No doubt, but he's not a ruckman. If I went back through the pregame thread would I find you commenting that it was ok to play Petty in the ruck?

You are absolutely missing the point of my discussion.. have another go.

The issue is not starting Petty in the ruck, its the fact he hasn't given a yelp at all when in there. Some od his efforts were ridiculously soft.

 

Wow how good was that!!!?? 

Kozzie, classy

Melksham SO SMART

Caleb crazy speed

 fantastic goal

    Turner gets pushed into a dangerous contests = no free. Essendon player gets pushed by McVee = Free Kick Essendon!

    Why wasn’t Kozzy’s tackle rewarded??? Exact same prior op and lack of disposal. Rules for them and rules for us. Maggot [censored]

    Umps won't pay our tackles.

    I'd say it's inconsistency but the umps are quite reliable.

    You're missing the point. He is not a ruckman. He's doing his best against a top 4 team ruckman.

    He isn't going to measure up, in the ruck. Give him a break. You didn't mind the idea pre game. Stick fat


    Can the commentators be any more biased towards Essendon? My ears hurt.

    disco got a a non free there...

    The contact below the knee rule is there to prevent players (Draper) diving at the ball. Yes looks soft and not how the game used to be. But the rule was adjudicated correctly. 
     

    Draper should’ve kept his feet.

    I thought it a player dived for the ball and took out a players legs it was a free kick?

    Pretty frustrating when one of them is Nathan Jones. 🤬

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
