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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
