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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
