Petracca
Geez he's a bull. They can't stop this guy.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Re: Petracca
The pass to Ben Brown was magnificent. A bit better than Seb.

Re: Petracca
He’s a gun
We had every chance to recruit him
That decision alone can cost you a flag, and win another team a flag!!!
He was clearly the best player in the country as an 18yo
How we didn’t draft him beggars belief!!!

Re: Petracca
That's what happens when you have second raters working for the club. Maybe they're slowly learning their lesson.

Re: Petracca
At the time I threated to cancel my membership if they didn't take Petracca but fell on deaf ears & they called my bluff I'm still a member

Re: Petracca
9/10 people said the same thing prior to the draft!!!
The other person was wrong
After the draft it was about 50/50
Mainly apologists trying to justify the decision in their head or support the club!!!
I don’t subscribe to the fact you have to blindly support every decision the club makes (especially given history)
I probably went a bit too far post 2014 draft with some comments, I was livid!! Blind Freddy could see it was a f*** up!!!

Re: Petracca
Unfortunately Blind Freddie wasn't our recruiter. Some fisherman called Trout was. I think he was covertly working for Melbourne.

Re: Petracca
At least Richo was on the ball when he queried McCartin over Petracca but he didn't have the final say.
Might have been the only time he knew what he was talking about.

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Petracca
Shameful from the club....just a dumb move.
Reminds me of the scene in Flying High where someone says to put the runway lights on so the plane can land....and then some guy says
"No, that's just what they'd be expecting us to do...."

Re: Petracca
Absolute clowns. Looking for the buzz off the out-of-left-field decision that pays off.

That's it. Let's not do the obvious. Let's do something really dumb so no one forgets us!Waltzing St Kilda wrote: ↑Sat 28 Aug 2021 11:05pm Absolute clowns. Looking for the buzz off the out-of-left-field decision that pays off.

Re: Petracca
I do remember many poster on this site backing the decision
Even found delight as Petracca struggled at times early (coming off a reco)
Many tried to argue not only that it was the right choice and McCartin was better, they also convinced themselves Petracca was no good!!!
Joffaboy led the chorus but he had plenty of support.

Re: Petracca
To be fair, we thought we were doing the right thing by subcontracting the selection process to the RVIB.

Re: Petracca
Getting interviewed now
Very level headed young man
Apparently interviewed poorly as an 18yo
Can you imagine that, an 18yo kid struggling in an interview
Why the f*** would you worry about how a kid interviews when he’s an elite talent. How about backing club culture to support talent coming through the door
If you knew Milne as a kid, as talented as he was, you’d be surprised he made it to the elite level, let alone becoming a champion!!!
Thanks Lenny, Sammy and Roo
