Harrison Petty - KPF in 2023
Agreed, he doesn't seem to do this normally unless he's already experimented. It was interesting in Rd 1 to see BBB temporarily pop into defence for small moments in the game - might have been something that had already been practice during preseason. Think there was also another player but can't remember who that popped up in a few spots. We seemed much more flexible and attacking against the Dogs. Gus was moved into the midfield at half time too in the Lions game (although that's more likely due to Gawn down and a general reshuffling). Wonder what we'll see against the Swans - probably not much movement. But when Kozzy is back we might begin to see that flexibility again because we'll be slightly less strapped for depth and our backs may be less against the wall.

I don't know about timing but it turns out Lingers had broken 4 ribs (not just bruised as reported). It's likely these were still healing / tender at finals time

Feels like half the time the people who complain about attendances don't event make the effort to attend themselves :/ Personally I think leading by example (and dragging friends / family / enemies / coworkers into the experience) is more productive!

Why you should Become a Melbourne Supporter (according to Chat GPT)
Yep, if you ask it for sources for academic or legal responses, it makes up URLs, academic journal articles or legislative sections. Bit of fun for a first draft of emails or general summaries, but the current publicly available model is not near the hype that people keep on giving it. That being said, they've just realised a premium legal model which is being used by PWC. Can't be any worse than PWC's actual lawyers 😂

MCL Injury to Max Gawn
Highlight was signing Grand Old Flag together, roaring away in front of all the Brissy supporters. You're right, it was an excellent bonding experience for all of us who stayed to cheer on! Think going home would have been too depressing without witnessing and willing that turn around on ground. That being said... I'm getting quietly [censored] in the Brissy airport and nearly at my tether for mixed feelings, in part due to some transport stuff around (not Rex but Qantas for those playing along at home) and reading a beautifully, quietly destructive novel. Overall, go dees!!!

6 Lever - stellar defense efforts 5 Hunter - worked hard, particularly second half 4 Ben Brown - great goal efforts 3 Bowey - great disposals 2 Fritta - not his best but still helped with 3 goals (but if only some of those behinds had converted!) 1 Brayshaw - bit meh but did some good work in second half Thommo also was solid-ish given his playing profile. But overall the bottom 2 are just slighr advantages over an uninspiring 18 others

And if you go into the custom stats on the AFL app, you can get the turnovers stat. Unfortunately, Clarry had 12 turnovers, the highest in the game (with Petracca and Rayner next, each with 6 turnovers). Surprisingly, Lions had 77 turnovers to our 65. Wonder if that's the impact of after the lights. Of course, Lions might have had more possessions overall (have not counted yet) or the turnovers might have occurred in less damaging places. Edit: also now I think of it, we were being smashed in the midfield so the fact that our midfielder had such a high turnover rate is telling... Viney had 4, Harmes had 4
