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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
