Petracca in the Lab


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Really like the way this Petracca bloke moves, treadmill or no treadmill. Looks like he's been going at it for a while in this session, and isn't it great to see him operating this way - hammer and tongs - at this stage of the next season. This bloke does not compete with his mate Clarrie, he just ensures that he is in the best possible condition that he can be and takes it all on (including the physical testing) from his own inspiration and volition. Gotta admire his inputs to our Club; professional endeavour and focus. Onyer, Tracca!

I am glad Christian Petracca is such a driven and professional footballer for the Demons.

I hope he is enjoying his holiday in Europe and getting plenty of rest and relaxation too. 😎👍

Just in case the Australian Taxation Office is monitoring Demonland, clearly Petracca was not on a holiday at all. His travel costs were entirely directed toward high performance training with this photo the proof.

Like he said as an 18 yo, I want to be the best in the league.!!

To think, many of us scoffed at the assumptive self-confidence back then. We have been taught a lesson. Heil, Tracca.

The Red Bull nutritionist recommends schnitzel und strudel. 

But schnitzel is Austrian...make it bratwurst sautéed in onions and horseradish with a little Dusseldorf mustard to accompany. :-)

Great to see him working hard in the off season. Great attitude 

i think I recall him saying he probably overdid it last year I’m terms of continuing to train on and not resting properly before preseason. I hope he makes sure he puts his feet up and properly recharges before season 2023.

My mouth is watering.

( In berlin for the first and only time, put our cases in our room, walked down the street and into the first cafe we could find.

Me : Excuse me is there any German food on the menu?

Waiter : No sir, this is an italian restaurant.)

Does anyone know what Trac is actually doing?

Great having Red Bull on the sponsorship team if we get great cross promos like this!

Hi Buck. As long as they don't buy your club and rename it RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg or New York Red Bulls and change the kit to their corporate colours. They are despised by the other Bundesliga clubs for this very reason. 

German clubs are supposed to be 50%+1 owned by their fans so that no company can have a controlling interest in their decision making process. Red Bull got around this by purchasing what was then a lower league amateur team in Leipzig, limiting it's membership to just 21 people, many of who are unknown but suspected to be associated to the company so they could control it by proxy.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
