It's all falling apart for the Dees

Re: It’s all falling apart for the Dees

I'm sure Petracca is being discussed in trade thread but let's talk about the Dees as an organisation...I've got questions!

Does Max still think there are no cultural issues?
Why hasn't Goodwin been sacked yet?
How many years until they win a 'real premiership at the MCG in front of their fans'?

Maybe Max is the cultural issue

Re: It’s all falling apart for the Dees

The below is an excerpt form an article that Sam Landsberger wrote in 2000. Some of those issues that were highlighted in this piece are starting to rear their head now. Interesting obversation on X from Daniel Cherny.


**************
Red flags emerged on Petracca.

Former Saints list manager Ameet Bains and recruiter Tony Elshaug started to question whether Petracca would fit their environment.

Why did the psych test reveal an eagerness for Petracca to promote himself ahead of teammates? Were there selfish traits?

Did his antics at the 3km time-trial ? ensuring everybody knew he was sore ? highlight immaturity? A lack of mental strength?

How come he completed extra training in isolation instead of with teammates?

Petracca seemed to enjoy attention. Would his personality blend in at St Kilda?

?We take the view that the character assessment is critical,? Bains said at the time.

?And with pick one you go to deeper lengths in terms of the people you speak to, in terms of ensuring cross references as you see it, psychologist?s reports, personality reports, interviews, speaking to whoever you think might be relevant.?

So Bains isn’t after Trac then.

Wow Bains must have an eagle eye if he scouted Petracca when he was 4!

Petracca must get those qualities from his self proclaimed best friend Ben Simmons.

To a lesser extent, we've been through all this with Dunkley. Both love the socials, and both love the US sports machine with all the player movement that goes on.

Both scenarios involved whispers around professionalism and they also both happened to play with Lachie Hunter, but perhaps that's just a coincidence...

I thought the Baz stuff was bad at the Dogs. Petracca and Melbourne, hold my beer. This story has just gone nuclear in the 48 hours.

Sorry mate, you can't take it back. You've had it in for a toddler all this time.

Both players have a penchant for authentic blandness as well. I saw on a cooking advert Petracca put red wine into a Bolognese after the tomatoes. Now I could understand doing so after the tomato paste, just, but after the tomatoes is just pure simple bullshit.

One of my favourite quotes on WOOF was when HD referred to Dunkley as a Netflix menu enjoyer. He and Petracca are peas in a pod.

And I appreciate how my comments above may seem superfluous, but if you just dig a bit deeper into who these people are, you realise a bit about them.

If Petracca, who if I'm not mistaken occasionally promotes his Italianism can't at least pay enough attention to detail on how to make an authentic Bolognese, then how much authentic character does he really have within him? Not much. Cheaping out on heritage for a buck.

You have to let the alcohol burn off FFS. I'm contacting Vincenzo's Plate right now to let him rage on about this.

Mate if he hung out in circles with Ben Simmons it tells you all you need to know.

He doesn't even get constipated when he eats crostoli.

Yeah, but I still reckon he goes to the Leggos shop to make it.
