He's built like truck and 18 years old and still managed just under 15 in the beep test. I'm totally concerned about Petracca.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Pretty tempted to go trolling over there to be honest..

It's not all of them and it is their board. I'd be bent out of shape too if my team passed on him at one. The assets I would have burned trading up from #2 to #1 to get him. Good thing I'm not in charge.

Too late..

 

[markm106]

A few saints fans have been potting Petracca since they accepted they were taking Mccartin.
As for pulling out of training I'm reasonably confident he didn't and if he did imagine the media storm. We wouldn't be hearing about it on the saints BF board.
Also Petracca has a very strong work ethic so doubt he would pull out on day 1.

 

[Trav 20]

Saints fans suffer from a major case of Petracca-envy.

It is believed to be an uncontrollable condition.

 

[autocol]

Who's more likely to know whether Petracca pulled out of training, Dees supporters who were at the training session and reported on every little detail (like tasmanlvr and Saty on 'Land) or some bitter Saints fans?

They were referring to him being too spent to finish the session because he was shown puffing hard towards the end on last nights news.

I think a few Saints supporters had just become attached to Petracca because he looked like the 1st pick until the last moment, and they didn't have time to look into McCartin and realise he's a damn good pick at 1.

Yeah saw the footage this morning. Was struggling but they didn't mention him pulling out etc

Woah an 18 year old draftee who has never done a AFL pre-season pulled up puffing at the end of a session in hot weather?!

Colour me ****ing shocked

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

rumour going around on the saints board that petracca pulled out of his first training session any truth to it?

Lmfao. Yeah he was caught back at the club snorting lines off Angus Brayshaw's forehead.

I don't know how those saints supporters were ever interested in him.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Where did you see his ratings? I thought he got picked up doing scouting work and no longer posts his stuff on the web

Was linked somewhere in another thread on here (Draft and Trading board). Sorry, I can't remember which one, maybe Knightmare's. It was just a top 33 list, I don't think he releases the detailed versions any more.

To be clear, he did not pull out. It was a joke from the Saints board.

 

[Cannon82]

Michael Manteit, 187cm, 85kg - def, avg 20 poss @ 70% eff in 18 TAC games

I vote this guy. Do you pronounce it man-teet or man-tight? He could be the next Jeffrey Goldblum.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Hammelman + this Manteit bloke would be nice. Petition to call him Manatee?

 

[markm106]

Is Hammelman a free for all or do Brisbane have dibs if they want him

They haven't announced anything at this stage which Essendon have done with Jake Long), so looks like a free for all.

 

[Crimson Azure]

I love how this board spins off into old simpsons references, still the greatest show of all time

No we don't!

This is the biggest case of false advertising since the never ending story movie!

Hopefully we can get him then. Seems a good prospect.

Pulling out? LOL

 

[Tulip]

I probably should have read what you quoted before I tried to make sense of this!

 

[tasmanlvr]

Hahahaha well I did come a little late to the party I suppose.

Just one last one on CP, I did make mention of him being buggered in the report but he didn't actually leave, in fact, he was still mid pack in his running group which I liked.

 

[cougar000]

Pulling out? LOL

I hope he didn't pull out. Just in case he dose become a Demon superstar the more baby Petracca's the better.

Free for all. They didn't nominate him
