    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: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
