The expected No.1 pick’s preliminary final 439 days out from his draft is rated as one of the special bottom-age performances.

With teammate Tom Boyd injured, the 186cm Petracca walked off with a stats sheet reading nine contested marks, 23 disposals, five goals, five behinds and 210 SuperCoach points as Eastern Ranges won through to the grand final.

The explosive forward bullied his senior Geelong defenders physically and verbally, took high marks, shredded tackles and was creating — if not kicking — goals.

“I haven’t seen too many individual performances better than that at under-18 level,” one recruiter said.

Wow. That is a game and a half from Petracca
 
He collapsed at training yesterday and was unable to complete the running exercises.
 
Will be a star, but after what's happened with the draft over the years with the dees, would laugh non stop for a year if he turned out no good.
