Yeah, Drew goes out to make mistakes to pi$$ you off F/D. Makes his week listenening to Computer Screen champions. Lets point out all the errors you made in your football career.
He is a paid footballer and he goes out there to try. Everyone in the AFL tries, thats the thing. Saying that Petrie tries harder than the rest of the Roos players is stupid. He cannot kick, cannot take a contested mark to save himself and his decision making skills are shocking. Not to mention he takes forever to move and is incredibly slow.
He is a laughable footballer, have been saying it for over a year and a half now.
PS: Played a praccy match yesterday, had 20+ used it all.
Thank you
The match ups were poor from the start of the game.
Gibbo is not a CHB/FB. Not yet anyway. Nor will he be. not big enuff. The coach failed to show Kent any respect and it showed. He should have had Archer/Brown/Watt.

No way would we do that, that is just as laughable as putting Gibson on him. Far too slow and would be giving away 10 cm. Brown would have been too slow for Kingsley too but atleast he knows how to read the play half decently. Watt? no thanks. Would be just as fast but Kingsley is the MUCH smarter footballer and would have ripped him to bits.
Jon Hay was the perfect choice, but he was down.
Move on.
Once again Brown can't seem to hold down one of the two key positions in the back line. And needs to offer something to the team rather than a crumbing forward as he has done for the last few weeks. Your a big back man play like one. or hold down CHF for a game.
Perry did a fair job on Ottens, yes but the geelong players didn't need to kick it too him as Kent was 5 meters in the clear every into 50 they had. First game too early to tell. Hope he gets a job each week and isn't moved around.
Should be in the team ahead of Watt.
Drew play's everywhere and is still but into the ruck with Hale and Hamish in the side. WTF is that???Drew play CHF present, lead, open it up act as a decoy, RUN, RUN, RUN. Or down back and hold a position, he was the match up for Ottens. In the Ruck. WHY?
Watt's moved to cover the holes Brown can't fill. And he is not a key position backman. Yet week in week out his put on the key player in the back line after being moved there cause someone else has failed. That's why we have got Hay, Brown, Rawlings, Perry. The coach has had him for three years, you should be able to teach something to him in three years? 100 games in and we still don't know. I would love to see Watt in the twos, that would mean one of the 6 other people that can play his role are playing it well enuff to replace him.
He is so damn inconsistently crap in every other position and yet we find ourselves here every Monday morning arguing about if Watt has played a good game. In this case, he didnt play a good game. Once again his best is average and his worst is terrible. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather Joel Perry play instead of this pretend footballer. He is a fake, a phoney.
He makes a scapegoat and singles out Troy, at least troy ran the lines, linked up play and could go one on one. Thats why he was dragged to the last line and people tried to outmark him. He was a good playmaker.
Laidley absolutely LOVES Drew Petrie. Troy has been the much better player out of the two and yet we continue to play a bloke who plays a semi decent game ever 5-6 games. Even when Hamish McIntosh was dominating EVER single game in the VFL last year, we continue with this "footballer".
Troy must feel dirty.
Two weeks in a row the coaching panel has panicked in the first 10 mins of the match, is it any wonder the blokes down back have no confidence, a weeks worth of talk about match up's is out the door and it's who is on who.
Thats what I've seen so far and this is definately not the coaches fault. However, rewarding these players with games is totally unacceptable. The worst thing is, he actually plays these footballers who have been struggling for more than 2 years and basically gurantees them a game.
Questions need to be asked, ask the right person, I'm yet to see one thread on the coach. He needs to stop bagging the supporters, talking about where we play, and talking about finals and respect. Win some finals as a coach Dean, Win some games, learn, teach and the club can only go forward
And also toss these two disgraceful footballers out the door.
