    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.

    Has Jenkins ever been right about anything in his entire life? I doubt it.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
