I really liked the interview with Petracca from  the camp day 2.

The interviewer gave him a couple of good ins to talk about himself and how fit he is and how well he is travelling but he choose on both occasions to talk about the team. From what I have seen and heard he looks in absolute  ripping condition so he could of easily given himself some praise but didn't. 

Good stuff Tracc - perfect attitude

    My wife just asked me why I’m watching a video of a bunch of hunky dudes working out to a generic, slightly eastern-influenced piece of trap music. I must admit that I didn’t have an immediate answer.

    i agree.  Hard to take much from an interview but he just exuded maturity and belief.

    Crap music. If you can even call it music. Just have to be good on a computer.

    But i reckon you are being super harsh in regard to his work rate and the implication he has not shown enough hunger.

    The antidote to too much blind loyalty in support.  Some pay it back automatically;  and other need to be shoved off their 'security blanket perch' they have attached themselves to.

     Petracca is the latter.   As was Gawn for the first half of his time with us...  and Petracca has reacted positively so far, to the stinging criticism...  as deep down he knew he wasn't putting it all out there for our club.

    This year is really the first time he can get really fit

    That's the sort of low expectations of our players,  which allows that casual approach and level of commitment to creep back into our culture.  

    Too much sympathy is detrimental to most young players...  give an inch, and a mile sneaks out.

    Sympathy and praise in balance,  and it should be honest.

     

    Petracca has had plenty of times to get himself fitter over the years by doing extra work away from the club on his own accord.    Just as he has done this year with some others in the US.

    The pushing and critique has caused him the question his own past mental attitude...  and he has taken it upon himself to do much more away from the club.  He asked himself for the truth, and got his own answer,  and the rest so far this preseason, seems to be showing itself.

     

    Time will tell how effective this will be,  throughout the course of the 2020 season.

     

    All the critique Demonlander's have placed onto ANB over the seasons,  has not hurt his efforts to do his best...  he has become the leader of our running brigade over the past number of years,  establishing his career through the past few years.

     

    Why can't Demonlander's see their inconsistencies based on playing favorites??? 

    Can you guys not see why this club has failed to develop its higher draft choices... because everyone tells them how good they are,  all the time.   A false sense of security undermines their mental development and efforts.

     

    Balance Balance Balance.

     

    fear of failure is a driver to improve,  to change,  for the better.

    What a load of rot.

    I'll tell you something for free. You completety overestimate the impact of the opinions of demonlanders in particular and fans more generally.

    OK...  its a lot of rot then, Bin.    fair enough you'ld know.

     

    It's all about attitudes,  and we all have impacted our kids poorly over the years,  having a detrimental effect on them, and so their careers.

    This is just nonsense on a stick. If you want a good Exhibit A as to what's going on with the players, watch the Oscar Mac interview, where he makes it clear that he ignores outside "noise", including having minimal exposure to social media.

    That looks like it would hurt ...

    Hurts a lot less than a pulled groin muscle.

    Is that a scar on the back of his leg? If so, would that be from surgery to re-attach his hamstring? It's a reminder that players really do put their bodies on the line and we often underestimate how much physical damage and discomfort players are prepared to put themselves through to achieve success.

    Maybe Bedford needs to work on his kicking 

    Gus doesn’t have much luck with this sort of stuff does he. Remember when ANB nailed him in the back of the head in a VFL game.

    That was from when he injured himself against Geelong at Docklands/Telstra Dome/Etihad Stadium/Marvel Stadium.

    • 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.
