My mother in law was bitten by a dog on the leg and also suffered an infection. Took her a couple of monthsย to shake off completelyย and couldnโ€™t walk for a long time.ย

    Petracca underwent minor finger surgery this week and was medically cleared to play this weekend. The decision comes after repeated warnings from club officials, coaches and the leadership group.

    The dog bite, while severe, was not severe enough to miss an AFL game.

Will do.

This is the kind of disinformation that flies about when a club is going through a rough trot.

Collingwood have put with this kind of $h!t for ever, even in good times.

When the vultures get a faint whiff of blood, this is the bull**** that starts to circulate. Hogan's too easy a target ... next we'll hear something about Max, or Oliver.

The specific rumour isn't worrying. It's more that the smell of blood is in the air.

Goody is hell-bent on "Humble" so I would not be shocked.

Yeah, but dropping a player for being arrogant and egotistical?ย 

I've no doubt Trac is a bit arrogant and maybe has a big ego, but to drop him for that isย rubbish.

It's more believable to suggest they kept him out as punishment for not being upfront about the bite. But even that's a billy stretch.

Attempted delete, somehow the app is double posting.

"club officials, coaches and the leadership group"

The days of coaches calling all the shots in isolation finished the day they stopped moving their own cones around, about 50 years ago.

It's still rubbish. More likely he was punished for keeping the injury secret but even that's a billy stretch.

So the guy who made the call to offload Watts, who this week dropped a fan favourite and rusted on best 22 player Garlett, somehow finds it too hard to drop Petracca without hiding behind a story about a dog bite. Got it.

You're defending mediocrity.

Garlett had 6 possessions this week, and 5 the week before. Heaven help us that's what we expect of a "rusted on best 22 player"

He deserved to get dropped, regardless of who made the decision.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
