Of course it could but he’s not played a big part this year. We have options. I remain confident. 

At no point have I said I am not confident

But it would be delusional to suggest that losing Petty for perhaps the rest of the season, isn’t going to really hurt the one part of the ground that has been lacking for us. 
We also have no idea when or in what state Fritsch will return.

    Hugely disappointing but on the bright side we have our number 1 key forward locked in for the foreseeable future. He looked good again today before he went down. 

    He's been injured a lot. It's a worry.

    I mean I’m no expert but judging Petty’s spirits after the game I highly doubt it’s a long term injury.

    No point worrying about injuries, they are bound to happen

    The problem with losing Petty was that he was forming a good partnership with JVR and the other forwards. As for replacements Smith seems the best option and playing Gawn/Grundy a kick behind the play.

    Your right. I feel sorry for the bloke. He's had a shocking run with them. And it wonderful form. Not sure who we replace him with. Grundy will probably get the nod.

    Goodwin’s already said it’s not short term. Petty is probably being a good team man, no point sooking and bringing down the mood for everyone else

    Enter the wizard, Jeffo!!

    No chance, he is not senior ready yet by a long way.

    That’s a blow, anyone who thinks that Brown, McDonald or Smith can replace him need to take their rose coloured glasses off

    It’s a blow, but to all the wrist-slitters might I gently remind you that we beat Collingwood with not only Oliver out of the team, but Petty as well.

    You might do well to take a leaf out of his book.

    Said it in the post game thread. Post game Lever went up to Petty and appeared to check on him but had a very shocked look on his face from what Petty told him

    I think we will see Grundy back. Maybe he will surprise us all.

    I’m taking solace from when Ross Lyon said Max King was done for the year a month ago yet he’s back playing today.

    But it does seem Petty’s going to struggle to get back soon.

    Yes please, I'm going to hang onto this as well.

    God damn  it. I was behind the goals today and had a great view of Pettys goal just after half time not long before he went off. 
    It was a fantastic goal for lots of reasons- the ball looked like coming in just before hand and I watched him take his defender and then put body on Melksham defender to free up space for Melksham. 
    When the ball wasn’t delivered  he faked a lead and then led into space and took a great make before kicking a tough kick. Awesome goal. 
     

    I turned to my partner and said if he plays like that for rest of season we win the flag. Two mins later I watched him hobble off ☹️

    What options do you suggest who haven't recently failed? BBB and T Mac are cooked. Grundy has never been a capable forward, and Smith is unproven.

    Petty and JVR are the only 2 key forwards who have looked like taking a contested mark, in addition to being mobile. Petty is not replaceable.

    Sounds like a Lisfranc which is what he had before coming back

    He could not have had a Lisfranc. That’s a 12 month injury not a 5 week injury.

    I prefer Joel Smith behind the ball. He’s athleticism is better suited to straight lines. He won the ball back a couple of times today and looked great.

    I’d like Grundy in, and a chance to look at him and Max again.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
