll is a Bit over the top!

Gotta have passion and opinion!

Well the FACT that an insignificant and largely non effective Co Capt Viney was 3rd in the B&F, is, was a Damning indictment on our year!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
