He's been underrated as part of a cohesive backline team ,how he goes in the chaos of the Melbourne forward line is uncertain ,given the small sample.

Either way they'll miss him

 

We’ll miss him not THEY?  Who are they ?

    I'm really surprised by those stats. I didn't think he'd played fwd that much. There not flattering performances.

    M9 has got wrong just like his opinion on Harry,

    since his 6 goal haul Petts has played only THIS season, and kicked one goal in 4 games. 

    He has limped other previous cameos etc and mulled the figures.

    its his confidence that shot and the naysayers are harsh he needs a real good game to hit form 

    Hoping this week vs Tigs is the breakout game and he is NOT NOT trying. It’s called confidence!!! 

    Go Harry !!

    Maybe you can enlighten. I've often wondered if your moniker relates to our disrupted six-peat as some sort of angst you've been holding onto for 65 years? Like the MFCSS version of long-Covid?

    Yeah something like that, I joined Ology around the Neeld era and remembered greater  competitive spirit, commitment and results from the glory years of my youth. 

    I have never seen a need to change  it even though most of those matters are now irrelevant .

    Numbers 6 , 9  , and 31 still belong to that era  for me emotionally

    I do remember a power Club off the field though and a genuine rivalry with Collingwood as a primary issue.

    Off course that's just a teenage memory I seem to share with similarly aged mates who support Collingwood .

    It was the worst of times.It was the worst of times.

    it was what it was.

    Actually-The whole quote from Dickens sums it up far better.

    It was the best if times.It was the worst of times.It was the age of wisdom(lack).It was the age of foolishness.it was the epoch of belief,it was the epoch of incredulity,it was the season of light,it was the season of darkness,it was the Spring of hope,it was the Winter of despair.

    I never even saw Charles at the ground.He must have watched it on Tele.

    We/Us/Our = MFC

    They/Them/Their = Everyone else.

    This makes it easy to distinguish between the two.

    Genuine nuffy level comment.

    It's a lack of nuance in the English language that it has only them and us (as opposed to other languages that have multiple words to describe groups that may or may not include the speaker, the reader, etc).

    But if you really want to get technical and claim supporters aren't "part" of the club: as a company limited by guarantee, any paid up member is legitimately a member of the club, with voting rights and other rights under the constitution and therefore can quite correctly refer to themselves as part of the Melbourne Football Club. So "we" is entirely appropriate in most instances around here.

    Average player with good speed who plays a role. Are you playing him ahead of Koz, Chandler or Nibbler?

    He’s an inside mid just waiting to happen though isn’t he? Wasted at half forward in my opinion. He’s got the weapons to be a bull inside, we’re very skinny for depth in there as well

    My reply was in response to a question.I dont need to justify it.

    I did like your notion of nuance in language and the possibilities that it present.

    I find some of what I have called conflation embarrassing,  but it doesn't matter much to me .

    I am content with watching them play and supporting their efforts.Apparently unlike the supporters on the balcony vs the Lions who were abusing the players( our team) 10 minutes into the first quarter.

    Summary ..Carry on ,I didn't raise the issue and I'm happy to watch them play ,appreciating their skills and courage.

    The "us and them " nonsense around here is sometimes embarrassing and childish though.

    At least outside of the coaches motivational instructions.

    Vicarious triumph and despair is for fat Presidents  who imagine they could/ should  have been a player .

    I was a little  like that in 64 without any of the qualifications you list.

    I don't think Dannyz would make the comment he made unless he had heard something pretty firm on the grapevine yes?

    IF this is another 2022 LJ situation then i'd much rather see us put more time into Fullarton in the short term from here.

    We could also trial other mediums that can play tall like smacca McAdam (once fit from approx end of this week) or of course Melk later when he's back.

    No matter what anyone says, if you've made the decision to move on, your body may be here but your mind / spirit has already left the building a la LJ in 2022.

    Playing Fullarton (at least in the short term) also frees up Roo from his chop out role for Max, allowing him to focus solely on his forward craft in order to get the best out of himself as a KF for the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

    I mean, that’s progress but the cost of the clean up alone…

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
