POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
I was thinking in those last ten minutes in particular about how the AFL bleat on and on about “the look of the game” and just how ugly the backwards and criss cross chipping looks. Boring really. Wasn’t going to raise it at the time as I thought it would be seen as sour grapes had we lost (as looked likely) but since we won I thought I would. But seriously with the AFL seeming to want to change rules every year “for the look of the game and higher scoring” should they have a good look at “no mark from a backward kick in defensive half of the ground”? I would extend it even to anywhere outside forward 50. IIRC VFL tried it a few years ago but abandoned it.

Petracca post match interview
Wow. What a mature balanced articulate young man - has the strength, power and balance to reach even greater heights, and the passion to share it with the fans. My eye teared up too. If he and his mate Clarrie work hard on their kicking especially set shot over the offseason they could both become all time greats - both in the same team and age bracket. OMG we all owe massive thanks to the list managers and recruiters who have discovered these (and our more recent) gems. ❤️💙❤️💙💙

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
That last deliberate was just a disgrace - absolutely no feel or understanding of the game maggot. Why would a team striving to get a goal within possibly the last seconds do that? No understanding at all. Should be hauled over the coals, but won’t Didn't much. Kept waking and pinching myself.

Actually might not be all that bad an idea if the Cats are not in it.

I tend to agree, though he does sometimes pull something out of the bag. Who would replace him - Weed?
