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.

GUN GUN GUN GUN GUN.

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!

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
