Toast Petrie - star!

[scottywiper]

To play like he has after a year out is incredible.
Is a powerful force up forward.
For so many years, he ha been denied the chance to play as a forward target, and now he is he is revelling.
A genuine star.

Brilliant mark & goal. That was seriously a 1 in 1000 chance and he nailed it. Drew really loves to get up for the milestone games, loves his team and loves his mates.

P.S. Top camera work there to follow that goal through.

Absolute gun. Career best form?

By the way, kid in green jacket, front row - my son. Boomer gave him his autographed cap after the game, too. Hasn't stopped raving about it!

He was great today.

Knock ons, attracting a crowd, competing hard, marking kick-ins. Could have kicked 5.

Loved his game.

Drew Petrie is North Melbourne.

 

[The Zebra]

His presence out there is insane.

Has close to the best work rate in the league.

Lucky kid (and Dad).

p.s. When he grows out of it, buy him a blue and white jacket.

 

[Pilkingbod]

He got that gem, then missed his next shot 35m out, directly in front.
I mean, what?

 

[shinboner magic]

He is brillant player.

He is 3 players in one, full forward,chf and crumber

Funny you should say that. After seeing the telly, mum has made it clear that there'll be no waiting till he grows out of it!

Drew Petrie is North Melbourne.

He is the heart and soul

 

[Mic_Vic]

Not as frustrating as Richo that's for sure!!

He's having a great season coming back from injury

 

[Angus1]

The great thing about Drew is he smashes the contest. He takes some big marks but even when he doesn't the pack gets smashed and the ball falls to the ground and our smalls have an opportunity.

Agree with Scottywiper about missing all of last year and then coming back and having such a huge impact. Awesome stuff from big Drew.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

If Black, Hansen, Kennedy, Pedersen and all our other KP can take a leaf out of Drew's book we would have something special. He isn't the best at anything, but he gives heart and soul week in and week out.

 

[benbanjo]

best kick for goal ive ever seen.... i was thnking would be lucky to get a point...

Once again I agree 100% with you SW. I made the same call to my companion Zondor yesterday. And what makes his season thus far even more impressive is he virtually missed 12 months of football.
And to think 3 years ago or so, he copped a barrage from a lot of BF folk here calling for his head because his form wasn't great. What these drongos forgot is that Drew gives 1000% every week & is what NM is all about.

 

[RooBoyz24]

Drew always stands up on big games for his mates.This guy never lets us down and we can build a fwd line around him.great to have him back this season.

His physical impact is huge.

I love the way he goes about it.

A times he looks ungainly, but geez he is effective. Just a great all round footballer.

 

[Horace]

Just a terrific player for the club. Gives 110% every game.

Watching yesterday I reflected back on what might have happened last year had he not been injured.
