? DANGER SIGNS

The signs Christian Petracca is charting the same career trajectory as one of the AFL's premier on-ballers.

Stats show Christian Petracca is charting Patrick Dangerfield’s rise to KFC SuperCoach stardom

Stuck behind pay-well, but not surprising that he's statistically similar to Danger and a few others. Classic mid-forward type. He's been good for a few years, but has the potential to be great. Hopefully increased fitness and the move into the midfield properly will help him realise his potential and become great.

    Rumor has it Petracca wants to play more midfield and was disgruntled it wasn't happening. Club said he wasn't fit enough and he'd get more midfield time if he increased his fitness. Looks like he's increased his fitness over summer and so the club are giving him the midfield time he wants.

    Win Win! Trac is a weapon!

    And he could still get quite a bit fitter, and still lose 2 to 3 Kgs.

    He is doing the right things and has trimmed down to a good playing weight  during the preseason.

    According to the stas pages he is the same weight at 96 Kgs?   Maybe he shed some puppy fat, and put on some more muscle.?

    The Key to me is the change in attitude, and newfound maturity.  Lets all hope he takes on more responsibility in the team as well, and starts to lead a little.

    If we didn't get a deal done we would have a handful of clubs offering Petracca serious dollars

    And maybe the club realised that with Tracca turning over a new leaf this season so far,  that too much noise from other clubs could distract him from his new focus,  and potential improvements.

    @Mach5 you've got to be happy with that comparison...

    What’s that saying? A lion doesn’t waste his time worrying about the opinions of idiots or something?

    Yes, great little doco series. I’d be more impressed if I hadn’t been calling for exactly that for about 5 years now. Not a groundbreaking concept, and they’ve been making the videos for years for the foundation heroes, but it’s great to see the club do something of merit. Is this what Pert has been spending all his time working on?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
