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

 

 

I’d really appreciate a PM of the article text. 
 

cheers

Received and appreciated Fella’s.


 

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)

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 .

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?

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
