Adjudication;

Its a Highway to Hell. Brad Scott joins brother Chris at Jeerlong where they can spit the dummy conjoined and minimise the damage to club level. Replace him with Bon Scott, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap trumps last night's questionable decisions.

Overall;

The Song Remains The Same. 3rd quarter gave the competitors No Quarter.

I loved the spirit displayed by both sides in this game. The highlight was Rivers extending his hand to pick up his opponent in the last two minutes of the game.

Sparrow just for that run and tap.

Don't usually do this but I just wanted to follow this up with reasoning for giving Petracca the 6. I think it's easy to fall into a comfortable pattern with the way he plays now much like Max if he's not absolutely setting the world on fire he's deemed to be serviceable but not spectacular.

There's times when you watch a game and it's obvious how well he's playing but then are seemingly quiet patches that aren't as  glamourous but when you watch again he's actually had a ton of score involvements in. Like a 'play starter' instead of play maker if that makes sense.

30 touches, 13 cont, 6 inside 50s, 12 score involvements, 2 goals (in reality probably should have been 3). That's a 3 brownlow vote game most days. I like everyone else's votes here there and Max's game was sensational but I also thought Flynn really took it to him especially early on when we were smashed in clearances. You could have made a case for a lot of BOGs but yeah just wanted to add my two cents.

I actually thought that Gawn handled Flynn pretty easily.  Most of Flynn's influence  was when he was against Jackson in the middle or McDonald in our forward line.  It was one of Jackson's poorer efforts in the ruck and he couldn't handle Flynn's big body.  Gawn and May, when the game was actually a contest were by far the two best players for us.  Part of our clearance issue was Petracca.  He's a great player, but his strength isn't centre clearance. I thought he had an ok first half and a much better second half.  But he's a star and like Gawn has a bar that seems so much higher than nearly everyone else in the competition.

Yeah look that's a good point and something I probably didn't notice as closely the first time. Fact is I thought Flynn really had a go but as you say it may not have been against Gawn as often when he was winning his hit outs.

I still loved Trac's game but am happy for anyone to give Gawn or May the honours, great problem to have!
