    Trac is trac. For me best player in the afl. Most complete, technically and strength wise, imagine if he scored all his shots as well.

    Yea as bad as his set shots are you kinda of just accept it cos he's so damn good.

    Watching him burst out of the centre with the pill is just pure pleasure.

    Hopefully a Brownlow year for him with another Norm and cup.

    I'm not greedy.

    He must nail more goals to compliment all the hard work he does 

    Goal accuracy is his achilies heal up till now

    I must admit that I love Christian Petracca our outright best player in 2023, let’s hope that he has another huge year in 2024 and  he gets back to finishing off the majority Of his opportunities.!!

    Still have to pinch myself when it comes to what he's accomplished. Doesn't feel that long ago when we were wondering if he'd get there.

    Bring on another big season and a Charlie to rubber stamp it.

    Theres been a bit of discussion about Tracs kicking and mentioning his high ball drop. These fantastic shots of 666 show that to still be the case while other players have both low and high.

    It des seem that the high ball drop is more likely when a quick kick is actioned and the player is less balanced. Could the nature of Trac as a burst player be the seed for his high ball drop and the key fo his inaccuracy?

    Thank you st Kilda 

    If they had have picked Petracca, who might we have picked?  Remembering that Hogan was at the club so we might not have picked McCartin.  There again, we may well have drafted him to accompany Hogan

    But Watts & Dawes were at the club as was T-Mac but Tom hasn't ventured forward as yet, that happened in 2017

    De Goey went at pick #5 in that draft so it could gave been him (along with Brayshaw)

    Jarrod Pickett went at pick 4 to the Giants and ended up being a bust (but we only know that in hindsight of course)

    Nevertheless, it was a real sliding doors moment

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
