Christian Petracca



Recommended Posts

Trac has recently got really involved in welfare work and helping the unfortunate

He has recently toured some of the most down-trodden and needy institutions in Melbourne

He will dedicate tonight's gnocci recipe to North

I actually thought you planted a fake story to see if the grubs would run with it.

Sorry if I disappointed you, the convo was not fake

Sam McClure loathes Melbourne.

Who hurt him at Primary School? This is deep seeded pathological hatred.

I remember when that [censored] who is a Carlton supporter was fooled by Clayton Oliver pretending he wanted to go there to get a big deal from Melbourne. He quadrupled down on this even when it was pointed out he signed a huge deal about a month later.

And I’m questioning the validity of that conversation.

If you don’t like it, don’t post it. 

Wait what?

We're now telling people not to post or pass on any information they may have been told because it simply doesn't suit your narrative?

Seriously, this place has the lost the plot with the amount of sensitive and insecure individuals that cry at the drop of a hat when a journo reports some of late regarding our players.

It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not but to completely slam someone purely for passing information is genuinely pathetic. 

Thanks @Moonshadow for passing on the info. And yes you are 100% spot on being a normality that players do meet with other clubs and tour facilities. Clearly @adonski has heard similar rumours of him touring North facilities so there mudt be some smoke somewhere. Doesnt mean hes going there though.

Happens all the time. I know for a fact Scott Lycett from Port Adelaide did a medical and toured our facilities last year but but no one from the media barely reported that. He turned us down eventually citing that he felt his body wasn't going to stand up to another rigorous year of AFL footy.

Interesting. Would have been handy to know for those that rubbished us for not chasing Lycett or another ruck...

Where the hell did I say that?

I asked a question relating to the timing of the visit and how it got past the media. 
Comparing Trac to Lycett is laughable btw. 

At no point did I say it shouldn’t be posted. Only that if you post rumours you should be prepared to have them questioned. 

You can post what you want but if there’s no proof then prepare to be questioned for it.

Pretty sure it was mentioned on here

It was. I was told he failed the medical. 
Goes to show you how inaccurate info spreads.

I posted that an employee of NMFC had told me that Trac had done a tour of their facilities. That's it.

If I had known that for you I had to record the conversation and ask him for id as proof of employment, then I would've done so. I'll remember to do that next time 🤦

It would make sense give they're one of the very few teams that could actually afford him/have some chance of completing a trade, i just don't see why he'd leave us, for them to be honest.

I’m not going to reveal my sources, so don’t ask, but Christian did a tour of the Yarraville-Seddon Eagles facilities last week. He was very impressed by what he saw, including access to the Westgate, and public transport options on both the Werribee and Williamstown lines.

His reservations are parking around Anderson street, and the lack of blockbuster movies showing at The Sun cinema. He does however rate the cinemas Choc Tops.

And he doesn't get the whole 35mm thing.

I have no doubt they did. Doesn’t mean they told you the truth. 
I’ve been told plenty of BS from people in the know too.

Petracca will stay as even if he wanted to definitely go, what sort of deal would satisfy us? And is a satisfactory deal even possible?

We can always hold him to his contract anyway

We've already lost a topliner in Brayshaw, a handy utility in Smith and I can't see us getting much for ANB (who is one of the first players written down on the team sheet)

I feel the media is just pushing 5 articles a day on this when they’ve had no new info apart from the original disgruntled report.

Goodwin again said today that Trac is staying and will be here for 5 more years but that wasn’t reported anywhere. Instead, more rubbish hypothetical trade articles on him leaving.

Ahh good old Yarraville Seddon, that’s where Josh Giddy played his footy as a ruckman. Obviously decided on basketball

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
