My guess is Petty is out for the season. His ankle buckled inward, nasty.

Goodwin confirmed that it wasn't a short-term injury so ...

In a game of inches, there goes the chance at a flag?

Not at all, you shift and adapt. Grundy gets his moment and Tomlinson goes back? Let’s see who we play against Carlton

Why pray tell.

Dees players will be fired up especially with Oliver and Fritsch possibly returning very soon.

Relax . have a glass of milk.

You can only adapt if you have the pieces. On admittedly limited evidence, Petty is head and shoulders above the alternatives.

    Been Radio silence in Fritsch I'm not positive he'll make it back hope I'm wrong

    I’d have Fritsch as a finals inclusion.

    Petty is averaging less than a goal a game and has already missed 6 games this year. It's a big loss but we can recover.

    But he was averaging 4 goals a game the past 2 weeks. His recent form was promising. 

    I agree it’s not the end of the world. He only returned last week and we won 3 straight without him, including Brisbane and Adelaide.

    Petty big loss, we just don't have someone else with his size and mongrel to attack it and kick goals.

    JVR is now our main target which is a worry as much as I love what he has done this year. Maybe brown back he did give us a nice structure and takes a key back. the forward line was functioning relatively well in the few weeks before the petty party last week.

    Read the updates from @WalkingCivilWar

    Eyeing a round 24 return if there are no setbacks.

    Grundy to 60% ruck and Gawn to a Tom McDonald CHF role.

    The great thing is that we are getting goals from the small forwards.

    I have zero confidence in Smith as a full game goal contributing forward... sub is his role

    So let me get this straight. Grundy has sucked as forward for us this year & he did nothing in the VFL last week & you want to swap him for Petty ?

    Smith to go forward & Tomo to go back to CHF.

    Even if Clarry’s not ready please get Harmes out of our side. 

    I suggest we may see the Grundy forward experiment. 

    In Oliver Grundy

    Out Harmes Petty

     

     

    Yep I think so, however could we be tempted to play Brown in Pettys place?

    Go ask Petty how he’s feeling and tell Zeibel he’s been a royal pain in our behind for the 90 years he’s played and good riddance.

    How does it work then if all contenders lose key players?

    Daicos is much more important to us than petty.

    We have our leading goal scorer for the last few years in fritter to come back in.

    And for good measure we have bb and Grundy in reserve and tmac one week away from returning from injury.

    To replace daicos, the pies have, check notes, no one. And Murphy might be back for finals, but still a big loss

    And the lions haven't looked thesame side since Ashcroft went out. And he's not coming back.

    We can cover petty. Doesn't move the dial much.

    @Jaded No More surprisingly cannot see Petty! But also they're lining up for the flight behind where I am standing so that might explain it

    Terrible photo incoming when I get my internet to work

    Edit: Grundy is sitting with a North player and there are a few trainers kicking around.  Spargo also chatting with a friend rather than lining up

    Gawn is monstering the ruck and you want to newt him? I just can’t understand why anyone would do that.

    So they're both coming back on the same flight. 

    Go up to max and ask what the hell happened in that first quarter. He's pretty approachable. then ask goody if he sprayed them at quarter time

    Grundy is a more than adequate ruck replacement but he's useless as a forward.

    Play to your overall strengths not necessarily individual strengths.

    Would you prefer Schache or Smith up forward... the cupboard is bare

    Sorry, saw this too late!  They've all just left now.  I did shake hands with Grundy and told him to keep on keeping on!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
