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: 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.
