I hope Petterd takes note, but I also want him back in the team as soon as possible and playing like we know he can play. He has had a couple of absolute shockers but he has been a fantastically creative forward and I would like to see him back for the Collingwood game (Casey form permitting).

I like him, and would love to see him back in form, but I can't see why we would make any changes for the Collingw@@d game, other than for Sylvia if he can't get right, but considering it was just a corky I would imagine he would be fine.

Strong debut .... I had been expecting more of a 'flashy' player, but the best part for me is that he worked really hard doing the 1%ers and the team things.

What impressed me most was his second efforts, when he lost it: He chased hard to get it back

Agree. Add to that a wonderful shepherd and the fact Essendon actually had to defend him tightly, he was a real difference maker last night. A great back-up test next week.

One of the more impressive debuts I have seen.

Composed, excellent disposals either side of the body, works hard up and down the ground 2 provide options, does the little things like shepherds.

Ricky Petterd is going to have a hard time getting back in the side based on Howe's performance last night.

Like Morton and Bennel, I'm glad Petterd was dropped a couple of times bc he really really needed a kick up to back side- his intensity and willingness to win the contested ball was severely lacking.

But... must like Morton and Bennel, Petterd has WAY too much talent to be languishing at VFL for too long.

He's one of the most talented players in the team. If he learns to play with a bit more DaisyThomas-esk grunt, he could become a great player. He will be back soon

Might be true, but he doesn't deserve to just walk back into the side.

Like Dunn and Bate, he needs to go back to Casey and play consistent football there for 3-4 weeks. And if there's no spot for him in the MFC side, so be it. He lost it, he has to earn it back.

Of course, we're just as likely to play insipidly on QB as anything, so we might see him back sooner rather than later. But there is little to be gained by reverting straight back to the tried players when the younger ones are doing their jobs.

I don't know why I just love him.

I have a tiny concern abit like Jurrah that he flies a touch too often.. keeping your feet is a key in helping the forward press to work but hey, I'll forgive him if he keeps taking hangers.

that 'pet' name is totally disgusting and should not be allowed on this site. if the administrators condone it then it reflects very poorly on this supporter website.

Dare I say he shows his physicality and toughness without jumper punching...

Who knew you could be a tough 192cm forward, take contested marks, tackle, and be considered tough without no jumper punching...

Shown more, than the bloke I am referring to, has all year.

The future is getting tight for a few.

In my opinion, Jeremy Howe and that Nicholson kid were two of the biggest positives to come out of this game. Two first gamers who were not overawed by the situation and were able to display good footskills and a real willingness to do the "team things," as they say.

Totally agree with you Chook! Howe was outstanding for a first gamer! Looking forward to seeing alot more of him!

Green was good last night.

Settling into his captaincy role.

Ease off.

I thought his skills once the ball hit the deck were pretty good too.

Me too Like what I saw.

He obeys the No.1 Jack Dyer rule

" don't get where the ball ain't"

when you compare him to the other players who play a similar role, high leading forward, dunn, petterd and bate, he looks to be of a highers standard, especially in the air. what i liked the most was that he would throw himself at the ball, and 9/10 get two hand on it and make a great contest. petterd sometimes can make an aerial contest but dunn and bate struggle, they are more players who rely on their hard leading. howe slot in perfectly, and i really really enjoyed watching this bloke go about it. shepperd on heppell was nearly the highlight of the match for me!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
