Congratulations for the 100th game on Monday. 

You have worked hard to improve yourself and your game every year from debut in 2016.  In every way you do yourself and the red and blue proud.

Would love it to be at the 'G'.  One of the sad parts of this season has been to not be able to watch your talents live.

Hoping the team brings the win home for you.

Congratulations  Christian 

Love the way you have been going about the year. You have been building to the 100th  game and playing the best footy of your career.  

Your next 100 will be even better.  I thank the Lord that you play for our great club.

Despite our 7-7 record, still in line for a top 5 Brownlow finish and an AA jumper.

Has taken his game to another level this year, which very few other MFC players have done.

There is a continued expectation on him to lead us. It's important we all remember he's only just now reaching his 100th game and is only 24 years old.

So many comparisons get drawn between him and Dustin Martin. IIRC, Martin's entrance to the AFL's elite was 2016 (first time he won RIchmond's B&F and made the AA team). That was his 7th season. Petracca's currently in his 6th season, one of which he missed entirely through injury.

I’ve spent many a match at the G telling my family and friends that ‘one day’ Pettacca will break games open and with consistency. 
Oh to have been there this year to see it in person.

Congratulations Christian, you always liked to mingle with the fans on Family Days, something we appreciated. 

After you win the Brownlow, I guess those days will come to an end! We will have to queue. ?

Well done to Trac, he’s been a definite bright spot this year in amongst inconsistency from many teammates. 

He can get better, which is scary for the competition. Really hope he celebrates with a win.

Well done Christian. Probably the only player on the list to have improved from last year, which is a testament to the work he has done. My only hope is that he remains in red and blue once his contract ends in 2022. He will be a restricted free agent then, and I can see him seeking team glory elsewhere.

Congratulations on 100 games Christian Petracca!

You are having a wonderful year and I feel you can only get better if you keep up the hard work! The sky is the limit for you!

 

I hope you get to wear a few premiership medallions around your neck for the Demons and I look forward to you playing another 200+ games for the club.

Has done it the hard way after tearing that ACL in his first preseason and it's obvious it has taken real commitment to reach the level he's now at.  As others have mentioned, it's scary when you think he probably still has another level to go to. 

His best this season has been pretty bloody good, but I do feel like the side in general, he does need to work a bit on consistency, which is hopefully both him and the side will develop over the next 25 - 50 games (I can't help but think that his personal consistency and that of the teams are interdependent).

Asides from his obvious on feild talent, Christian has always given the impression that he'd be a rippa of a bloke to have around the club.  Congratulations Christian - look forward game 100, 200 in the red & blue and beyond and hopefully a few premierships along the way.

Despite the club’s failings, it’s pretty bloody nice to have a team with three genuine stars of the comp. Of those three (Gawn, Clarry and Trac for those playing at home), this is the guy that has the most superstar potential. Another couple of years of this level and we will have a Dusty /Danger/Fyfe level player in our midst. Been a long time between drinks since we’ve had that.

Congrats to the big guy. Please stick around for the next 100.

Nothing on the club website yet.  Anyone seen a tweet or fb post?  Hope they don't forget!

Its a shame border closures prevent this little guy from Tassie being their to watch the 100th as he was for Christian's 1st.

Hadn't played a game yet had time and care to share his opportunity with a great kid.  No accolades sought.  It was Lucas' dad that let the media know about Christian's befriending of his son.

    TOUGH KENT'S TRAINING REPORT I journeyed out to Casey today and was fortunate enough to watch two quarters of match simulation. Here is a brief rundown of random occurrences/thoughts. First of all, there was no Jake Lever (ankle) or Joel Smith involved. AMW is still in rehab and was running strongly. It was Blue (Probables) v Red (Possibles) JvR was in blue. Ben Brown, T-Mac, Hibbo and Tom Sparrow were in red. Gus Brayshaw started at half back for blue and stayed there all game.
