Harrison Petty - KPF in 2023
As we are delving into ancient history, I seem to recall Tassie Johnson - probably the best full back of the golden era af the 50-60s) - played CHF (as well as ruck-rover) a bit late in his career.

Tom McDonald re-injures foot
👍 Calm down all. My whispers are that the plate is about to be / has been removed, as planned. So, he may be seen in a moon boot - be warned.

Harrison Petty - KPF in 2023
You say Macca is a further 6 months away? On what basis? No confirmation of a repeat Lisfranc, and due to get metal removed very soon. Unless you know otherwise. As was Neita. Pushed forward in desperation when Ox went down and won a bloody Coleman. Surely it will sink in sometime that BBB is not a pack marking forward. FCS the pivotal moment in our first premiership in 57 years was when Harmes took the initiative and did not bomb it to the left pocket, but rather to a leading BBB in the right pocket. All flowed from that moment.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
As mentioned before / elsewhere we need a goal kicking big forward. Grundy is not that. 60 goals in 10 years isn’t going to save us. Same with Max for that matter - 88 goals in 12 years. Thinking that parking either in the left forward pocket and bombing it long and high will save our scoring woes is delusional.

Extra "MAGIC" Round in 2023?
Sportsbet and their fellow parasites would love it- so Gill will almost certainly push hard for it.

Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
These are, at this stage, allegations, yes extremely serious allegations, but I believe we still have in Australia a presumption of innocence. That is not in any way meant to downplay the seriousness of the allegations, which, if proven, are far worse than the despicable Essendon drug experiment. Will await events.

2022 Brownlow Medal
Now that gambling companies have such a huge influence on the entire AFL budget, and thinking, these sort of things always leave questions, and a sour taste.
- Why does the media continue to use illness as an excuse for Geelong’s Prelim final loss in 2021?

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Grundy does not, in my recollections, do much as a forward at Colonwood so why should we expect him to do so for us? ✔️ We need a string marking goal kicking forward far more than we need Grundy, or for that matter Max as a forward.

2022 Brownlow Medal
And doesn’t that sum up AFL “integrity of the game 😂😂😂” - Sportsbet 😖🙄💩. Presumably knew the numbers, and knew “their man” needed to play.

2022 Brownlow Medal
“But remember, gamble responsibly” 🤮 And of course nobody knows the votes as they go along, “locked away” BS, and tribunal, MRO and appeals board all independent. BS 🐂💩

2022 Brownlow Medal
Smug so and so …. so want him not to win a flag. But the whole show is a big charade - Cripps will win which is why they ensured that he got off the head high charge charge.

CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport
And would he release Petty to move forward???

CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport
Exactly. Too good for VFL. Extremely limited opportunity at MFC.

No goal reviews at VFL 😖

FINALS 2022: Week 03
And of course it will be all about the Papley mark and goal and nothing about the Collingwood frees forward, or non frees against … or Darcy’s kick across goal.

FINALS 2022: Week 03
Well it does make up for quite a few non decisions favoring Pies earlier in the quarter.

FINALS 2022: Week 03
Meanwhile, ‘nice Melbourne’ won’t sub in Smith when Petracca can’t even walk. 😖😖😖
-
FINALS 2022: Week 03
A few poor decisions and non decisions keeping Pies in the game.

Except that, on this case, that would mean a Cats premiership 😱
