RICKY PETTERD TO DEBUT VERSUS FREO, and possibly Colin Garlan

Seriously, I can't remember a time (perhaps mid-90's) when we were so screwed.

Neitz, Rivers, McLean, Johnstone, Robertson, Moloney, Sylvia, Pickett, Bartram....what did we do to deserve the footy gods wrath?

I reckon Ricky Petterd will be a good player for this footy club, but has anyone seen how skinny he is? No way he should be playing senior footy (1) because the season's not over yet and (2) he's simply not physically ready.

Last week we were lucky not to lose by 80+ points, this week we are facing an absolute obliteration at the hands of Freo who match up well against our best side.

Ummmm, bring on 08?

    I understand the reason for dropping Bate, but I wish it wouldn't happen, other than that I'm reasonably happy with those changes if true. one other thing though, I'm surprised that Buckley isn't going to have an opportunity before Petterd, my understanding was that he was fairly close to senior selection.

    Bate is out of touch and needs a week back at Sandy.

    I'm also suprised Buckley hasn't been given a run this week. Pickett is of some concern. He'll play as a pinch hitter of the bench.

    I hope Pettard makes the cut. I will be PUMPED to see some new blood in the red and blue.

    fingers crossed he makes the cut.

    Dunn will play over garland.

    Just maybe the footygods are making this happen to cause us to make the necessary changes required in order for our future success.

    Why, it's for his own good, his future depends on learning the right things to do. Or as Barassi would say, "learn to do the right thing at the right time".

    At 78 kg he's already heavier than McDonald and Brown whilst not being significantly taller.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
