Was at the Forum. I'm not sure whether it was during Goody's presentation or during Q & A.

Thanks guys. Missed that bit among all the reports about the forum. Won't roll over it again now as I guess it's been covered, but seems a strange call given he looked better in the small amount he played forward, than back.

Goodwin has stated Petty will play forward and Joel Smith back

Thats great info... and it makes sense.

I'm assuming you mean Joel?

Yep, sorry, should have clarified.

I do agree with you that he looked good, however the switch may be made depending on the attributes /performance of the pair. I do see a bit of a young Nieta in Petty so happy to give him the first crack.

    I'm probably the odd one out on Demonland currently, but I'm not as enthusiastic as most about Petty forward. Hope he goes well though.

    Maybe this is a sign that some tall forwards will be rotated between Casey and the D's.  Playing those who deserve the spot on effort/results.

    I reckon he's an upgrade on the Tim Smith/Cam Pederson role

    There never will be another Cam. Hopefully, Mitch can fill a current void and settle into a real career with the MFC. Very handy kicks and grabs that we lack in the forward line - but he had two knee constructions, didn't he?

    A good forward who can kick a set shot from long distance. Rare as hens teeth these days. Will be a good back up player replacement for Weideman whilst we wait for him to break out of his inertia.  If it ever happens. 

    I would have posited that : ...Weideman would be a good back-up player for Mitch.'

    two way working forward line with guys like Melksham, Fritsch and Petracca as marking options hitting the space

    Must agree with this in the longer run ... space is everything going forward ...

    80 games over 8 seasons.

    I liked his best footy but lets not call it a real career. He was fringe at best

    Back to Brown.. I'm pretty sure he would be a tad better "Go To" Forward than Spargo who at one stage last year lined up at FF.

    How is it not a real career? It’s better than yours or mine at that level.

    Noting he let himself down badly for most of his time at the top level by not truely committing to the standard required, but it was real.

    I still cant understand the love for Jackson.

    Started out at around pick 10, Cal pumped his tyres and linked him to Melbourne 

    Suddenly he is a lock in at pick 3.

    Amazing given we have no short or medium requirement for a developing ruckman,

    are crying out for quality disposers,speed,  good kickers and smallcrumbers, we are odds on to pick Jackson

    Just don't understand the strategy.

    Kemp Serong Ash and Green would all be ahead in my view.

    I read or heard somewhere we were into Jackson from back around June of this yr Kent. Cal prob got some late mail and made hay while the sun shined I would have thought. 
     

    My understanding Is that we have been watching Jackson for a while and were keen to get him based on what we had seen.  This gave me a little more comfort in understanding the decision in that it wasn’t a last minute decision to get a player.

    I think we traded into 8 to get him and then realised it wasn't early enough.

    Sure Cam

    I’m playing catch up on what’s been happening. 
     

    Do we have a spot for both Bennell and Brown on the list?

    Think everyone learnt that after Norf made a mess of the Bonar one.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
