Of course it could but heโ€™s not played a big part this year. We have options. I remain confident.ย 

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, isnโ€™t going to really hurt the one part of the ground that has been lacking for us.ย 
We also have no idea when or in what state Fritsch will return.ย

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.ย 

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

I mean Iโ€™m no expert but judging Pettyโ€™s spirits after the game I highly doubt itโ€™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.

Goodwinโ€™s already said itโ€™s not short term. Petty is probably being a good team man, no point sooking and bringing down the mood for everyone elseย

Enter the wizard, Jeffo!!

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

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


Itโ€™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.ย

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

all teams get injuries. Port are shorthanded at the moment and pies just lost Daicos. we'll adapt and win the flag anyways


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.

Iโ€™m taking solace from when Ross Lyon said Max King was done for the year a month ago yet heโ€™s back playing today.

But it does seem Pettyโ€™s going to struggle to get back soon.

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

God damn ย 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.ย 
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.ย 
When the ball wasnโ€™t delivered ย he faked a lead and then led into space and took a great make before kicking a tough kick. Awesome goal.ย 
ย 

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 โ˜น๏ธ

Frittata nearly ready?

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. Thatโ€™s a 12 month injury not a 5 week injury.ย 

ย 

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

Iโ€™d like Grundy in, and a chance to look at him and Max again.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
