No other comment needed, BBB Cooked, Petty, pathetic forward! Premiership window closed, play him for rest of the year, lets see what he's got!

    Haha good god no, the kid would be crushed, physically but mostly mentally. 

    He seems to be slowly turning the corner a little at Casey, that’s where he needs to stay.

    That  selection would be surely the definition of desperation .He has shown absolutely nothing to date and doesn't even deserve consideration .

    Have u watched his last 3 weeks??

    i'd rather try tomlinson at full forward. at least he can take a mark

    it's desperate times so why not

    Lack of effort and competitiveness forward of the ball is our issue, he addresses neither

    Would be feeding him to the Wolves if we played him now, plus JVR and Fullarton can come into the side.

    If we out of contention with 5 Rounds to go, then I would give him a go.

    Yes I have watched him closely .He played a reasonable first quarter yesterday and that was it .Not even taking  a grab which was his one strong area .Maybe he will develop but I'm not in the least bit confident .What I am confident of is that he is not remotely at present up tp AFL standard .

    No.

    He plays one good quarter every game. Sometimes it's not even a quarter, more so 15-20 minutes maybe.

    Give Fullerton a go first. He may not be a world beater, but he is athletic and will give a contest. Jeffo ain’t there yet.

    I have, and he is showing some promising signs, so why ruin that by throwing him to the wolves before he's ready?

    I'd consider giving Sestan a run in the seniors before Jefferson. Has made some good strides this year.

    He is developing well, gets to all the right places and presents in the air well. But he is another season away from being AFL ready and will be less effective than Petty or BBB.

    Is this the prompt to call him Juice Jefferson, after your previous full forward love child?

    There are forward issues but it’s the midfield performance that’s killing us. We are missing Gus big time. Oliver is a shadow of his former self, we are a 30 plus possession midfielder short.

    What has our list managers done that's left us in a situation where we our best key forward is 187cm.

    JVR has shown some promise but he is as fustrating as Petty at times. 

    Petty was a premiership defender and we throw him forward because we can't trade/draft any one [censored] decent.

    He's just starting to find his feet at Casey Picket.

    Showed some very positive signs early on Sat but then dropped away again.

    Fullarton should've played ahead of Brown to see what he can offer and as a chop out for Max (not Petty!).

    Petty's efforts / energy would have been better served playing more time forward and as an outlet mark / interceptor down the lline tonight.

    Agree but again he is presently struggling to play out 4 quarters at a high level for Casey.

    He also seems to lack the white line manic attack at the ball to take the next step.  Might find it as the year goes on but will need to imv if he's to get the call up.

    Always looks better playing inside 50.  Pretty good by foot as well.  Is he a possibility to replace Billings?  Kicked four goals yesterday but very quiet after half time.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
