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

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

Petty reads the ball flight so well.ย 

Interested to see who goes out for Fritch when fit. canโ€™t be a small, and Melksham is playing some influential footy.ย 

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, Iโ€™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.

Thatโ€™s the nicest and most positive post you have written DS. Very frugal and kind of you. Aaawwww, you are a softie after all ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคฃ

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.ย 

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.ย

You're talking rubbish troll

Yes, Iโ€™m trolling because I said this a premature call.ย 

Iโ€™m excited about the Combination of Petts , Roo and Melkyย 

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

Stick with that for the rest of the year now

Never said we were. Just answering the OPs question.

Petty 1st tall

JVR 2nd tall

Fritsch Half forward?


  • Author

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

ย 

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 importantlyย 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.

Edited by layzie

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.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ†

Top 2 just sitting there to be taken.

JVR and Petty both have swaggerย 

essential ingredient in key forwards

The jury is still out on whether Fritsch will be back this year dd.

He'll be back.

Definitely in 2023โ€ฆย 

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 thatโ€™s all you can ask for.ย 

The other thing to think about is in a forward line with Fritsch and Petracca - maybe a longer, โ€˜dumpierโ€™ option is preferredโ€ฆย 

It was great to see.

the answer is clearly obvious - delist.

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

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 couldnโ€™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.

  • 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
