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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
