Wash your mouth out with soap P2J! You obviously did not see Flower play. You really need to watch some Robbie highlights, he was sublime.

Did you see Flower play? The distance between Flower and Petracca at his best is marginally less than a light year.

Offensive to Robbie. There will only ever be one Robbie in all of footy histoy. No one that I have seen in over 60 years comes close in skill and outright ability in a body that was not made for footy.

Even more so that Robbie, unlike all the others, played in a poor team whereas the others named all played in powerful, successful teams that won premierships. They each had plenty of support where Robbie had almost none.

As for Petracca, the others named could regularly win matches almost on their own a stength that Petracca, although dominant at times, has yet to master. When it comes, then we can talk about comparisons.

 

Yeah I saw him play he was amazing.

Do you think hes going to be the best Demon forever?  Nostalgia is a powerful thing I guess

The sad part about Flower was for most of his years the VFL only televised 2 games a weekend. And the MFC were mostly poor so we did not get alot of televised games so the footage of him by comparison to today's players is limited. Not even the general foot ball followers saw a lot of him. Except for his last year he never played finals. Finals are where reputations are really built.

Find some Vic games 

when he played amongst the very best he was still one of, if not the best - consistently 

hard to imagine anyone getting close IMO 

 

Given our depleted midfueld it puts more pressure on Trac.

The bloke is really turning out to be what we all hoped for and hopefully his trajectory gives us our own dusty very soon.

It's an impossible hypothetical to evaluate, so I'm not going to disagree but Richmond were all over Geelong in the second half. The result seemed inevitable.

I'm not trying to suggest that match winners don't exist but that a team's overall performance isn't defined by one player.

Without Dusty, Richmond would still be a very strong side. 

Sure but they wouldn’t of one 3 Premierships

Our whole development programme has issues... look at the dogs Bailey Smith 20 yo vs any of our early picks who are no we’re near him

Seriously Queen Roost?


Guess Slobbo has to simplify things so much that the readers of Murdoch's rags can comprehend that if Goodwin doesn't make finals he probably won't have a job...

Concepts like the team was not good enough are too complex and beyond Rupert's readers' comprehension!

Petracca is now a 'star vehicle' and he will be woven into the narrative at every possibility. Channel 7 and Fox will do it too.

The only thing I like about these articles is that I hope it makes Clayton furious that he’s been overtaken. I love him when he gets fired up.

Clarry is still the No.1 player at the MFC IMV and has been for a few years now.

Tracc is icing when he is on and does take things to another level in patches but not as consistent in general or as effective at extracting/spreading the pill as Clarry.

Yes he may not ever be the extractor that Clarry is at present nor need to be.  He is a great foil/spreader and finisher slightly more biased towards outside play/work and generally a more effective /.dangerous player when pushing forward.  But he still has a way to go in the consistency stake to become a genuine champion and over take Clarry at the MFC, assuming he stays.

And i would argue the same vs Robbie.  Robbie was almost always "on" and in most cases no one could touch him in his "standard" game form let alone when he was firing on all cylinders.  Robbie was super elusive, had both sides covered including by hand and finished off most of his good work by foot.  Could also take a great over head and the odd specky.  Pure silk.  Tracc is close when he is on but still a fair gap IMHO.

Would have / should have etc is correct.  It's often abbreviated to would've / should've which clearly confuses some people as it then sounds like would of / should of.  You can block me as well if you like but you'd still be wrong.

Nothing like pouring the pressure on the kid, I feel for him when he is not the problem it is about ten of his mates that are the problem.

Not the point Pickett he is expected to be super human to make up for a large number of team mates who are average on their good days.

Well dont worry OD,  because Trac is superhuman. 

He will carry the team with him like the great midfielders do.

What's bailey Smith got to do with Petracca?

Not sure what being blocked is about, or why, but fine. 

It means he will no longer see your posts.

 

Not his best game for us today. Played within himself, lacked a bit of confidence. We need his swagger if we're to beat the saints next week

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
