Operation get Mason Wood

 

Petty and mcadam can’t be in that forward line next week. Petty averaging 6 disposals and has kicked one goal in 6 matches. Goodwin is clueless. Ben brown is cooked. Turner ain’t a forward. A complete failure on our coaching and recruiting staff to solve a problem that has been going on for years.

    It’s not looking good, is it?

    We have no Key Forward scoring Power, at all

    We have all been waiting for it to come good, but today showed that it’s just not going to work, on many levels.

     
    So frustrating because last year we could have really screwed Adelaide for Picks and Players,

    Adelaide have some good attacking forwards and they were desperate to get Petty home, he was there playing Golf with his mates, now he will go quietly for nothing….

    I haven’t seen much of today’s game fortunately but he looks so far off match fitness it’s not funny.

    If we trade him this year we won’t get anything near what we were offered on the last day of trade period last year, two first rounders, might as well keep him and turn him into a full back like we know he can be 

    Yep

    It’s almost all mental.

    Look at Tom McDonald forward in the second half. Jumped at the ball and nearly clunked a few, looked twice the player he was last year.

    Look at Disco in his first game as a forward. Led and jumped at everything.

    First month or so, Petty was tracking completely fine for a guy with no preseason, we get towelled by Brisbane who have him in a mind warp and he hasn’t been the same since (short of a cameo against Geelong).

    This forward line, the coaching, the midfield supply it’s killing careers.

    In fairness, his 2 disposals today was only marginally less than the 6 disposals he’s averaged over the last six weeks. 

    Well that's just it isn't it? This is the new norm for Petty.

    I really don't want to hear about unrewarded leads this week either.

    It’s killing a team of potential and spark.

    You don’t score you don’t appear fun to watch. 

    Too much preservation over 5   years has worn us down and no confidence to attack for fear of failure.

    How good was he realistically going to be today when we had 35 inside 50s, 31 fewer than Fremantle?

    There’s an important discussion to have about Petty but IMO it’s not the priority. The priority is the other two thirds of the ground.

    This seems logical. We need to get back to our brand of contest/defence. Can't expect our forwards to fire when we can't even get it in there.

    Isn't this the reason why we have a forward coach to help petty be a forward? I know he's an easy target but our forward line issues have been happening for a couple of years now. 

    Isn't it Stafford's job to sort this out & function it?

    You also said Jack Billing’s was playing well, Josh schace was having a terrific summer, and that Ben brown would be our main forward target this year 😂

    JVR and Jeffo need to click, help us Jeffo...you're our only hope.

    McAdam needs a rest, Petty go down back and Tmac up forward.

    Can't wait for Milkshake to come back and Jeffo to get up but without our mids none of it matter.

    I do assume you mean he just needs to be dropped because if he needs a physical rest right now then god help us.

    Agree re: the mental side of things. I don’t want to harp on about the loading aspect and tactics etc. but the mental side of things is at least 50% of the ball game - true of pretty much all sports. Anyone who has played to a reasonably competitive level knows that. Yes, the running game and fitness, and tactics are all important and make up the other 50%. You can’t do it without those, but psychology is so important. They just don’t believe this year.

    He’s just not a natural forward.

    It’s that simple. 

    this focus Goodwin had of trying to find defenders and turn them into forwards and they end up doing neither well.  Turner and Petty are lost in those positions.  No idea.  Delivery to them is horrible.  No forward craft by anyone.

    Goodwin new game plan is horrendous.

    The 6 average comes mostly from his time relieving the ruck. 

    He is a shell of a footballer at the moment.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
