[Forest Demon 4,681]

FFS that is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. I’m just glad they didn’t kill the poor bastard.

i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players

Some decisions to play players who are injured have been bizzare. Misson already has a job secured elsewhere so is his performance for the next several months something that isnt important?

Bizarre incidents just follow Trac. From dog bites, to basketball injuries and now this.

If he wasn’t carrying so much extra weight.. he may have been able to resurface quicker! 

Actually, if he is fat as everyone makes out, he should have floated!!

If Trac plays well this week, let’s try and drown him before every game.

If Trac plays well, let’s try and drown the whole team before every game...

There is an almighty level of rubbish in this thread (@Skuit's post is not part of that).

All good.

I had a fair few bevies and got home to find one of my favorite players had nearly drowned (probably not even close to what actually happened but that's how I read it at the time.)

My post was purely emotional.

The club should do some Mongolian throat singing together to increase their lung capacity. ?

 

I don't know about lung capacity...  but it Would help with sleep-apnea.

Go one better and get this mob for their throat singing and old school fighting lyrics...

This is what the Adelaide power stance was missing ?

That last effort on the boundary line to win that contested ball and kick it forward was huge.

Please lord let him one day put it all together and fulfil his potential.

Maybe this pool training,  helps them to overcome some fears, as well.  

Forcing them out of their comfort zones.

Apart from that horrible set shot for goal, I thought he was good today.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Something needs to be done about that ridiculous high ball drop. A good player will learn and adapt

[dees189227 12,394]

They asked Maxy about it on the radio after the game and said yeah I have never seen a medicine ball used on the MCG before, pointing out what was the pint. Then they joked about his height helping him because he'd have his head out of water. 

But then jokingly said maybe Petracca should do it again next week seeing as he played well today.

I was surprised to see he only had 11 disposals (along with only  2 tackles, 0 goals).   Obviously thats a very low output but he was very physical and had some big moments.  He certainly didn't play poorly, which you'd think he must have just looking at the stat count.

Still needs to lift big time though.

I’ve been told they’re going to waterboard him this week.

If/when he sheds some Kgs,  those number of contests,  and so disposals will increase.
