Quote from: ElwoodBlues1 on
Petracca was on and I dont think anyone was going to stop him if he got enough supply and it was one on one stuff where he excels like Dusty did at his peak.
We needed to put more pressure on the delivery and get another player across to help out when we could..

In a way it was better we got on top of him early and forced him to play forward.
Sure, he dominated forward......but the ball had to get there for that to happen.
Had he stayed midfield and started to dominate there, the dees would've had even more inside 50's, probably gone past the tipping point of what we could control.

Hope Cunners has a good workout. 

Needs to learn to get more possessions and be more involved because he seems to be one of the better players at kicking to the advantage of our tall forwards in the AFL team.

Either that or change his name to Fantasia. Possessions and being involved doesn't matter for him.

I thought cunners was stiff to be dropped, and think he should be first recalled.
Hopefully he gets through without incident.

[4] Free Kicks: My God, we were crucified. I don't want to go through all of them, but there were so many after half time! Without them, Melbourne wouldn't have got close.
But that big tackle on Petracca near siren time: absolute Gold!
It was about 10 minutes into the last quarter and I checked the free kick count.
For the second half up to that point it was 9-1 in their favour. I th I bk we then got about 4 in a row pretty quickly, plus that dodgy dangerous tackle one on Kemp that saved us a goal.

Overall I didn't think the umps were that bad, but there was definitely a bad patch which coincided with them coming back.

Loving pittonets game tonight.
He is being a real pest. Got inside gawns head early. Tackling well and getting the dees players to lose focus on the ball and we are benefiting from it.

Of course his goal and general ruck play has been good too.

It's been a long time since we've had a ruck with some genuine aggression, enjoys the hard stuff and loves the verbal.

Reckons he might have a broken finger too.

Hopefully he can keep gawn quiet for 1 more quarter.

Knowing us, we'll somehow manage to make this a close game and give us all yet another heart scare. It's what we do.

We've got over half the dees usual score against, in just a quarter....in the wet.

About as good as we could've asked for.

Funny how things work when  you kick it through the big ones.

Well, at the risk of seeming like a smarty pants, I suspected Hewett or Cerra. Balance. Plus Hewett was a little slow last week and would be a good replacement for a tired (or injured) mid when some of the early heat has gone out of the game.

Going back to what I was saying the other day...if someone is tired or injured, rest them.
Keep cunners in the side.

Funny this...
Ian Roberts came out nearly 30 years ago in Rugby League.
Women AFL+Soccer players seem to have no trouble with it.
Colin Hughes the gay footballer on Ted Lasso declared himself...teammates seemed more concerned he didn't trust them with the info.

I guess the question is...
Is it anybody's business?
Do we really need to know?
Is it important that we know"
Would it be a positive for young gay footballers, or would the atmosphere in a teenage team be a little less tolerant than a professional organistation

There's been a few players who have been 'outed' over the journey.
Most notably when Jacko outed someone on Live tv during a legends game.

There's the comedian Josh Lawson (?) who said he has had a relationship with a former brownlow medalist.

Plenty of people have been speculated about and plenty know it to be true, but nobody has 'admitted it'.

I think its time.
