I was wondering what was going on when TMac and Nev both publicly said they want to stay and hadn’t heard from the club, now we know they were locking up Petracca first.

Taste of premiership glory for the kid and he is licking his lips for more. Hope he adds to his trophy cabinet soon!

 

[RandB]

Good.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Just

 

[PerfectFooty]

Good News indeed, here's a shitty limerick to celebrate

There once was a man called Trac

Who just signed a new contract

He has some fight

and kicks on the right

Under the Friday Night Lights

I think it stands for Xceptionally pointless.

 

[Proper Gander]

Stands for X-ray. Utterly see-through AFL scalping project.

i thought the X was from Extortion, by forcing clubs to play in it

 

[LeverPuller]

I think he's here guys and gals.

That first quarter...bloody hell.

 

[schmuttt]

The similarities between him and Martin are uncanny, Martin is quicker Trac better overhead.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Having a proper look at Petracca, s**t he's huge and has presence.

Even Clayton Oliver is thick AF.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

After that first quarter he’s probably my new favourite player with Oliver a close second. You just know something’s going to happen when they’re around the ball. When was the last time we had one player with this much ability, let alone a duo?

I've said this for a while but he needs to improve his kicking. The weekend was testament to this. 3 behinds, were arguably worse than Gawny's miss.

He has 39.20 for his career...

His first year was crapm second year he couldn't miss and then on the weekend he wasn't great.
I'd be tipping the first year and Sunday were the exception not the rule

Yeah he’s a very good kick of the footy. It’s not a concern

They weren't easy shots at goal though.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Most concerning is that he didn’t look inside from the boundary and didn’t try to pull the ball back to the hot spot when he went for the grubber.

Throw in Jeffy’s mid air hack, Gawns rushed pack snap and Oliver playing on, we didn’t play the percentages and lacked a bit of composure in the last qtr.
