Real Champions excell during September. 
Christian is one of them.


9th in the Brownlow, i mean really. That award has become a fashion parade. 
He could have 4-5 Norm’s before his career is up

There is just too much of a spread of midfield talent at the Dees right now for one of our boys to get the brownlow. They are all stealing votes from each other. You really want to be a standout midfielder in a team of role players. That doesn't invalidate the brownlow just means it isn't necessarily going to the best all round player. Our boys are just going to have to make do with premiership medals and a smattering of Norm Smith's and coach's awards.

    Bruce McAvaney commented on Petracca's Grand Final performance, apparently on SEN this morning:

    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/14/mcavaney-lauds-petraccas-astonishing-grand-final-performance/

    The look on Petracca’s face was very telling after kicking the great dribbler in the third quarter. He had the look of someone possessed by supernatural powers. Not over celebrating but something demonic and unstoppable about his expression. Overall I believe he was shaded slightly by Oliver over the season but delivered his best on GF day. Oliver was almost as good as well. But this was Petracca’s day.

    He is our Kobe Bryant, he might not hit every shot every week but when he hits his shot the world rattles.

    He is more like Dangerfield than Dusty, but simply stronger and a tad better. 
    But ultimately the big games set Trac and Dusty apart. They thrive on the big occasions whereas Danger tries too hard and his class drops (which he lacks sometimes anyway). 
     

    I still find it hard to believe I’ve finally got champions on my team. For years I’ve talked to mates about them having Pendlebury and Buckley or Hird or Robert Harvey or more recently Dusty. I’ve been envious. I had Stynes growing up but even that isn’t the same, he was a workhorse. 
     

    Having Trac and Oliver and Gawn in the headlines week after week. Mates talking me about being jealous of our midfield and how good x or z is….it’s a foreign feeling, it’s about time and it’s awesome.

    Tracc saved his best game for The Grand Final, (the Preliminary Final was pretty hot too)

    These are the Players that should be signed to Long Term Contracts. What an inspiration he will be for young kids coming in

    Tracc and Clarry will be legends of the Melbourne Football Club

    Brothers in Arms

    Clearly Trac has now been elevated to an elite player.  He has the on field and off field qualities to take our footy club into the stratosphere in the next few years.  
     

    TRAC IS A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    It still takes some getting used to seeing oppo fans drop his name alongside Dusty, Danger, Bont and Fyfe. He’s now in that bracket and he’s far from done.

    WOW.  When fwd he is playing like an opportunistic small forward; doesn't compete for marks and stays down front and square:  22 of those 29 goals were from snaps within about 25 mt of goal.

    The speed at which he gets the ball onto his boot and finds space/angles through a pack, for the ball to go through is phenomenal.  Incredible goal sense.

    I can see the last few years of his contract when his midfield days are done we can just park him in the goal square and let him do his thing.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
