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.

  • 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.
