to be honest he probably would still go top 10 in the 2014 draft. That year has had so many disappointments due to injury and players just to developing at all.Has not lived up to the hype surrounding him when he was drafted. Wouldn’t be in the top 10 players if the draft was redone on his output

So they should.People judge him way too harshly because they put massive expectations on him.
So they should.
He was pick 1
Sorry yes my bad he was pick 2.No he wasn't, McCartin was pick 1.
The only problem with his game and it's an important one is he hasn't been accurate at goal.
Also this myth that he's lazy is quite strange given that he's rated above average in tackles inside 50, ground ball gets, pressure acts and a host of other numbers.
People mark him unreasonably harsh.
That's not his role, he's a forward who plays stints in the midfield.Sorry yes my bad he was pick 2.
But he has still been very dissapointing.
His goal kicking is embarassing.
His fitness also seems awful. What year is he in? 4th or 5th? He should be playing games through the midfield by now
Well he is shit at itThat's not his role, he's a forward who plays stints in the midfield.
He's actually not but okay.Well he is **** at it
Petracca is a classic example of supporters being 1-eyed.He's actually not but okay.
Petracca is a classic example of supporters being 1-eyed.
With his natural tallent he should be preforming at an AA level and winning games off his own boot. So far he has failed.
No doubt he can turn it around though
My expectations are reality of what he has the potential to be.It's not being one eyed at all, you're judging him on the massive expectations you've put on him and you're judging him accordingly because he hasn't met your ridiculous expectations.
Agree with most of those guys but Cameron, Lloyd and Jetta were all rookie evaluations so they weren’t actually drafted in 2014 and available to other clubsDeGoey
Brayshaw
Heeney
Lever
Wright
Moore
Daniel
Steele
Howard
Andrews
Cameron
Jetta
Lloyd
All of the players above would be above him on output to date.
No doubt the talent is there but looks like he is happy to be average, looks lazy. Needs to get his career on track or he will be just another average number 2 pick
Yehhh nahhh thats not his only problem...No he wasn't, McCartin was pick 1.

You think Petraccas ONLY problem is that he is inaccurate? You are happy with everything else?Care to elaborate?
Yes.You think Petraccas ONLY problem is that he is inaccurate? You are happy with everything else?
That is laughable, low expectations I suppose.Yes.
Not really but by all means elaborate?That is laughable, low expectations I suppose.
Well if I was a Melbourne supporter I would be very disappointed with petracca so far. Was being touted as a future super star, bull of a midfielder. And so far he’s been ok, with a few really good games in between. He doesn’t have the tank to go into the midfield. Is currently only getting 16 disposals a game and less than a goal a game. His kicking is below par, and his decision making at times is atrocious. He drifts out of games when he was supposed to be a match winner. He doesn’t lay enough tackles as a forward with ‘explosive pace’, making just 3.2 a game.Not really but by all means elaborate?

But you think it’s only his goal kicking that’s a problem?
