I wonder if Petty's "quiet game" in VFL combined with BBB's good game makes selection easier this week. Even if BBB has a "just reasonable" game this week and Petty shows decent form then BBB gets a rest and Petty goes to Adelaide. Is that a new rule? The ball was in the outer ⅓ of the behind space, yet it was balled up in the midline? Did the umpire not call high contact on McDonald because he thought it out of play, or because he doesn't know the rules? Maybe both.

Kicking is one of the lowest acts on a footy field - he is bloody lucky not to have started with 4 regardless of impact. Cannot be tolerated
-
We will have to agree to differ then. Petty cannot have gained one ounce of confidence and would be going into an important game (yes, they are all important) bewildered. Let’s hope he has a good game next weekend at VFL (unless of course there is another bloody bye) and gets right to take to Adelaide which he can look around and see why he doesn’t want to live there.

If you are referring to the first few minutes, there was little sloppy disposal by the time Footscray had 2.1 on the board because at the stage we had exactly one handball and zero kicks. Couldn’t believe it could happen. Almost looked like our famous bang, bang, bang. My MFCSS kicked in hard but fortunately we finally switched on and had a fantastic win. How can a team with a gun ruck and gun midfield allow 2.1 before our first kick 😮😮😮. Were they just enjoying our glorious sunshine?
-
By all accounts Petty wasn’t up to form in the VFL practice game, and BBB did a great job (yes maybe on a NQR opponent) so why in the world make that change, yet ??
-
Thankfully after yesterday’s very solid performances by the two “geriatric write offs” we won’t be pushed into anything rushed.
-
Were there a new record number of score reviews today? Annoying and pathetic. Perhaps they just need to revert to goal umpire's call, and the guys in the bunker can look all they like and if 100% certain it was wrong then stop play and recall it. After all it was done on the ANB goal v Carlton even though there was zero let alone 100% evidence that it was touched.

Take Petty to Adelaide - spend a week there and he may decide he has seen it all and wants to stay in Melbourne. Any updates on Lever's leg? He was hobbling a bit (?calf or ankle?) at the end and after the game.
-
I thought that our crowd was disappointingly quiet for most of the game. Plenty to be excited about. Come on, folks, yell a bit. Lever's memorable kick, rather like Harmes' most memorable kick ever, in 2021.

If North or Hawthorn (or Saints) move there maybe ok - odd numbers just make the totally inequitable season scheduling even worse if possible. And all the comparisons with Geelong just reminds me of one more demand - frankly spending hundreds of millions on a stadium can wait, but FFS please AFL get one thing right. A proper sized and shaped ground ( NOT KP or SCG) with a stable surface right from the start.
-
Hopefully our goal kicking coach has moved over to the Mayflowers.

Ollie - the doomsayers would say both Melbourne and Colonwood are doomed. 🙄 SYD handles the G layout outstandingly last night. The AFL could have an all Saturday arvo round - the retro round.

Hopefully catches up with the Visy 💰mob from Royal Parade soon too.
