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.

    • 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?
