Petterd crunched in a marking contest, goes down, bounces back to throw a Tiger defender to the ground and wins a free for incorrect disposal.

Result? 50 metre goal.

Sensational second effort and great for a kid who looked terrific round one and has felt the pressure since. Really gave some back.

For some reason the papers don't mention it.

    That was just below where we sit, a great effort, but as I have said in the case of Jetta, Bailey doesn't pick players because it's all he has left, he appreciates Petterd's efforts, he has been taking a battering in the last couple of weeks but backs up all the time..great effort and great goal, and still only young.....this team is going to be HARD

    superb piece of play. It's what i want to see more often from the dees, he made the contest, sure he went to ground against a couple of opponents but he immediately got himself back into the fight for the ball and hung on for dear life in a tackle. It was great to see us actually stick one!

    Richmond had all the momentum in the last quater. That play may well have saved the game for us.

    I thought Petterd was super yesterday. It is pretty clear that if he can stay injury and incident free, there is only upside in him. What I love is that he is aggressive and gutsy.

    Slowly becoming a very exciting medium forward.

    I liken him to a Robert Murphy

    I heard Bruce on radio after the game, liken Petterd to Paul Medhurst........? You think Brucey?

    It did make the 8 games/8 moments section on the AFL website.

    Still pretty happy with selecting him as the player to have a breakout year. Although Frawley is certainly giving him a run for his money at the moment.

    When I saw the likes of Frawley, Bennell showing dash and attack and penetrate into the forward 50 from the centre, running from the half back line to deliver and hit the likes of Miller and Newton. They were my plays-of-the-day. That's our future right there. Fast transition and movement, breaking lines.

    Yeah, my play of the day (nothing against Petterd's great effort) was seeing Frawley take the game on and sprint through the centre corridor with pace. That attack of half back is what we need.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
