Exceptionally limited preseason.

Selected to play AFL on the back of zero VFL form and lack of preparation.

Head-scratching selection decision.

Will turn it around.  

Bravo.

    His Value just went up stupendously tonight.

    Enormous game by the big fella tonight, just proves how much of a loss he was going into the finals last year.

    I'd love to see the adelaide boards saying we dodged a bullet to we missed out on Carey

    Played a good game tonight. The stats sheet won't tell but he took some clutch contested marks.

    Inching his way back into form.

    I'd say he smashed his way back into supreme form last night.

    Reckon that was the best contested marking performance by a MFC key position player since Neitz.

    We smashed them in contested marking. Those marks are game changers.

    They really slowed down the cats lightening transition at times. They were scary fast at times with their handballs and run and carry but when electing to kick we often had them covered.

    Is everyone ok with him in the team now?

    His potential for 2024 far outweighs anything any other player can provide across half forward.

    We will persist AND we will persist past the next 3 week block of poor form you goldfish ‘endure’…

    Happy Star Trek GIF

    Shades of Max’s ‘breakout’ game against Geelong in 2015.

    Supreme aerial performance.

    Huge lift by Petty. Clunked several marks at pivotal moments in the game and good defensive acts. Laid a great foundation to build confidence off to start kicking more goals. Very happy for Petts.

    Very pleased for him. I've been a critic of late and genuinely hope he makes me look silly next week and for the rest of the season.

    I think he made you and others look a tad silly last night. No need to wait for next week for that to happen. 😉

    People on this site forget Petty has played only 68 games and missed a lot of games thru injury.

    Last night he had a good night because he just went for his marks and was gaining confidence in his foot.

    The fact that is was against a tall strong Cats defence, makes it even more impressive.

    We just need to convince him to stay.

    Harrison Petty stood up to be counted in the game that mattered the most, just like the rest of his team mates. It was a Special Effort.🔥🔥

    That’s an interesting highlight reel for Petty. Floating across the pack for a couple early like a key defender and then some marks while Maxy held ground for him. Even Disco gave him a chop out.

    I’m happy for him but still think he’s better as a defender. In any case, we’d better win a flag this year as he is gone in 2025. No doubt about it. If he could sign on the dotted line today for Adelaide he would.

    Please. Max is the GOAT

    Petty had a great game though. He's nearly back to where we thought he could be A few decisions he would like back but that performance would put fear into oppositions

    @JJJ usually has good mail

    Wonder if Adelaide are still going to come to the party with their first rounder. Their improving but still unlikely for finals you would imagine. Pick between 6 and 12 perhaps on offer?

    Petty is a FA in 2026. If he leaves then, the most we can get is a first round comp which would realistically be 13-19. Plus, if he leaves then, and we want to bring in a free agent ourselves, then that will dilute our compensation.

    If Petty plays the rest of the season like he did last night then his asking price for a trade is very high indeed.

    It'll be an interesting trade season for us. If there's some good FAs available to us and the trade offer for Petty includes multiple first round (and high first-round) picks then we could set ourselves to be competing for a premiership for another 10 years. (eg pick up another 2 star midfielders to replace Clarry and Trac)

    Either way, a performing Petty means MFC is doing well.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
