North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie hasnt processed the fact he wont be lining up for the Kangaroos next season.But he accepts the clubs decision.Petrie, as well as North Melbourne veterans Brent Harvey, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo, were told this week their contracts would not be renewed.Coach Brad Scott told of his heartbreak in making a call which removes 1337 games worth of experience from the clubs list.A chunk of Kangaroos fans have shared their sadness and anger at the move, but theres none of those emotions from Petrie.The 33-year-old is a Kangaroo until the end, saying he stood behind Scotts decision even though it would end his 16-year stint at Arden Street.Id hate to get in the way of the future of this footy club and I want the club to thrive now and in the next generation, he told reporters on Friday.If the club doesnt see me as part of that Im absolutely fine with that.And Im happy to step aside and make sure this side can be finals contenders for the next five years as well.Petrie said Scott didnt deserve criticism for the decision, claiming the coach was enormous in (his) career and respectful in their dealings.He said he walked out of their meeting on Tuesday in a haze after being told he wouldnt be offered a new deal.When the words come out of the coachs mouth its a bit of a surreal moment, he said.You dont really absorb it until you go away and leave the club.There hasnt been any tears roll down my cheek yet. Maybe when I walk off the ground for the last time that might occur.Scott and the club have been criticised for the manner of the decision but Petrie said it was the right call and made the right way.The only part Id like to change is the unfair way Brads been treated in the last three days, he said.The way that the medias reported this decision and the backlash from small pockets of North Melbourne people has been poor and Im really disappointed thats the case.Tough decisions have been made but the hes got the best interests of the club at heart.Petrie said he hasnt thought about playing on in 2017 at another club as he remains focused on Saturday nights assignment against Greater Western Sydney, which is also the Kangaroos most likely elimination finals opponent.

MACAO --- Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri reeled off seven successive birdies to make the play-off but missed the title after losing to Thailands Pavit Tangkamolprasert on the final day of the Venetian Macao Open on Sunday.There were four Indians in top-eight -- S Chikkarangappa ending tied third, Rahil Gangjee finished seventh and Rashid Khan signing off tied-eighth.Jyoti Randhawa (71) was tied 34th, SSP Chawrasia (70) and Chiragh Kumar (71) were tied 34th, Shankar Das (75) was tied 46th, Daniel Chopra (70) was tied 51st, Khalin Joshi (71) and Gaganjeet Bhullar (73) were tied 57th and Arjun Atwal (75) was tied 81st.Pavit seemed to have kept his nerve for the 18th hole birdie, but it turned out that he may have benefitted from the lack of leaderboards on 16th and 17th. Pavit admitted he didnt know Lahiri was on a birdie blitz and said, I didnt see the scores on the back nine as there was no leaderboard.Lahiri said: One of the things that didnt help me was there was no leaderboards on the 16 and 17. If he had seen I had caught up and I was two back, on the 17the tee, it would be a harder shot. If hes thinking hes four ahead, its easier for him to play the last two holes.The first seven holes belonged to Pavit, who started one behind Lahiri. Pavit birdied four times, while the Indian was two-over. Pavit was 13-under after seven on Sunday, while Lahhiri was eight-under walking off the seventh green.ddddddddddddChikka was 12-under and Chan Shih-chang nine-under. Then Lahiri began his charge over the next 11 holes. He birdied the eighth and ninth, parred 10th and bogeyed 11th.The last seven were successive birdies, including a near-eagle at the very end. In the play-off Lahiri went into the rough and it was all over, when he went into the water on the second shot, and Pavit captured his first Asian Tour title.It was Lahiris third second place in four years at Venetian Macao Open. He had won in 2014.Its been a struggle the last few months but I cant say Im playing my best golf either, Lahiri said. But when it comes down to getting it done, you go into these trains of mind and you dont see anything else but the bottom of the cup.Having got into play-off, he wanted the momentum. I got really quick, he said. On the tee shot, I was happy I won the toss and I wanted to go first and put it on the fairway. I think I rushed into that and I was trying to lay up but the rough was a bit thick. It caught the ball and I pulled it left. I guess that was unfortunate to finish like that. Im happy with the way I played the back nine but disappointed that I finished second again. ' ' '
