Petracca post match interview

Calling it. Next captain after Max. 

Him or Lever clear standouts. Tracc's interview from last year on the Dyl and Friends podcast worth a listen. I forgot he spent pretty much his whole first year with Trenners in rehab. He said he idolises Jordan Lewis too

The takeaway from this interview is that this group of players knows what they want and how to get it, and that they will stay together to do it. You won't see anyone in our best 22 absconding to any other club until the job is done. They are tight with their coach and the other coaching staff. This is the beginning of an era for the MFC.

Wow.  What a mature balanced articulate young man - has the strength, power and balance to reach even greater heights, and the passion to share it with the fans.

My eye teared up too.

If he and his mate Clarrie work hard on their kicking especially set shot over the offseason they could both become all time greats  - both in the same team and age bracket.  
OMG we all owe massive thanks to the list managers and recruiters who have discovered these (and our more recent) gems. 
❤️💙❤️💙💙

I’m glad he did mention us. 

I know players hurt, and they did hurt basically from 2007 onwards uninterrupted.

But bloody hell, we hurt as well. 186, 148, losing to the Suns by ten goals and being told we got outmuscled by a team of 19 year olds (and Russel Howcroft allegedly nearly starting a riot at the pre match lunch), losing to the Lions when Roosy said we were a team waiting to be beaten (he wasn’t wrong), the St. Kilda game @Nasher mentioned where we lost in the last 30 seconds, the ‘I didn’t see that coming’ round one game of 2013.

I could go on and on. 

I’m delighted Tracc and the boys are keeping us in mind as we’ve copped a lot of shif over a period of 10 years.

Please spare us, we all know too well

As much as it's nice for Trac to say it's for the fans, the players should soak it up. Us fans have had some brilliant wins this season to saviour already and we are all desperate for a flag.

This group has turned around in 12 months to go from an inconsistent, one way running unit to the undisputed best team of the H/A season. That's an incredible achievement, one that is going unnoticed in the media. The players needed to win that game for themselves as a reward for the work they've put in. 

Now they need to take this feeling and turn it into hunger to get the ultimate prize. Drought breaking premiership players will see them all immortialized no matter what they go and do from here on out. Guys like Gawn, Trac, Oliver will likely go down as all time greats of our club if they bag this. But guys like Petty, Smith and Sparrow who found themselves in a position to go down as heroes and then the new kids like Kozzi, Jackson, Rivers and Bowey all can be premiership players within 2 years of debuting.

Just watched it again. Still made me cry 

I reckon I’ve cried more in the last 36 hours than I have in my lifetime. I have watched that final two minutes countless times and I’ve cried every single time. 
edit: just realised you were referring to the Tracc interview. Doesn’t matter though coz I cry every time I watch that too.

I am trying to find it on an old PC but I took a screenshot once of an interaction with Petracca on social media where he pretty much acknowledged the struggle and said they were trying to change things and to stay with us. If we do have success over the next few years I will print this off and get him to sign it aha. 

I felt his interview. For years when people ask who you go for and you say Melbourne you'd always get a a "oh i'm sorry" type response. Hopefully he and his band of brothers will be the ones to squash this.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres
