HarrisonPetty2019Review.png

After the disappointment of one solitary game in his debut season, the 197cm tall Harry Petty blossomed as a versatile key position player with the ability to impact at both ends of the field. He has a bright future with the club and will be a valuable option for the Demons in the years to come.

    I well remember the usual suspects after his far from flattering debut in a disastrous game, when he was in the company of many teammates who underperformed, writing him off as a spud, dud, list clogger etc.

    It would be great were he to make them all choke on their words.

    Showed some good signs as a forward.

    I have seen him play a lot at Casey, to be honest I cannot remember him playing in the forward line. Never showed he was senior player in the games that I saw.

    I was quite surprised how well he played at senior level this year.

    Or of the big positives for me.

    Was actually playing good footy down back, but then moved forward and showed that he had the tricks and trade to become a genuine key forward. There were times where he marked the ball one touch without any fumbals. I believe he has been told that he will be training with the forwards during the pre season which will give us another good marking option alongside Weideman and McDonald. 

    Is at a good height at 197cm tall and 92k. I expect him to add more size to his frame so he can get to that 100kg mark and really starting his using frame a bit more.

    Absolutely something to work with here.

    One of those players that can mark the ball at his highest point as it were. Makes it very difficult to defend against.

    Took a very positive step fwd this year. A lot to look fwd to.

    MFC website lists him as 89kg. The OP has him at 99kg. I hope the latter is correct.

    Thankfully Goodwin's appalling decision to gift Petty a debut in 2018 didn't completely destroy his confidence, and he showed good signs at both ends of the field this year. I think he can become a really good long term player for the club if we look after him properly.

    Wasn't really a appalling decision when a player is actually in good strong form in the VFL like Petty was.

    But hey, anything to kick [censored] can Goody at all cost..

    One of few genuine positives from 2019 imo.  Looks like a real 'prospect' who has come a long way in a short time, and he's still very young for a KPP, with lots of time to develop further.  His apparent versatility is also very appealing, and I wonder where on the ground he'll  ultimately settle.  I'll be fascinated to see if he trains with the backs or forwards in the upcoming preseason.

    At one stage he ran 80 metres at full tilt to get back from helping out in defence, just in time to jump across the front of the pack to  take a contested mark at its highest point.   Weid did a similar thing in 2018 but didn't go on with it this year.  Will wait and see.

    I like him because I get the vibe that the opposition doesn't.  Has some mongrel in his game.

    Frost clearly should have been playing that game rather than a first year key defender. In a two point loss you can easily argue that selection had a major impact in us losing the game.

    Agree with this. He has a lot of development to come and has an 'edge' to the way he plays and interacts with the opposition. I want to see him developed as a forward after his games last season.

    He has more potential than Omac to me. but its still early days. his improvement is promising.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
