Aussies with 3 x gold medal points

It’s a third set tie-break in the tennis gold medal match - tension for something I actually care about

He’s signed to the end of 2026. We can’t afford to pay him out.

And one heck of a pre-season

Goodwin clutching at straws. Third quarter with the season on the line - right on schedule.

Classic Goodwin. Try to cobble together some left field strategy with the season on the line. Did the same thing last year putting Petty forward in the dying quarter.

Yep agreed. Any money it won’t eventuate though.

It’s true that Carlton are off a five day break, albeit back-to-back at Marvel. While Port are off a six day break with an interstate trip - toss of the coin for mine. It shouldn’t take anything away from Port. And it shows impact of a few keys outs for Carlton and their system. It’s also amazing how much the Port nuffies were off Hinkley only a month ago!!

I couldn’t GAF frankly. All clubs make their own beds, and they need to lie in them.

That’s elite game awareness to not take the advantage

Clarry looks well off it

Yes, I can absolutely relate to this as well. Watching Trac on 360 tonight and from similar experiences I bet he’s not sleeping particularly well, is mentally and physically drained with a lot of alone time to dwell on things. I really do hope that the MFC now has good and proper support for him as best they can - because the impression I got from 360 was that perhaps this was a bit lacking or misdirected in the early days. I’ve also heard murmurs of discontent within the Petracca camp but who really knows with these things - I’ve got faith that any issues will pass with time.

Petty doesn’t want to be there

Credit where it’s due to North. If they bring that style next week they’ll be half a chance.

Throw back to the days of old when you could properly spread out!

Agreed. I’m not saying he should have had input, I’m thinking that he must’ve pushed to return otherwise no right thinking medico should’ve ok’d it.

Failures of process across the board I’d suggest. Thank goodness he didn’t get another hit.

Hindsight is great, but incredibly reckless to put him back on.

Going to be very interesting to see whose call it was. Surely Trac would have had input in the decision. Felt like a classic Goodwin all or nothing call to put him back on. Wonder how his family are feeling about it too.

SEN just reported the following re Trac: - Had surgery overnight for four broken ribs - Lacerations to the spleen - Small lung puncture Gods speed Trac. Very interesting to see how this plays out re the decision to put him back on.

Yes! I’ve thought for weeks now that no one looks particularly happy to be there and glad to see it’s not just me thinking the vibes are stagnant. This was writ large yesterday.

Funny because we were once THAT pressure team
