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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
