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.

Yep just like every other year, wrecked through injury. 

Except for last year when a worldwide once in a 100 year pandemic nullified our fitness advantage.

Just as well we had no takers for Tmac!

Exactly why every list need depth.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
