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.

    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!

    • 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.

      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.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
