Who has The X-Factor?

17 – CHRISTIAN PETRACCA (MELBOURNE) 209 POINTS

If this bloke ever puts it all together, watch out!

With 132 score involvements and 27 tackles inside 50, Petracca was serviceable in a struggling Demons outfit in 2019. He played every game and whilst a goal per game is nothing to write home about, his overall contributions to the team were some of Melbourne’s best.

Have we just seen peak Petracca, or does he have another gear to go to? I reckon he does, and is capable of much better than the two 3+ goal-games in 2020.

He should have fixed his ball drop and skills, in the years since he came to us.  He has wasted many a year to date.

 I feel he is turning his mind around a new corner.  About time.

 

Barassi would have had him in the two's, until he sorted himself out.   And he would have gotten serious or left, before now.

 

... I feel and hope your right,  in that he could be ready,  to turn on his mojo and show us all what he's worth.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
