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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
