The knocking of Petty on the game day thread was really ordinary. What did people expect for his 12th game?  The poor bloke was clearly nervous, probably still gets flashbacks to that St.Kilda game. Thought he showed some promising signs in the second half. Others should reflect on how many games Weideman has been gifted to develop at AFL level, before knocking Petty in his 1st senior game since 2019. 

Frost: Past meets present!

If you could have Lever of Frost, there is simply no comparison.  A display of what ‘improving the list’ looks like.  

If thats the case regarding Petty copping criticism Chief, Im with you. 

He was brought in to fill a crucial role in a well drilled and functioning  back 6 after a considerable layoff with injury. Thats no mean feat.

He played his role competently and did everything he was asked 

Harry can hold his head up high.
