By the way of course he needs time and will be excellent in a few years, but seems like heaps of people thought he would burst out the blocks. Giving him a set position might help.

Im not sure how he could have been a let down, more of people on here having unrealistic expe tations of him.

Kid misses 12 months of footy with a knee reco, then has a limited pre season because of a broken toe. Now he is a disappointment after only breaking into the team in round 6 as he probably wont win the rising star.

Knee reco is usually a 2 year injury, 1 year to get back to footy, and another year to build confidence. In Trac's case, he's also had to contend with it being his debut season. I've seen more than enough to know he's going to be a gun. Needs to work on his set shots, but his kicking in general play I'm pretty sure is him just rushing himself, once he's more comfortable with another 20-40 games under his belt, won't be an issue.

Most of that was off the mark, but Danger brownlow and our wins/ladder position are most likely to be on the mark this week (Port beat GC and we lose to Geelong, putting us 11th).

He has come off a serious knee injury and is still a kid, he has shown plenty. I'd say kicking has been his only poor part of his game, and even then his field kicking has been brilliant sometimes and average at others. His set shots though I completely agree, they are very poor. He doesn't even look like getting close to kicking a goal with them ATM.

His disposal counts and game involvement haven't been helped by the fact he has spent a lot of time forward. I doubt our coaching staff will do it, but if they want to be inventive, tell Trac this week he is following Danger around for the whole game. He is the same type of player and will learn a lot playing on him.

I'm tracking not too badly. :eek:
 
Thing about Trac is he has shown alot of agility and confidence on his knees for a bloke a year after an ACL
To me he has looked extremely tired for a while now I'm not sure why he wasn't rested at some point during the season
He still takes some strong over head marks and kicks some bullet passes

What? Yesterday was a one off, Petracca has been elite with the ball this year. He just needs to learn to be more arrogant and selfish. Gives off the ball to teammates when he doesn't need to.

I'm clearly pretty poor at this prognostication thing. The occasional hit, but nothing that you couldn't chalk up to random dart throwing vs actual insight.

Someone posted on the main board a list of stats of all the players eligable for the rising star this year. Petracca was the stand out player, he's an absolute gem

Cool

Premiers: Sydney
Norm Smith: Franklin
Minor Premiers: West Coast
Coleman: Hogan
Brownlow: Dangerfield. No, stuff that. Fyfe
Rising Star: Milera
Team that will come 9th on the ladder: Richmond
Demon Wins: 10
Demon ladder position: 12th
Demons B&F: Watts (Killer, mega, blossom etc)
Outrageous Melbourne related claim: Jack Watts to kick 39 goals in 2016
Outrageous non Melbourne claim: GWS finish ahead of Hawthorn

BTW: I'm not sure how if Jesse gets the Coleman plus Watts kicks 39 we manage only 10 wins unless we sort of staple Garlett to the ground or other teams just kick massive numbers. I went with instincts though. I think 2016 will be weird.

Edit: given the general theme of my prediction, I would like please to remove Milera and insert Oliver. Thank you for your patience

Your outrageous claim for 2016 (non-melbourne related): Money makes AFL football go around, Money equalises football and not a draft, you cant "nail" a draft without investing large sums of money into your whole Football Department ie Recruting & Development. Drafting department will become defunct infavour of large investments inside your Trading department.
My unfortunate claim for 2016: Paul Roos will leave us
