, Petracca understood when the game needed him most and, as importantly, where it needed him most. Whenever, wherever, he was there.Petracca celebrates a goal.The first goal of the game was kicked by Petracca, curling in a ball from the pocket. It was Petracca who collided with Bontempelli in that first quarter, fairly, to leave the Dogs skipper gasping. But his most consequential play came later, when the game was drifting from the Demons.
His goal in the third quarter took the momentum the Demons had already begun with Fritsch’s goals and gave it a little something. A long ball to the pocket and Tom McDonald went back to bring it to ground. It looked like a moment for Kysaiah Pickett to have the intervention in the game that felt like it had been coming. But Petracca gathered the ball instead, found space on the boundary then found space between the goals when from his view he could not have seen a gap.
They are so yin and yang they are Norm and Smith. Although, Fritsch also kicked six goals while wearing Ron Barassi’s number, so he was also part of the argument. And Jack Viney’s muscle in the packs, punching a hole through a pack at half-forward to hand off to James Harmes, who kicked long for Fritsch’s third goal?Really this year the Norm Smith had to be won by a Melbourne player. There was special resonance to the medal this year.
