I love the internet.

Missed 4 games himself through suspension, another at least 3 through injury. But it's Dan Houston's fault that he missed AA selection because of the 1 match Dan cost him. And apparently Dan also stole his spot on the half back flank.

Heartbreaking!

Call me old school, but would it kill these blokes to put a tie on? Sloppy

Agree, dress code poor! The same as Luke Tyan wearing Sneakers with his suit. I love the look, but there is a time and a place for it, this may be the highest honour someone has bestowed upon them like Houston, Ryan or Weitering. Show your peers the respect they deserve and dress to impress, you’re not that cool and trendy is only fashionable while the trend is in. In 100 years time you just look sloppy and unkept.

This nonsense from Damian Barrett about "Brand Petracca" is some of the most disgusting character assassination I've seen from the AFL media. He has every right to want out of a club that almost killed him with their negligent decision-making, this has almost nothing to do with his "brand" (as if he isn't already one of the most prominent AFL footballers...)

It's been disgusting. I wonder how much the MFC is paying him.

Something wrong with my tv, it’s Friday night and there’s no Carlton on.

Collingwood's turn.

 

[Coobk001]

Far out, Collingwood just can't get their clash Guernsey shit under control at all. Playing Sydney and rather than wearing a predominantly black jumper, they've decided to match the Sydney whiter outfit with their whiter Jumper, despite wearing their darker shorts.

Such a mish mash. It really isn't that hard.

 

[240volt]

Collingwood's turn.

Ah yes, could do with a Danielle Daicos playing.

Uggggh

On my tv, missed the Port v Carlton game from a few rounds ago as we went to boxing in Bangkok.
Up in the first quarter, we go alright??

They probably think it's summer already.

Collingwood I50 to goal at 5%

It's an outrage

But good to note that your post got double the likes in this thread than old mate Daz got for his twitter post.

 

[Festerz]

Have you ever heard Petracca or anyone connected to Petracca say 'brand Petracca'?

You've been propaganda'ed my friend. The only people using that phrase are people who have a vested interest in Melbourne looking good and Petracca looking selfish.

Yep that's most likely true. And there's more than a bit of jealousy at work here too is my guess.

There's an article on the Brand Petracca stuff in today's Age btw. (they've even included a link to his Black Bean noodle recipe ).

While the link between his social media stuff and his rift with the Demons has been blown up for click bait and 'vested interest reasons', that social media stuff has become quite a lucrative money spinner with estimates he makes about $500k a year from it atm. That's just half of what he earns as an AFL footballer but still a nice sideline - good luck to him imho.




As well as paid deals with those companies, he's also got a Cookbook due for release next year and is brand ambassador for luxury watch retailer, Kennedy:

Leading Luxury Watch Retailer Names AFL Star Christian Petracca As Brand Ambassador • T Australia

Kennedy has teamed up with Melbourne Football Club Premiership champion Christian Petracca with a new two-year partnership as official brand ambassador.

None of this is illegal or represents a conflict of interest for an AFL star - it just shows he's not just your standard on-field jock but someone with a smart business brain whose prepared to work hard both on and off the field.

The media are loving this pile on. But do they EVER give the same sort of scrutiny to the outside interests and lucrative financial links (say to betting companies) of those within the AFL hierarchy or AFL media partners? (rhetorical question of course).

Gameday vs The bye, are we going to win?

 

[Powerade 08]

O'Dowd the Irish ruck on debut, first touch (maybe?) kicks one out of the centre.

Should have faked around that bish and run all the way to goal

Lightning O'Dowd lands fastest goal in AFLW history

Debutant Eilish O'Dowd motors away from the opening bounce to set a new record for the quickest major in AFLW

Poor start for the Vic clubs in the AFLW.

Great running and don't want to be a wet blanket .....but she picked up the ball about 3 metres from the centre circle and had just one bounce before kicking the goal from 30 metres out.

That'd be a foul even in gaelic footy.

says he remains committed to the Demons despite weeks of speculation over his future at the club.

Petracca, who is contracted with the Demons until the end of the 2029 season, said he wants to stay in the red and blue despite recent reports he was disgruntled and wanted to leave.

No just won't be traded.

Not even the old kick to self that the Irish do in their sport.
