I am surprised they had Petracca playing 65% forward against St Kilda. I thought he played a normal split between midfield and forward last week.

The difference with the Carlton game was that he played as a full forward. This made sense given the wet conditions and he was invisible in the midfield early in the game (and Fritsch was not effective as our deepest forward).

In dry conditions, I think he is better up in the midfield and Fritsch offers us more as our primary one-on-one target inside 50.

Very interesting.  There's no doubt we're trying to get some scoring power and probably retention i50 happening from CP5.  As well as making it a difficult match up for the oppo.

I also think it's a great mix for us as it will help him to shake off any hard tags.

It also brings ANB into the mid field where his last kick inside is our best at the moment and should help improve connection rates.

It says Tracc's highest rated games were vs the Blues & the Saints.

I have his best rating as Rnd 2 vs the Hawks (6.5) and Rnd 1 vs the Doggies (6.0)

Looking back through his season ratings, although sitting at No.1 rank this year so far, his best H&A season in the red & blue to date was 2023.

He may better that this year and was on track to do so prior to about Rnd 8 before copping some heavy tags since and having to fight his way through those.  Ratings reflecting that since imv.

Petracca's H&A Season Ratings ...

2018 - 2.94

2019 - 2.62

2020 - 3.56

2021 - 4.04

2022 - 4.46

2023 - 4.70

2024 (to Rnd 11) - 4.47

essentially what cal seems to be saying here is that petracca is a superstar no matter where he plays?

captain obvious called!

this whole 'we should play trac forward all the time' theory is NEVER going to happen; he's one of the most dynamic players in the game, and he goes where he's needed at any time, be that running thru the midfield or stationed forward

he's a gun, and one of the most 'personable' players in the competition to boot

It's such a small sample size though that Cal is going with.

And all of our mids were invisible early in the game against Carlton. 

I think we still need to use Trac in the middle, but totally happy with a 60-40 or 65-35 split depending on the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
