I really thought he had a chance as he had a great year running off half back.
I don't think the opposition coaches rated him and let him run free.
That changed after his Brownlow and he struggled with the attention IMO.
Was very professional back then to the extent of diet and weighing his food portions etc which not many seemed to be doing.
Will always remember this running rippa. -

There's that many AFL related shows out there who need something to talk about to fill in their time so will run with anything they can get their hands on to BS on about.
Last year I was listening to the radio pre-game and one of the fools floated some rubbish and another shot it down straight away.
Reply was something like " Thanks for that Browny. We've got six minutes to kill before game time and you just shut that down."
Problem is we seem to give them plenty of BS to run with.

Tom Morris might be sufferable if he could ever provide one scintilla of hard evidence. "Petracca wants out of Melbourne ". You know this? How? Can you tell us your sources? Of course not. Have you spoken to Christian directly? I'm putting a lot of money on a negative answer. Anyone can throw something out there with nothing concrete to back it up. I actually had some empathy for this bloke when he lost his job. Not much but a bit. Somehow now he has been elevated in status and is at the forefront of an overwhelming amount of football media. Boorish.
It's been a week or so now.
Petracca could come out and just declare it's all BS but ... No. -

Neale started at Freo and his wifes family live there, Dangerfield and Kelly both left to be closer to family also.
Petracca seems to be chucking some sort of childish tantrum.
We don't now cause he hasn't come out and said anything.
But that's what it looks like to me.
And I'm thinking t could be a blessing in disguise if we get the trade right.
With Tassie coming in it'd be good to get some young talent in before they start scooping it all up.
You don't want to be down the bottom end of the ladder when that happens.
Look were we were when GWS and GC come in.
And half the reason Hawthorn and Geelong held the top2 spots for those years.
No-one could build from beneath them ad they cherry picked any out of contract talent who wanted to play for flags.
Pretty sure the term destination club was born in this era.

I've turned around on this.
The rest of the team seemed pretty together on the weekend.
If you don't want to be part of it then off you go mate, cya. Other clubs can stump up the cost, which would be 2x top 5 picks I'd suggest. How they get those is up to them.
Same .... He can kick his mongrel punts somewhere else.

Even the best players are just threads in the culture of good teams and clubs.
Ask Buddy about leaving for more success elsewhere.To be fair Buddy left for 10million bucks and some anonymity in Sydney.
Left after winning flag in 2013 and Hawthorn went on to win the next 2 after that. -

POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood
in Melbourne Demons
I thought Kozzie tripping over his own feet summed up the season myself.
Summed up the last 3seasons TBH.
