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’…

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
