Wouldn't it be great if the "little paper" was banned from Qld.

Yes, yes, I know about electronic editions. Not sure why anyone would bother .

I got a sneaky feeling he’s too good a player at the moment to get sucked into media street.

 

(now watch him battle for 8 possessions and 2 behinds tomorrow)

Seen a few people on Twitter tonight mention the Footy Record curse. It got another scalp tonight in Port Adelaide. 

I’d like a similar study done on Demon 2 full page spread in the Hun and the correlation with performance that round. We never back it up.

No......... this is a different  Christian Petracca where he knows  and can play the game at an elite level as he is starting to do.  

Bring the game on IMO Petrac will be at it and don't forget the confidence is high with his partner in crime being  Clarry. They compliment each other.  We have an elite midfield  now that Petrac has taken the next step .

Petrac might not like to be compared to Dusty or being known as arrogant by others but it comes with the package l believe.

EG  Dangerfield comes across as a Figjam  however l wish that he played for us being such a great player same as Martin .is.

Christian can handle the pressure  and what comes with it.   Might be interesting to see if he can handle a tag.

Looking forward to seeing how far he can take his game to.

I really don't see the point in posting articles most of us can't access. At least not without a summary of contents.

The fact that no one has posted a summary is pleasing - it means very few subscribe to that Murdoch crud.

Thanks to those who pm'd me the article

I love it he is such an honest player without being obnoxious. I love the fact he is using meditation/mindfulness hopefully he sets an example for the rest of the side to follow as I think this has been one of the keys to the Tigers recent success.

Didn't Roos and wife have meditation/mindfulness for the players during his time at the club?

 

Yes, i believe Tami came in semi regularly and did sessions with the boys.

Just what's needed.  A pump up article before an important game.

 

It showed in his first half...was on "media street". Tried to do way too much.

...but settled in the 2nd.

Agreed. Massive Hollywood vibes, but the mark and goal he kicked were class.

Just needs to focus on doing his thing and try not to get swept up in the hype. He's had a great season so far, but is overrated IMO at the moment. The commentators last night said 'how good was Petracca' after the game, but really there were a few others ahead of him last night, namely Oliver, Langdon and probably even May.

Despite all this, it's good to have a bit of hype around a few of our players. Makes them marketable and can attract sponsors.

Hope Trac keeps focusing and working hard on what's made him a much better player in the last year or so.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
