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

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
