genuinely can't believe we have three players of the quality of petracca, oliver, and gawn in our side at the same time...

...let alone adding may, lever, salem, rivers, brayshaw, viney, and pickett to those three...

Extended version is very insightful of Trac's thinking. Thanks for posting


Just watched it on Utube, great interview and great mindset, I love the way Tracc is so honest and doesn’t mind going deep with the answers, very honest, he lives for these finals games and yes we are indeed fortunate to have Christian Petracca playing for us. Thank goodness the Saints didn’t take him Pick 1.!!!!

Was certainly an excellent and enjoyable interview.

 

Fingers crossed that Christian Petracca is fired up for a HUGE game against Collingwood next week in the Qualifying Final! 🤞

 

GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

 

There have been times where I've heard people bang on about "we should have taken/chased such and such player" and said people have played up those players skills/physical attributes. I've been grateful that we have looked beyond that and also sort players who exhibit character and intelligence. For there is resilience and strength in players like Trac beyond skills/physical attributes. Yes, the skills/physical attributes are a must but when you're in the trenches give me a player full of character and determination and combine that with someone who knows there fears but can perform regardless and you have a receipt for a team of of great players. Trac in this interview exhibits all the qualities of a leader that you want up and coming players to emulate. 

The surface level critique of Trac when he was drafted was that he was arrogant. I would now describe him as self aware. Completely comfortable with talking honestly about himself - his strengths but also his weaknesses. 
Could there be a better personality trait for a professional athlete to help them deal with constant criticism and praise and use what they need to improve themselves? A bad misread by St kilda and it's been our great fortune ever since.

Can't help but feel we would be minor premiers if he wasn't injured this year.

Not to worry. He’ll kick the goals to win us the flag instead.

Has a couple of months off then comes back in against Swans to kick five. Not too shabby.

He may well be the x factor in this year's finals.

He’ll kick 15 goals for us 

Have long thought he is our next captain.  Looks like he is being groomed for it. 

He may not fill Max's 'Big Shoes' but will be a wonderful successor to the great man.


It's been a great little series so far.

So Hamish McLaughlin is just a gun for hire here, right? He has no Melbourne allegiance does he?

Where can I find the others in the series?

If you go through the MFC YouTube Channel you'll keep up to date with them. There have only been 3 videos in the series. I don't expect they'll interview Clarry, although they should.

Here is Jack Viney - 

Here is Max -

GL you'll note is the original host and HM has hosted the last two - on the same day as well, so I wonder if they did a 3rd or 4th interview with HM to get bang for buck in this series.

  • 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.

    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?
