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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
