R.Petterd 20d 15k 5h 3 goals 4 marks to 3 qrt time. Good stuff Ricky Bobby!

 

How good has Petterd been tonight! I like him playing up the ground a bit more, then resting deep

Mrs Ucanchoose here - I've been reading this thread while watching the game, and finding myself more and more amused with the antics of some of the posters tonight regarding Tom Scully - it's like I'm reading the posts of a bunch of women on a parenting messageboard, arguing about the best way to toilet train your toddler!

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 6-2 9-6 16-8-104

Port Adelaide 2-2 6-4 10-5-65

Goals: Jurrah, Petterd, Maric (3), Green (2), Jones, Nicholson, Gysberts, Martin, Sylvia

Disposals: Moloney, Sylvia (22), Petterd (20), Green, Jones, Trengove (17), Gysberts (16), Martin, Tapscott (15)

Go Ricky and Hank.

Is it his fault he is being offered money?... regardless, he is a player who has played less than 30 games and he deserves credit when he does good things... just like any other player.

YAY lets turn the game day thread into the Tom Scully thread cos we havnt discussed that much.....???


Petterd has been excellent as have Maric and Jones... I finally realised who Maric reminds me of to look at.. Kostya Tszyu!

Edited by hardtack

Yes I do say so... and all is explained by the fact you talk about him in past tense. Those grapes must be very sour.

He is doing some very good things for a sub 30 game player. He is an extremely quick learner and will only get better as he gets more experience.

Well said...This past tense thing is giving me the Sh!tes..Tom Scully is wearing an MFC Jumper right now.

Hope Watts is subbed off. He has done a lot of hard running and is spent.

Morton can stay on. We have this game in the bag, and he definitely wont be playing next week so no need to keep him fresh.
 

Much better quarter from Scully. Getting into it a lot more and actually running Cornes off his feet. Good work!

This is entirely in relation to his game today.

Agree entirely.

Don't we have a thread for the compulsive obsessive types who have nothing else to discuss 24/7 than one Tom Scully's contractual arrangements?

Yes Jack has done a lot of work unnoticed really. But a great Team effort..Nice one Jack.

Same with Tom Scully.

Scully copped a knock in the back in the third quarter, it did trouble him a little.

Scully subbed off.

Cue haters.

They are on auto-cue. But was great to see Howe straight into the action with an excellent tackle.


Scully subbed, can you believe it!

Hurt his shoulder in the marking contest.

Port first goal to Cornes. Why do certain players have to play their best game against us lol

Chadwick gets one back. Dees 16-9-105 Port 11-5-71.

 

message from Mr Ucanchoose - Morton = meataxe!!

Morton really concerns me, I guess the conditions don't really suit him tonight but his disposal has been very poor.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
