Petracca post match interview

[Mickey 4,744]

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

Christian has matured leaps and bounds over the last few years, he should be extremely proud of himself. Champion bloke, he absolutely bleeds red and blue.

Very nice and heartfelt I/V

Hope we hear the same type of thing in 4 weeks 

[Flower Magic 776]

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

May's interview on SEN during the week was as good as any I listened to, and then this! Wow! 

[MurDoc516 1,529]

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.

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.
