As for others re the new binary that’s nothing to do with we or they as part of a group. You obviously are part of a group if you call yourselves a THEY it a Dees supporter is a WE. It doesn’t matter about sub groups. MFC has differing sub groups ie Board Coterie Football Dept Members fans but we are all supporters. The team is not a they like we are not a they as we belong to the MFC all of us. I am not a lawyer nor a wordsmith just a proud Demon supporter of 66 years that is part of our club and involved so a WE fits perfectly. But if you don’t like my opinion and prefer to be a THEY so be it. BTW We are all Australians who are nationalised THEY are NOT who ain’t. Pretty simple isn’t it You either belong or you don’t. Try to think about it Am I a Demon supporter ? YES then I am a WE That’s the bonding not whether I am. Cotorie Army or member or fan. The THEY are other teams club members or AFL staff or filth trajics. NOT the Melb team who might miss a certain player if he is injured. OUR team will miss him. WE will miss him. Some of you will get it but others will be stubborn and try an alternative view that does not fit the we or they terminology or category. 1 Quote

leave it to deever 17,618 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 I'm backing Petts for a big one against the tigers. 2 Quote
The end is nigh 447 Posted April 22, 2024 Posted April 22, 2024 Hoping for a solid supporting effort from petty, JVR to kick his highest tally yet and petty to chip in with a couple. Some good blocks and forward line cohesion would be great 2 Quote
picket fence 18,184 Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 Either plays back and a direct swap for T. Mac going forward or back to Casey Woeful last night! 4 Quote

That looks the way to go, swap with T Mac. He is either still injured, horribly out of form, or simply not a natural key forward, despite some good efforts there. Petty has played his best footy down back and Tom certainly has forward craft. Quote

whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 chaplin in the pre-game interview was clear - he's a forward they love his ability to get to contests and at a minimum get the ball to ground i don't think he's at risk of being dropped, and as long as he's not injured he'll remain in our starting 22 5 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 I've listened to Jenkins a few times on SEN. Loves to make controversial comments. I think he's a Kane Cornes wannabe but doesn't possess Cornes understanding of the game. wouldn't pay too much attention to him. 4 Quote

We have less depth than last year and against the Cats and Blues over the next fortnight and other contenders later in the year we can’t carry players. Couldn’t care less about teams like the Tigers. The window for us is closing so we need to make every post a winner. Quote

adonski 13,267 Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 He's coming off a 6 month injury, I think judgement needs to be held until the mid way point of the season 13 Quote

He is either still injured, horribly out of form, or simply not a natural key forward, despite some good efforts there. Petty has played his best footy down back and Tom certainly has forward craft. Tom still can’t change directions or get off the ground. The moment you throw him forward he’ll turn back in to a witches hat. A few errant kicks aside he’s playing well down back. Why move a player in form who hasn’t been good forward since early 2021? Petty: Hawthorn: 9 marks, straightened us up Port: played a role forward in the second half Adel: 1.3 He looked every bit a forward until whatever happens when he plays Brisbane. And whatever happened to the rest of the side too. Even last night, took 3 marks, dropped at least 3 more simple ones. Confidence isn’t great but otherwise putting in the effort, his pressure and chasing makes a big difference and allows us to get the zone right. Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and back him in. I see nothing but a player who’s lost some touch and confidence. By the way, they same issues are hampering him when he’s been down back the last 2 years. A but of continuity, sports psychology and some better ball use and he’ll be back marking everything at CHF 10 Quote

darkhorse72 1,943 Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 Looks well out of touch fort he game at the moment. I think we brought him in too early. More games at Casey to get his mojo back. Quote
