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

    very exciting what a difference between his efforts in the contest and physicality compared to newtons...

    Very well might be the death knell for Newton's career.

    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.

    Great debut, one of many positives last night.

    well i know its harsh but i hope so cant keep going down that path hes just not up to it .

    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.

    Rapt to witness the birth of The Hurricane. (Yeah i know, it's similar to Jurrahcane but i wasn't thinking of that at the time lol). And his first goal! Niceeee!!

    You little beauty. Long way to go but looking forward to the journey

    HOWEEEE DO THAT!!!?? < my future catch cry

    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.

    Agree.

    He's having a rest.

    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.

  • Quote

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
