    Watched him closely last night. Jogging around with no real urgency giving away defensive mark after mark. That's not what we need right now and while I'll continue to back him am improvement needs to be quite sharpish

    Sheesh his kicking for goal was cr#p last night and this year

    maybe his injury is an excuse but it’s too hard to get forward entries not to convert 

    what kind of money is he on?

    if he is going his trade value is plummeting

    I've had enough of the Petty forward experiment.

    He is an outstanding tall defender and should be leading our next generation of tall defenders in the May/Lever succession plan.

    He's done some good things and had a couple of good games up forward, but is more likely to have nil impact than good impact when forward. Against Richmond he had more clangers than disposals.

    I've still got my fingers crossed for Fullarton but we really need to find a big competitive body with a 'nothing to lose' attitude in the mid-season draft.

    Jenkins, for someone who got thrown to the wolves by the very Club he wants him desperately to play for, its a bit rich

    Since I can't bear to watch any live Melbourne Games - for example, I gave up before 10 minutes of the Grand Final they won after Bulldoggers kicked a goal - I'm watching the replay. It's Quarter Time. Every kick to Petty bar one has been either a grubber of a kick to his opponent. UM, if I was a forward with delivery like that, I'd prefer to play golf - which I'm hopeless at. Then again, my dad told me once, Don't worry about hitting the ball into the scrub - you find a lot of golf balls there.

    Petty needs to play down back. He is a liability up forward, and doesn’t offer anything for us. 

    He needs to be lead to the ball, as he is not proactive in leading or good at reading the play.

    He’s a natural defender

    He's more your stay at home, contest and mark guy.

    If he's not marking them though you aren't left with much

    He is in terrible form. Maybe he knows he is going at the end of the season which reflects the way he is playing just like what happened when Jackson left for Freo.

    He is coming into the team on no pre-season and obviously important to the FD. He just isn’t going to be dropped without some reason related to his fitness base or ridiculous form of a tal at Casey.

    People should just get used to it.

    One thing I'm not going to get used is the constant shanking of set shots to the right almost missing everything when last year he kicked through the ball beautifully.

    Needs to shave his head. Can't have confidence with a hairline like that.

    Only half joking...

    For what its worth I've always been a big Petty fan, he'll come good soon enough.

    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.

    And he clearly has a bone to pick with MFC - never heard him say anything positive since he has been in radio.

    Capable, AFL standard, key position players don't get dropped to the VFL when the ly are coming back from injury and are yet to find form unless there are seriously better options firing at VFL level.

    There aren't. He'll stay at AFL level until he finds form and fitness.

    Interesting observations and I did notice this when watching again. 

    I would like to see him influence contest a bit more without the ball though.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
