    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!

    The failure of straight sets will drive this group and coaching staff to never experience that feeling again.

    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. 😎👍

    These are the types of blokes we have in our side! Passionate, determined and competitive. Gotta love the work ethic from the bull!

    If the lab clones him do we automatically get Petracca V2 or does he go into the draft?

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
