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

All things good you are starting to see a different Petracca. You will see a smoother action and a modified follow through from him. 

He means business looking at his preseason so far. Its called climbing the ladder so to speak. Here 's hoping.

    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. 

    Really doubt Petracca will perform much higher than he has in the past. Such a wasted talent

    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. 

    Or simply growing up,  and pulling the finger/thumb out of, wherever it's been resting.

    You mean theyr're still dropping,  o_d.?

    Here's hoping it impacts his aggression and play.

    Agreed.  What we're just seeing is the darren burgess effect. Petracca should have looked this way seasons ago.

    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.

    I guess that's one way to deal with his ball drop problem. Just not the way I expected.

    I seem to be saying this a lot lately, WTF.

    I'm starting to think someone has been a bit free with the crack pipe and my favorite martian may have multiple personalities (and maybe a persona we have seen in the past).

    I'll take other's word for Petracca's body shape having changed, but before we laud Burgess and demonise Misson, maybe the bulk (unintended pun) of the scrutiny might be better placed with Petracca himself.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
