Had a good game last night. Has lost confidence with kicking for goal and with his movement post his injury, but should take a lot out of that game. He moved well and covered some ground up field. Pity he rolled his ankle. The club is curse with foot injuries. 😏

5 contested marks, anyone??

 

 He will find his accuracy soon.

It's a process.

It's clearly a mind thing for Petty.

His confidence seems to be slowly returning and eventually after more strong games of contested marking he will start taking advantage of his opportunities and slot them.

I feel like he may have a couple more very average games but that he's turned the corner.

Hopefully.

Serious momentum killing miss from pets. That was the beginning of the end last night. No excuses really. 
 

I know Langdon’s misses were bad too but in the context of the game, and given pettys one job is to kick goals, he really killed us last night with that miss.

I thought Petty played very well apart from his finishing in front of goal, which he's shown before he can do.  Got up and down the ground providing a target and took many contested marks.  He's Ok at ground level for his role too.  He's getting back to his capability and is definitely a keeper.

Thought he played well last night just a shame he couldn’t convert. He’s an emotional big lad and the goal scoring is between the ears for him. He’s conversion rate was much better last year. Could still be a cracking forward if he can sort his kicking much like Harry McKay has this year. Failing that he will still be a very good defender. 
 

Sign the contact Harry. 🤞

Still think he's the heir apparent to May (lord knows we don't have another...Adams ain't there yet) and we should be maximising the time of May being in the team to let Petty keep learning next to him. 

Yeah - there's not a lot up forward - but now the 'win now' mode theory has more or less been disproven I think we're just wasting time with Pets up forward. 

Put Tmac up forward to finish his days - he's still better at ground level than most of our bigs even on his last legs. 

Turner should be in Tommos spot - learning from Lever but as the clear 3rd/4th tall who can actually move and run off half back (Tommo can't). 

Back: May, Petty, Lever, Turner (tall or small)

Forward: Tmac, JVR, Jefferson (learns with the 3rd best defender), Fritsch (tall or small)

Hate the short termism as our FD continually overrate the list. 'Win now' is gone - time to get serious about having another crack in 3-5

Issue with playing the long game is it inevitably costs those in charge their jobs.

I thought he played better by moving up the ground on leads than staying at stagnant.

Confidence is a problem for him but he’s a very good contested mark which is impossible to teach. Goal kicking can be fixed. 
I hope he stays as he’s clearly a very talented player who can play both ends. Just needs a good injury run for once.

I closely watch all set shots and guess their accuracy. 

In at least one, Pettys eyes were darting all around the stands while nervously spinning the ball, wiggled it from side to side while walking in, certain to miss. He was FREAKING OUT, possibly about social consequences, not calmly focusing on the goal, ball and what he had to do. 

But with the right mindset and focus there's a chance he could turn this around quickly, especially with the appropriate influence of someone he greatly respects.

Happy to get good compensation from Adelaide, not rated as a forward but better back, Trade happily!

Not that it was evident last night but a lot of his misses this year have badly shanked to the right and I wonder if the foot issue has really affected this. Last night was probably more about confidence though.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
