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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
