Twin premiership player David Master presented the concept to Montagna that possibly the AFL had caught onto Collingwood's late-game tactics, and that maybe the moderators were actually primarily keeping an eye out for the Pies' hallmark save-the-game mentality-- and the former St was on board. "Perhaps, yeah-- it is actually a great conspiracy concept," he pointed out. "Perhaps they (the AFL as well as its own moderators) are onto it-- overdue in video games, we know that Collingwood makes an effort and perform these factors, (perhaps they are actually mentioning) 'allow's be aware of it'. "I think that is actually decent, due to the fact that they have actually done it for a number of years now."
