THE PETRACCA GOAL Can anyone clear up for me three things:- The first pertains to why the AFL official last two minutes of the game on Youtube now does NOT include all of the last two minutes. It is in fact abridged to not include viewing of how long the conversation was between the goal umpire and the Field umpire No 23 after Petracca had kicked the winning goal. What is there to hide by not including this very important part, and actually how long they spoke for? Secondly, from what could be seen from the fence side behind the goal area it is apparent to some that there was more words spoken than just what was understood to have been said. Do others understand this to be the case? Why was that? Third of course we have the situation that there is only one angle of viewing that has been shown to the public. Why?

If we ever needed any more incentive that was it.

I was looking more at someone who was there???

I'm putting this incident of blatant cheating up there with Maradona's "hand of God Incident"....

Now your close to the truth. TWSNBN not a hope on hell of making finals. Who bobs up to take their place . Plus Richmond will not either. Razor's game was balanced No 23 or 25 was in his usual hate mode. I wondered why Max said hello before the game started actually. You actually think you are watching a different game from the start of the season. Pushing in the back. Constant deliberate throwing. Interference in every marking contest with umpires' s discretion as to whether they pay them or not. That goal. Watch and listen to the Goal Umpire. He had NO F"N IDEA. He just thought it could not have got through there without someone touching it, so i will call it touched, and see how the review hold up with that. Other than that not displeased with the game was a ripper. Still a lot to play out here.

If our coach treated the Media scrum the way Cats Coach does he would be sacked by the AFL. He was impressive and candid.

Carlton of 2023 isn't part of history until they create history.

This weekends Revised Rules Beware of wonky ball bounces in the centre being called play on. Marks have to be held for just that little bit longer. Might as well call everything play on. Short kicks are to be paid.. Short kicks are to be called play on. That was the rule from being paid first half to being not paid second half. Go figure.

No bloody wonder, nobody from our team talks to the media...

Razor is another big IN for us

Call to arms. On our turf. Last five, Lets make it Six. In the Centre it will be them who Holds all the time. Get on to it umps In the Forward line it will be them who blocks and holds all the time. In the Backline it will be them who looks at each other about who gets it. In the end it will be us who runs around the Boundary.

I would imagine the protagonists have been asked already?

Should be a couple of good contests in the game. Hibberd to Martin, won't fall for the usual bump and push in back capers i think. Sparrow to Cripps with a touch of Kossie every now and then. May, about time for a big hard game, no good looking angry, got to be angry.

JVR and Brodie will work, because it is designed to have him hurting backmen in front of goal and him taking marks up the ground.

Always down the bottom Coll, Car and TWSNBN. What a bunch of bum benders.

Oliver at FF.

Who do we need if Grundy wins the game for us on Saturday??

Carlton will not want Grundy in our Forward Line damaging people that they need in Finals. Fact. This is what will happen if Grundy plays. That is what used to happen up until they moved on the previous person to Gold Coast. They also think they can get away with placing Silvagni now Martin in their Forward line just to fall over or push people in the back when the Umpire is not looking. JVR will be running all over the place picking up kicks.

Just to remind everyone after today's results:- No pushing in back free kicks (more often not paid) Marks to be held for inordinate amount of time. Abuse of umpires constantly again. Do not have close game, because they will make it close. Round the neck being paid again to pretty well everyone. Interference off the ball rampant. Good luck all......

Ever since school days and sam the hotshot

I'm thinking because of the influence behind closed walls in the Port Players Rooms that there would be a fair amount of dismay and quite a lot of annoyance between the players and Coach, This bloke can be construed as neglecting his interest and their interests and welfares, by his cognisance of some of them returning to the ground.

The New CEO of the AFL, what a gutless ratbag.......let him know how you feel Media when your kids are out this weekend playing Footy and your little son or daughter gets sent back on, after a head wack, with the encouragement.......the AFL can do it, so can we.

Grand Final Day and we have one of the participants who doesn't follow Injury Protocols. Sounds Fair WTF.

AFL Players Association to be sacked at the end of Season and replaced with body of Ex player stalwarts. Perhaps even with "a Voice" to the Board. Now that would be a first....

Money to come out of Management , but not Player Funding, and to go into Player support, post career.
