If he gets reported the whole football world will go into meltdown

The thing that pisses me off about this game the most besides the umpiring is the demonland response to Gawn and Oliver's kicks at the end of the game. FfS the season was on the line and we had to go at all costs. Two of the greatest Demons tried and it didn't come off for either but this idea they had to lower their eyes is [censored]. Petracca fumbled and stumbled before he got it to Clarry. Had he not [censored] that up Oliver could have had a proper ping at it and either put us ahead or got a point where we could have forced a kickout, locked the ball in and potentially got another shot on goal. When Gawn got it we knew the time left and had to go coast to coast. We couldn't be cute about it. Had to go at all costs They both made the right decision

Whe should have trained for rugby instead of soccer this week given the conditions

They should sell all their home games and play in Alice

He can afford a few wastefully ones given his i50 in the GF turned the game and was one of the most influential kicks i have ever seen on the biggest stage

Lucky he didn't go Collingwood. No market for toothpaste there.

Maybe I've got blinkers on but outside of last week when he left training early with an ankle injury and didn't train or run again before the game. I'd say he is the most damaging player in the league. Nobody is getting 20+ possesions a game and kicking 2+ goals, like he does. His record of getting 20+ possesions with 5+ goals in a game is up their with the absolute elites of the game over the last 20 years and he is still young. His value is higher than anyone else in the league and I don't think Freo could come to finding a trade for that even if he requested a trade.

When you began typing

Rubbish. When Pickett plays we are more likely to win than not. Before today he was the only player in the league averaging over 20 possesions and 2 goals a game. He went off injured at training mid week and didn't train again before the game. When you are out there you need to perform but should have he been out there?

Oliver got 7 coaches votes last week. The game hasn't past him

When you have Petracca and Clarry pepering it into the forward line all the time it makes sense to change the forward setup to stop intercept marks at all costs, bring the ball to ground and have Kozzie buzzing around causing chaos.

tbh I'd prefer Kalani was GC's first preference and he chose us

Maybe because we had the momentum, kozzie was running into an open goal and got blatantly tripped without being awarded a free kick. Then they went down the other end and kicked a goal.. we would be 6 straight if it wasn't for that blunder that was shown on ever news reel on TV. It's rare if not unheard of for a bad umpiring decision to be shown over and over on every channels mainstream news. It has to be a howler

We were one of the fastest ball movers when we were losing the first 5 rounds. I'm pretty sure i remember reading @WheeloRatings post on Easter Sunday we were ranked the fastest in the league. Alot has changed since then. The fast ball movement hasn't but we have better ball users playing and or hitting form. McVee, Kozzie and Bowie. Our forward line has made a transition to playing a style that every other club will follow eventually by not only preventing intercept marks from doing their thing but instead of leading in front of them they hide behind them so the interceptor can't watch their player and the ball at the same time, making them lost , then we bring the ball to ground or get an easy mark. Plus Oliver, Petracca and Gawn coming back to form helps us move the ball quickly from centre bounces and contesrs. There alot of layers too it

Probably but they need a farm with a runway to land them on as well
