I can't believe after the last 7 years people are still talking about Petrecca etc as 'guns' when he is a potential gun. how many times should we get burnt by assuming these kids will be a Judd or Dangerfield? Im not saying we should trade out all picks but we need to treat all picks as a risk. With top 5 picks you have about 50% chance of a very good or star player. the other 50% are either just ok or injured or just no good. (not basing this on any evidence :-) ) so the question is, are these guys good enough to warrant us taking the risk on, or is there better players on AFL lists we can trade in? Is petrecca as good as a Whitfield/Treloar or more of a O'rourke/toumpas. glad im not making the call!!

so he shanks a few. have a look at the stats on the melbourne website. 1%ers he is double anyone else on our list! that double cross/viney etc. he is a great stopper and still so young. didnt hear anyone complain about his decision making in the last minute of the Dons match when he took a risk and ran the ball through the corridor to help set up salems goal. i like how he takes risks and he will get better with this. we have a lot bigger problems than tommy mac
