? 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?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
