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!

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
