    If plugger can get in, then Trac needs to take this decision criteria to the tribunal.

    When does the footy start again?

    In a good side he could win a Brownlow.

     

    But, seriously, if he maintains anything like what he's done in the last couple of seasons, he's a walk-up-start.

    Consider the likes of Richardson, Hayes, Koutafides, Anthony Stevens - they are outstanding players but Petracca has them covered for sheer footballing effect.

    The only consideration is whether Petracca will have the same 'gravitas' and perceived team impact as some of the characters that have received the modern-era entries in the Hall of Fame. That includes a lot of different kinds of people but the shared feature is that they were visibly outstanding for long periods.

    By now, everyone knows who Petracca is and he is part of conversations about football. If he holds a consistent picture in people's mind (the laughing beast?) and becomes part of the 'personality' of the era, then obviously he'll be a hall of famer.

    I'm more interested in Goodwin being promoted to Legend status, because that would only happen if Melbourne as a whole goes stomp-stomp-stomp for another few years. :D

    • Demonland changed the title to Petracca: Hall of Famer?

    I still think it's a bit too early to tell. I don't like to make such arrogant predictions either.

    After 5 or 6 Premierships with the Melbourne Demons, multiple Norm Smith medals, perhaps a Brownlow medal or two, a few more Best & Fairests and playing over 300+ games for us I will consider him worthy....😉

    …and a pint of his blood and a promise from him that he surrenders his firstborn?

    And Oliver. And Gawn.

    it’s just a matter of time.

    Shouldn’t that be Tracc-ing ? 🙃
