Christian Petracca



Recommended Posts

I wonder if the AFLPA review is what did/didn't happen in the 2nd qtr.  Tracc went back onto the ground at approx the 8-10 min mark. 

iirc he was left on till half time approx 20 min without an interchange.  That seems a long stint even if no injury had occurred.   We will never know what additional damage/risk occurred during that 20 min. 

The AFLPA would rightly ask questions of doctors/sports science/coach why he had no interchange and no injury/welfare check during that time. 

If the doctors (mfc and afl) left it up to Trac to come off that is a lack of care.  He was in no condition to make that decision.  A duty of care suggests they should have brought him to the bench at regular intervals.  Gawn didn't help by telling Trac to 'toughen the **** up' when Trac struggled.  Maxi's own words.

In the post match press conf Goodwin said Trac was given pain relief.

iirc the AFL review concluded the process mfc/afl doctors followed was 'adequate'.   I wonder if the process is written?  Either way I suspect the process is moot on letting a player continue and is left up to medical discretion.  Only guessing but I doubt it allows for player discretion.  Even if it does doctors can't abdicate that responsibility.

The simple question is did the doctors do everything they could to safeguard his well being in those early stages?

An interesting task for the AFLPA.

From the heady days of less than 5 minutes, the average time between posts has now slipped out to beyond 6.

There is hope.

The report here is that the AFLPA aren't satisfied with the AFL's assessment.

I feel like the bigger report here is why nothing was done about this until the CEO returned after 3 months of leave, in the middle of the season. Fair ball drop from the AFLPA here.

Hmmmm... that Petracca Parma (hard cringe) smells a lot like someone's brand is getting a little bit of a boost??

Wonder if that's part of the negotiations behind the scenes to keep him happy?

(sorry, part time sceptic/at the very least full-time critical thinker).

Anyone tried a Petracca Parma?  Good grief.

Was just looking at the menu, it’s his bolognese that adds flair to their Parma they say.

$32.90

Do folks realise The Sporting Globe is a club sponsor and it is their ad? 

Not sure why folks are complaining as it also promotes the club and God knows we can do with positive promos right now. 

The only person to comment that gets the benefits of the promo is @Bitter but optimistic

tbh I cant stomach it; too soon after the debacle.  Whilst it might be a club sponsor it was an email from the club that promotes it.

Bitter knows the value of fried food.

He would fry everything if he could, loves fried ice cream and fried bread and butter pudding.

How you feel is fine.

But when folks ridicule a product or ad simply because it has Trac's name, they are ridiculing him, the club and its sponsor. 

The club often allows sponsors to send promotional emails eg New Balance.

My mum once introduced the perplexed Brazilian that owned the milk bar / chippy round the corner from our old house the art of deep frying a meat pie and watering down the tomato sauce with vinegar. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it people.

To be fair, Mother Theresa could promote this Parma and I would still maintain it sounds awful 😂

@Demonland would you embed please? Won't work on my phone

It’s fine, the AFL senior Doctor was with our Doctor and made the decisions jointly and there were still problems in hospital, which had nothing to do with us and the AFL has ticked off on our handling of the incident.

The AFL wants this all fully checked and studied, so it doesn’t happen again. 
We are not in the gun for this one…

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
