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.

    Oliver at FF.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
