I'm in A11. Hopefully you can't hear my commentating from A10.

I've been there at least half a dozen times in the past years for Dees games. A10 is on the fence at the half forward flank. It's cold at night so rug up but the cheer squad sits here so you're in good company. The angle of seating is low which makes it hard to see the other side of the ground especially if there is someone tall sitting in front of you. But viewing is not  "restricted" by any structures as such. I've attached a couple of maps - hopefully they're helpful.

Would be crazy. Until the moment Petty was injured we had the best attack in the league - and since then, real problems. He creates a contest, marks well and opens space with his movement. Back to CHF imv.

I agree that the experiment should continue but it is far from crazy to move him back. He is an elite backman and Smith did more than enough last week to get the FD thinking about a smaller forward line that can compete in the air but make our team defence even more potent.

Dare I say ‘correlation does not equal causation’? I’m sure everyone has heard all the banging on by King about how TMac’s injury in 2022 triggered the end of our winning streak and, seemingly, all our form problems thereafter.

Is it really an 'experiment' still with Petty? Hmmm.

And don't forget to bring a blanky.

If you don't mind me asking, where is this word coming from? A few weeks ago you guaranteed us Gus would not be starting on the wing against Freo and bang, Gus started on the wing.

I remember this.

Bloke should check the use-by date of his sauce. Methinks it might be off. Time to hit the shops and get a new one. 😁

Got seats in A10 at kardinia park. They were 50 bucks compared to most others that were 60 bucks. Does anyone know if that means they are restricted view? It didn't say that but still a tad concerned. Not sure if this is your area @FearTheBeard ?? 

ye A10 and A11 are the Melbourne bays. Did you maybe buy concession tickets because I don't think there are any restricted view seats in that bay. Well, they are restricted view in that there is no elevation and we need binoculars to see the other side of the ground.

What does Tomlinson have to do to stay in the team?

Plays a near career best game (10 marks) against the league leaders and yet still gets dropped?

Troy Chaplin, in the DL podcast, suggested that Petty will resume his role as a forward which should keep Tommo in the side as that third tall defender to support May and Lever.

also, goodwin has said that they wanted to continue with petty as a forward upon his return from injury

so bringing in petty for tomlinson would be a change to this stated philosophy

It is from where I sit. Especially considering how good a backman he is.

I haven't heard King say that. When did he bang on about that?

He wasn't that good in the first month of the season*

If Petty comes in for Tomlinson, where does that leave Smith??
