The FD's been trialling Joel up forward (mostly) at Casey (and if my memory serves me correct i understand they trained him in this role also?) when he came back from injury.

Unless there's a change to the FD's thinking over the break i can't see him playing back in 2023 (barring injuries).

    He played the Grand Final down back and was great. I'm predicting him to be our big improver. He's more than due not to get injured.

    Yes as Melk came in W.  I dont think they're looking to play him in defence in 2023 (bar injuries to like sized defenders) but been wrong before.

    I like Joel Smith but if he's starting in our back 6 we could be in strife

    Tim Lamb today:

    "We've got some other options with the talls on our list, so Goody and the coaches are really open to being quite creative with some of the talent we've already got there"

    Whilst that might mean J. Smith, Howes or even Turner at CHF to me that's as strong as an indication as we've seen of Petty forward 2023.

    I would be interested in mimicking Collingwoods forward structure. 2 rotating rucks with 3 medium talls. 

    Could look like 

    Pickett Grundy/Gawn Spargo 

    Sheezel Fritsch Petracca 

     

    Or

     

    Pickett Grundy/Gawn Spargo 

    Fritsch JVR/Petty Sheezel

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
