How bad is the injury to Saty?  Hasn't appeared at all this pre-season.

Fair way to take the scooter from Richmond to East Cranbourne.

Really hope Petty gets back on the park in 2021.  Showed enough to suggest he’s worth development as a versatile tall back or tall forward.

My understanding Petty around Christmas or late 2020 contracted a disease ( sickness) which restricted his training snd body strength.

As a result Burgo is handling him with TLC as he patiently resumes full training on his modified style program.

I honestly don't know the health of his groin issues which were of course last seasons problems and I can only go on that We have to wait an see the progress in front of our own eyes or as reported by the power(s) that be Burgo.

This is not a good sign. I sure hope we got Richmond’s doctors to look over him before we signed him...

For the meagre picks we gave, it would still be worth taking him on as a project player that spends the rest of his career battling to get on the park.


Far out, just when you start getting excited for the start of the season, something like this pops up and brings the mood back down. Persistent swelling throughout preseason? Work your magic Doc Feller.

Is swelling an injury? Just sounds like Dr Feller will be working out how to manage it best.

On good money, over several years. He isn’t a project player.

Don't reckon it's time to panic just yet...

 

 

Wait til Thursday.

Panic should always be initiated at the earliest possible opportunity.

MFCSS demands it.

Well I'm not saying we knowingly take on a player that will never get on the park. But you have to make some kind of radical change and take a risk, if you've persisted for two years with the same personel.

BB battling to get on the park, even on that money, still fills the supporters with far more confidence and hope for the future, if he gets it right, than having Preuss lining up at CHF and the club languishing down at 11th on the ladder again.

Exactly why every list need depth.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
