Play him at full forward.

Not sure about his marking.  He copped a couple of significant hand injuries. 

That said his recuperative powers are legendary 🙌

    The club has the scans but isn't commenting on them.

    Maybe, like with May, they don’t want to scare anyone?

    I mentioned it yesterday but not to blame Sparrow - he's one of my faves! It was more frustration that it occurred after a relatively straightforward skill error. But not vitriol at all so I hope no-one took it that way.

    Gonzo - I can see that a lot of readers did take it that way.

    Not really related to the injury, but given what we have seen with Petty and JVR forward should we be targeting a key defender in the off season?

    I personally would look at getting a key tall to play alongside May & Lever and leave Petty as a key forward.

    I've heard that Adam Tomlinson goes alright 😁

    Here is another fun fact, high heels were designed by the Persians in the 10th centruy for their cavalry so they had better grip in the stirrups.

    Deadset not against this. But I'd prefer it only happen for 10 minutes bursts.

     

    Have made the suggestion many times with mates. Reminiscent of Michael Voss going forwards at times - always seemed to pull a goal or 2 out hos backside in games at death when required and thrown into the goalsquare out of desperation to change the mix

    Definitely not aimed at you Gonzo. We were all a bit frustrated with that kick I think yesterday even me. 

    Some of the talk today though almost suggesting he should feel guilty? Give us a breather.

    Soft modern-day  football boots is the problem.  The past players' association should insist on our players only wearing  Ron Barassi boots with  appropriate metal caps (ouch, kicking in danger) and thick leather soul and hard leathered skin.

    And high ankle support. Modern boots sacrifice support for flexibility and mobility.

    On the subject of Sparrow's poor delivery to Petty, causing an injury, I recall a similar debate raging about someone getting injured circa. 2017 - maybe the Hogan broken leg? Any ideas? To me, it looked like our young brigade (Bowey, McVee, Sparrow, and Rivers) had watched a bunch of videos and were overcompensating for wind that didn't exist. Brayshaw and Salem were also ****housen with the kicking/floating handballs though. I think the latter also got suspended via angry pills in a corresponding match on the apple isle?

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but all over SEN melbourne this morning that Petty has a lisfranc injury, unsure of severity with a very vague timeline of 6 weeks - 6 months 🤮

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
