Insanely premature to make this call off the back of one game, particularly given he’s struggled (IMO) previously.

His last game up forward he kicked 4 in a half then went off injured.

    Petty reads the ball flight so well. 

    Interested to see who goes out for Fritch when fit. can’t be a small, and Melksham is playing some influential footy. 

    Presumably track plays more midfield.

    Marquee forwards are nearly impossible to land and cost a fortune, the idea we could pluck one to begin with is hard.

    That said, I’m not turning down Jezza Cameron or Lynch on below market money because of one amazing Petty game.

    But unless that happens we should aim for another quality swing man or good depth talls with scope for both ends.

    Petty and JVR have at least provided reason not to panic and pay massive overs for questionable players.

    That’s the nicest and most positive post you have written DS. Very frugal and kind of you. Aaawwww, you are a softie after all 😳😜😳😳😳😳😳😳😜🤣

    Our forward structure has been addressed over the past 3 weeks (105, 97, 130). Petty has replaced BBB, and certainly looked like a huge upgrade. Fritta for Woey, and our forwardline should be locked in. 

    No Grundy or Spargo for the rest of the year.

    Why on earth are we being offered jez or lynch below market value? These sorts of hypotheticals are ridiculous.

    Yes, I’m trolling because I said this a premature call.

    I’m excited about the Combination of Petts , Roo and Melky 

    Fritter comes back and we have Kozzie and Chandler looking good too.

    Stick with that for the rest of the year now

    Is it fair to say we are now set with this forward set up with Fritsch the only inclusion here on??

    I'm going to say yes. Contests like no other, always reads it well and gets the good sit. I'm yet to see him get caught under it the ball. Most importantly he kicks straight and hasn't overcomplicated his routine yet, shades of the T-mac 2017 change.

    This is the boat that takes us there for mine.

    First time in a long time we have got another leviathan taking massive pack grabs and kicking truely and snapping truely off his non preferred.

    We have another Larrikin as a Power Forward.🔥👏🇱🇮🏆

    Top 2 just sitting there to be taken.

    Definitely in 2023… 

    I hope longer term because they are so hard to procure and very costly to acquire.

    My one question would be on the craft that was shown but we were dumping it in there and he worked with what we gave him and that’s all you can ask for. 

    The other thing to think about is in a forward line with Fritsch and Petracca - maybe a longer, ‘dumpier’ option is preferred… 

    It was great to see.

    Can I just say wowza on this Petty performance! That was some kind of performance. 

    Some of his contested marking was absolutely nuts and then his ability to provide pressure when the ball hits the ground is first class.

    I mean realistically take your pick between Petty and JVR

    Have we potentially just saved huge cap space in going out and buying a marquee forward?? I think so now!

    I laughed at the posts saying he couldn’t play forward and even more at the posts that said he was a poor kick for goal.

    However, we still need to draft another key forward and then we will have 4 key forwards we can use.

    We develop him like we did with JVR.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
