He’s copping it big time from the Lion Filth online. 
Enough for me to hope Jeelong win next week 

the Lions are a durge club 

Eye Goughers….

Brisbane players were making fun of him - I hope Geelong cream them

The whole booing fiasco of Petty and Zorko was cringeworthy.

The clubs (at least) publicly resolved the issue and the crowd should’ve left it at that.

All it did was spur on Zorko who played well.

Petty was getting in McCarthy's face last night, and the wiping away tears response was predictable, and made Petty look like a sook. Petty should have just minded his own business all night and focused on his job

The whole incident spurred Brisbane on, and they who laughed last laughed loudest!

I think you answered your own question mate.

I'd rather keep him back too, but we need forwards, so as a stop gap selection in game or if we suffer injuries like this year, I reckon he'd be very good forward.

Edit. I used to be against moving Petty at all, but I've become an advocate for it as we haven't been able to address our KPF issue and Weideman hasn't come on, and TMac's injury has made it painfully clear we need more KPFs.

Unless we can land a KPF forward I agree Petty forward will be needed.

If and it’s a big IF we could find a suitable replacement down back Harrison could fill TMacs shoes as he has big engine as well. I was surprised by how much Territory young Petty covers.

At what stage of his career did AA CHB Neitz, later Coleman medalist, go forward?  3-4 years?

I've lost a lot of respect for Brisbane in the last month.

Yet despite that I hope they put the Cats out of everybody’s misery next week

One of if not Taylor’s most inspired selections to date.

Will never forget his debut against the Saints at the G where one of his kicks literally ran along the ground sideways.

Since then the bloke has been a pillar of strength. Will finish as a Melbourne champion.

My fave currrent player.

The one positive (only in an insight sense) from last night's game was witnessing what Petty can bring up forward.  So for 2023....

Weid to take Petty's place.  Can also pinch hit in the ruck with Max resting down back to help out when he does.

Petty goes forward as a permanent forward.

Macca as the other tall forward.

Start blooding JVR for Macca when Macca is being occasionally rested/managed throughout the season as needed.  JVR also in when we occasionally need a third tall to stretch the oppo's defence etc.

Sydney turned McCartin's career around by sending him back.  Is it worth trying with the Weid Who also has rucking abilities up his sleeve?

Three potential wins if we can pull this off in 2023...

👉🏼  We gain a strong marking 'MOBILE' tall forward with significant AFL / Finals experience without having to trade one in.  And one who appears to be capable of kicking goals

👉🏼  Weid switches with Max in the ruck about 20% of time allowing Max to plug a hole down back.  Max no longer needing to rest as a forward where he rarely marks/hits the scoreboard anyway and is often wasting space for a better alternative.  Max often plays back now and intercepts quite well on occasions with pretty good outcomes.

👉🏼  No longer need to chase a back up ruck for Max assuming LJ is going.  Use that pick on a classy ball user with some pace through the middle or off HB.  Or alternatively go after another tall forward in case the Petty experiment fails and/or as a replacement for Macca when he retires.

Brisbane fans were disgraceful last night, thought they were better than that but that was absolute tripe from them, hope Geelong send them packing, bunch of arrogant tools. How they could find it in them to boo petts is beyond me. 

The fact anyone can defend Zorko as a captain is utterly contemptible.

I absolutely love him. He is so brave, so competitive, great composure under pressure, wonderful contested mark. He really has all the makings of an AA CHB or CHF. 

Totally agree - absolutely love the bloke, busts a gut every time. He could go up to CHF with Disco Turner replacing him in the back line.

Agree 

JVR Tmac Petty the three and BBB as depth and at least a draft key forward again this year. 
Weid a replacement for Jacko. As2nd ruck and small forward play.

This was one of the reasons I didn't want this rematch so soon. Didn't trust everyone involved to have the mental fortitude to move past this with ease.

Classless morons.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
