    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    The rest of the year was supposed to be a trial and acclimatisation for all our youth and second-line players. The FD are still nuts.

     

    I tipped Freo at around 4.39pm, well before the injury update. I might put some cash on them now as well.

    Petty ahead of Oscar..

    Quiet a statement there.

    Not really - not only is he not even named in the VFL this week, Oscar hasn't played since he was dropped, having missed the last Casey match as well. 4-6 week case of mystery injury syndrome?

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

     

    Hogan last year, back within a couple of weeks.

    Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense.

    As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

    Tonight's outs make stuff all difference. Freo was winning yesterday and is still winning tonight.

    Didn’t we draft a big weapon from , was it North, to park up at Ff and chop out max ?

    hows he tracking? Anyone got some dead horse

    Not sure Petty is needed.

    May can take Hogan.

    Frost can take Cox.

    Hore can also help out in the key defenders department.

    The rest of their forward line are full of dangerous smalls such as Walters and Matera.

    Hoping the Petty selection isn’t a waste of time.


    The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

    I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

    it will come and

    why wouldn't we bring in a player lacking mobility against a  side who loves to create run and carry opportunities from their back half

    Yes quite.  Oscar has not convinced too many that he has the goods to be a consistent KPD.  

    His strengths include a good defensive punch and being a very tidy kick.  However his game day handballing skills, body strength and ground speed will keep him at Casey.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    Not sure why you're so mad mate? I'm not stating things as fact just putting forward a discussion point about the injuries.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
