    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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
