A player who has zero patience for his career. 

He's success hungry now and I expect every single player to be having this same mindset.

Just a champion growing in front of our eyes.

This is a loyal, hard-nut Demon if ever there was one. Focus and intent.

 

There is the example….

Thankyou Christian, but do take a break to rest both body and mind…

some players deserve the long contract 


What else you going to do in lockdown.  AFL players are the lucky ones to be able to still do what they love doing.  Petracca would be like a caged Lion locked up at home.

Might as well lock him in for the Brownlow now.

 

Ok so this is a segue into the burning question who is going to be our high performance manager? I want us to be the fittest and least injured team in the league.


Watching Trac mature over the past 2 years has been nothing short of astonishing. I feel like he knows how us fans feel and wants to be our hero, our legend. 100% invested and emotionally connected now.

Could go down as one of our greats of all time.

As the only MFC Norm Smith medallist ever, I already put him in our list of greats.

Great to see. I am sure he will have an extra break during Christmas too.

I think Christian Petracca has now had a taste of success and wants more (Premierships)!

Hopefully, many of the rest of the Demons players have the same attitude so that when they return to Pre-Season training they are fit and ready to go from the start.

I saw on social media that Luke Jackson has also been training during the off season too which is wonderful to see!

The impression I get is that the Melbourne players loved being part of Premiership success and now have a real hunger for more of it. As Paul Roos once said, you need to want to be great. It doesn't just happen for you. Anyway, we shall look forward to what happens next year in Season 2022 for the Demons!

I think he is already there 

broke the Curse. Won the Norm Smith

that said, I expect him to achieve much more greatness


Could be a handy player once he hits his prime.

What an example he is setting for the club, especially the younger boys. Absolutely love the dedication and determination. 😤

As my grandfather would have joked, why has it taken him 9 whole days?

Is this our new Barassi leading the club forward?

 


I heard he cycled to Esperance, swam the Bight to Adelaide and then ran back into Melbourne for a post season triathlon - there's your 9 days.

That's actually not a joke.

Interviewer in 2015: Why have you suddenly hit your prime?

Todd Goldstein: Seven pre-seasons.

Meanwhile at Bailey Smith’s Instagram page....

Gotta strike while the irons hot. He wants to be a Hall of Famer, multiple premierships with a Norm Smith will get him legend status.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
