    Apologies for the headline straight out of New Idea or Woman’s Day .

    Is there a difference between New Idea and the Herald Sun?

    I thought it was going to be that he now wishes to be known as Christine Petracca and will play for the AFLW team today.

    Yes. New idea is a more reliable source of news.

    This has a very nice ring to it - toss in Brayshaw as a receiver and we may well be away into a big and successful season.

    My first thought too :)

    Interesting take for the author to say Petracca has transformed himself so he can earn himself a large contract next year.  I'd prefer the author said that he has done this in an attempt to get the best out of himself and get the Dees back up the ladder.

    He was ripped this time last year. So what’s the transformation?

    i reckon he’ll be better this year but incrementally as he has done over the last 5 years. 

    team performance hid how good Trac was last year. If we perform well, he should dominate and be in our top 5 players easily

    So true.

    He is coming out of contract. Of course he is going to be fitter and play better. We have only been waiting years for it.

    Don't the best mids also kick goals?

    Not convinced his physical condition has been his greatest impediment... I hope he is focusing as much on keeping his mind ‘switched on’ as he is on dropping a few kilos

    I’m backing Petracca to have his best year with us, a lot of media pundits like to mention the fact that he’s in his final year of his contract so this is the time to shine. But how about the simple fact that he is getting into his peak years and as an age group our club is getting into their peak years. 

    Now is the best time for him to shine because it has the potential to bring others up along with him.

    I hope you are right!

    He could be absolute dynamite if he gets his mind right, to really go for it

    If you want a shock transformation look up what Hibberd looks like now compared to last year. Looks about 20kgs lighter.

    Has the highest ball drop in the AFL.  Drops it from head height

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

      From knocking off a Premiership contender to getting embarrassed by the winless Bombers who were on a 17 game losing streak .... Welcome Back MFCSS.
