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.

Could Carlton try to use Pick 3 for Petracca? Would you take it?

No

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?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
