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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
