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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
