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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
