Re Harrison staying or going, what do we make of the last part of Jacob's last response in this?...

What I got from that is that Jacob is a great kid. He's got the right attitude and the raw talent that, with time and development, will see him become one of the best KPF's in the game.

It's great that he'd love to play with Petty, but I have a feeling he will make it work with whoever he partners up forward in the years ahead.

    I'm not sure how much we can actually take from it , but I certainly loved hearing it.
    It tells me that JVR certainly has the right attitude, and that can only be beneficial in respect to any influence any teammates MAY have on his eventual decision.

    An odd feature for a player who is supposedly leaving the club 🤷‍♀️

    If Dannyz thinks he's out the door then our club will be planning accordingly for his exit.

    I’ll start by saying that I hope Petty stays with us. However, the reality is that he has not been successful as a forward. In the 16 games he’s played since his bag of 6 a year ago he’s booted a total of 5 goals ie an average of one goal every three games. 
    Yes, he has been subbed off in two games and has played in defence at least once, 
    His best game this year was against the Hawks where he played in defence.

    We need another tall forward to support JvR. BBB is not performing and IMO is unlikely to last the season. 
    I’d try Disco or Fullerton forward. Not sure whose place Petty takes if he goes back. 

    His versatility would make him a good sub. Just sayin’

     

    I'm really surprised by those stats. I didn't think he'd played fwd that much. There not flattering performances.

    My mistake. Petty played primarily in the backline following the ANZAC game last year.

    I thought something was nqr with those.

    I think he'll be alright as a fwd. He's certainly showing signs of not having a good pre season.

    Hell come good. Pretty sure you don't fluke bags of six . He's got the talent to play fwd and back.

    Well he has a great record with his info, so I will prepare myself for a Petty departure at seasons’ end.

    Given BBB will probably retire, Smith is probably gone too and Jeffo isn’t up to it atm, we will have a desperate need for a couple of experienced key forwards.

    A player like Lukosius who is rumoured to be available and a bigger bodied experienced key forward, would have to be targets for us.

    I wanted Treacy included in the LJ deal, but it didn’t happen.

    I think Turner could be a chance to play forward in the future, if we are desperate.

    Verall is another who could play forward, as he has good hands.

    I wonder if Fullarton could also be trained up to play a more permanent forward role. A bit more muscle could help him.

    I am sure if we know Petty is leaving, we will be preparing for it. It will be an interesting watch.

    It was round 20 when he kicked 6. Was subbed out of the following game with two to his name. He has been returning from a tricky injury since.

    It's a very impressive feature from the club. That's the sort of content many of us have been crying out for.

    Great access, really good coverage from a filmmaking perspective. Be great to get these sort of features regularly. Not once a season type thing.

    The Clare Pettyfor appointment already stamping its influence.

    When was she employed? Because it's clear they started filming it last year.

    Could be why Turner now playing forward?

    I love this type of close up expose of Harrison being wheeled into the operating theatre, the footage of the Specialist, the administering the anaesthetic, then the long recovery period, etc, like previously mentioned I crave this kind of behind the scenes documentary. Top shelf MFC, Harrison, fitness and coaching staff.💕

    On the last day of trade Adelaide offered two first rounders, 11 and 15 

    Which would've ended up 16 and 21 due to compo and bid matching

    He said, in his opinion, he was out the door as opposed to being intel in this instance*

    I thought it was pretty clear to anyone who read his post that he was giving an opinion. He wrote IMO. He didn't say that he had knowledge that he was out the door and I didn't suggest that he did.

    Agreed

    What's the fuss

    1goal per 3 games isn't going to matter much as well as injury prone

    We be lucky to get a second round for him at the moment

    Let the play play and maybe Adelaide will make a stupid offer you can only hope

    Can that dodgy earlier stat be cleared up somehow? By total average, Harry has in fact kicked a goal every three games across his entire career.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
