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?

    Yes there are  two  spots which can be filled from the SSD list between now and March some date.

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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
