Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back. 

Yep, we are really missing reasonable rebound and eyes-up midfielders.

The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height. 

That was when he was recruited.  Anyone stood next to him at VFL huddles to asses??

Bayley is not going to play CHF , expect Petty to start there . Turner will be FB and Mitch or Ben will start on the bench . Dees to win by 56 pts.

So you reckon Lever and Turner as our only key defenders, and then Petty, Brown and Brown, with Jackson to rotate, all playing forward? Nah.

Blokes of the quality of Tommo and Hunt getting dropped shows that our depth is still good

would be fantastic if Turner develops quickly as we need another tall option back as Smith is constantly injured

Nothing against M Brown but if Weids can't get a game whats that saying about Weids???

Gotta rely on B Brown and Fritch to kick a few each and supported by the smalls inc Trac

I think everyone knows what it says about Sam - Goodwin said in his presser he has been told he needs to improve (my words significantly) on certain things - my guess is 

- not being easily pushed off the ball

- bringing the ball to ground and stopping his opponent marking

- compete with some aggression when not in possession 

- heaven forbid kick a few goals 

- run hard to create space and an option for players up the field 

there may be more I don’t know but whatever it is he’s not close to a recall based on what I’m hearing unless he starts playing with a bit more physicality

I'm not so sure re Petty at CHF CoolX.  If my memory serves me correct, going on what Goody hinted in yesterday's pressor, BBB & Mitch more than likely the  starters up forward.

Not saying we won't swing Petty up forward at some stage but if we're playing 'the Demon way' i doubt it.  If he goes forward it's probably going to be in hope if the two talls (announced in starting line up) fail to fire.

This is all absolutely correct and just about applies in equal measure to Jackson.

20 of last years Grand Final 23 are playing.  Missing Rivers, TMac and May.  That's a very strong side.

Two pretty major key spine (book end)  players though Swooper and don't really have genuine replacements for either.

However, if Turner slots in tomorrow he might cover off Maysie's role.  Who knows he might even play a ripper.

Then fingers crossed at least one of Mitch, BBB or Dogga can fire up in F50 to give us something.  Surely one of them can get going.  Third time lucky!?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
