Nice to see our investment start to bare fruit. He's ticked some boxes.

Definitely been a handful of games this year where i thought he was one of our better players, which is good from 13 games.

I have a lot of time for Petch, thought there was a lot to work with in 18-19. I didn't read much into 2020 form given his injuries (although I agree with others who say he shouldn't have played in the final based on form), and he's showing great signs again in 2021.

The club rates him highly too. Simpson clearly considers him best 22, or at the very least, right on the fringe.

No longer right on the fringe you would have to say.

 

[Obeanie1]

Petch played well no doubt.

It was against weaker opposition though but if that performance becomes consistent week in week out then fantastic. That is the level he needs to be playing every week.

 

[Falco]

As Jack's sponsor, watching last night's game reminded me of how far he has come this season. He was definitely poor after coming back from injury, but he is starting to get involved in the game more. I noted his link work on the wing to push up and offer an option on the lead to the HBFs. There was a passage of play where he worked well through traffic and threw it on his left boot but didn't made the distance. Would have been a wonderful goal. 7 score involvements yesterday.

If he does it every week he's AA

The secret to winning consecutive premierships is simply everyone having career best games every week. Who knew?

Chances are he won't be playing weaker opposition every week.

Becoming a solid contributer, is good overhead and reliable by foot these days. I still think he needs to really work on using his pace better though. He still seems reluctant to back himself and take the game on more often. I suspect he has been coached to just do the team thing and play the percentages but I hope with more experience and growing confidence that he will start to back himself more and then he will become a real weapon.

Maybe he's playing within himself a bit given he already has a history of hammys, and he also wants to be a good role model for his captain?

 

[THE A5]

Just wish he tries to take the game on more often.

 

[Jupes]

honestly didn't realise his finishing was this good

I liked how he got the ball on the paint of the 50 and instead of blazing away into the forward line, he turned back into traffic to set up the play better.

Thought that showed confidence and the more he does it and is successful with it, the better he’ll be.

Has improved his disposal and game nous this year. That’s impressive for a ‘just an athlete’.

I think I rate this game higher, it felt a lot less fluky than the Port one. He looked to be going in a bit harder as well (at least by his standards).

The Port one, especially given hindsight, feels like he wasn't shown enough respect and just got out the back a few times and capitalised.

He looked like a bona fide footballer vs Adelaide and got his goals from his craft.

To me that was his game v Saints. It’s the closest game he looked like a crumbing forward.

Was very good in that game!

 

[Ok Boomer]

One of the big positives of 2021. Is actually finding the ball in different ways.

 

[JohnW]

Aaaaaand hes gone

Is anyone worried about this guys hamstrings? What is this his 3rd or 4th hamstring injury and he's 22. Seems like he cant use his speed or he gets injured.

He seems to get himself into a rich vein of form then pings a hammy again. Guy can't get a good run at it. Frustrating!

 

[Dark Sharks]

Yeah this is concerning IMO.


He's constantly having his game interrupted by niggles and other bullshit. Hard to maintain his upward form trend and development when it's constantly broken. It's worse off because it's multiple breaks, not just one large chunk of football. He's played zero WAFL footy this year.



Played round 1 - Gets dropped for round 2


Plays rounds 3 and 4 - Gets injured for round 5


Strings together 6 games between rounds 7-13 - Gets injured for round 13 vs the tigers


Coming back in round 15 after 2 weeks, he's lasted 4 games - Injured again



His year has gone exactly like this

Played - Omitted Injured

 

[Campaigner for good]

It is frustrating too! It seems everytime he has an excellent game he gets injured so he does not get to reap the benefit of being in great form.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would love the justification behind him being overlooked this week. Perfect chance to get more games into a potentially valuable asset totally gone to waste. In a position of real need after injuries and the like.

Lol jk let’s fill the side with slow and WAFL grade midfielders instead.

Yeah your usual humorous Petch supporting aside you're correct, it's quite baffling.
