    Uber professional..

    But that contraption looks like a medieval torture device  😳

    He will come out breathing fire next year.  Can't wait to see him play again.

    That's great to see and gratifying (Tracca on the apparatus)

    The one thing that all A Grade elite players have in common is personal pride ... they want to be the best and ego's do play a part

    So how are Clarrie, Viney & Tracca going to react to the addition of a couple of top end midfield draft picks who may be on their way to becoming elite?   

    It will be competitive ... full on in fact. Just the way the coach will want it

    It's probably the first time in their careers that Trac and Clarry have had high end midfield talent at their own level come into the club through the draft, i suspect they'll quickly become big brother figures and mentors for these young guys.

    The way Trac is training he could be one of the most feared people on Earth.

    I think Uber professional is an apt description and was probably the source of the friction. One thing is obvious the whole club needs to be as uber professional which will require everyone to work as hard as Trac this off season to get our house in order.

    Funny what happens when you put the hard work in during the off-season.

    If you were clearing him, you would take it as PART of a deal.

    TDK and 3 would be something you might look at and SDK comes out of contract next year.

    You might get a steak knives Matt Kennedy as well.

    Not happening, just answering your question.

    Might be worth putting a bet on Christian Petracca to win the Brownlow Medal at the Demons next year in 2025?

    Gamble responsibly of course.

    Fitness nerd Ted looks at this and immediately what jumps out is considering he's had an extended period of essentially limited activity and low heart rate for his health reasons, his body weight % is still clearly extremely low which shows that Trac is absolutely elite, even among elite company for discipline, diet and sticking to his off field aspects of being a professional athlete. 

    maintaining a body shape like he has is an extremely difficult task for 99.9% of people unless you have ridiculous genetics.

    I am 8 years younger than Nadal, but in spite of this I still managed watch and follow his tennis journey from 2004 and the way he has been able to chisel out his physique whilst maintaining the aerobic and strength durability through 15+ different kinds of injuries is just unreal.

    Looking at Trac now, he is cut from the same cloth. I’m a straight guy, but I can’t stop staring…. I was fairly optimistic for 2025, but looking at the work Petracca is putting in, I am almost certain we will bounce straight back into top 4 calculations.

    Surely the club would have learnt some valuable lessons and use the off season troubles as fuel to attack 2025 head on.

    Wow we have our Christian Petracca back, what a huge effort Tracca, with a lot of luck and hard work from from the rest of our group we could have a huge ‘25 and beyond.

    Same here, @Billy.  I drink the six pack after my morning workout.

    They could try and make the offer, then watch while Melbourne say "no thanks".

    I'm not going to go all gooey-eyed over 'athlete does training' in itself, but I am feeling positive about Petracca having this chance to reset mentally.

    That program goes into astonishing levels of analysis of breath, blood, wattage outputs and probably stool samples as well. They also have multiple cycles of previous records to refer to and give Trac feedback on every aspect of his body.

    To be away from routines, pushing yourself under precision monitoring and guidance, and getting instant feedback on how your body is going - it seems like an ideal way for any player to restore confidence after a major injury.

    Got to wonder if something like this should become a common offering for players almost like the concussion baseline test. Maybe the special feature of new players' second pre-season?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
