Petty ahead of Brown and Jefferson? Every day of the week.

Everyday...  EVERYDAY ?? 

Tbh honest atm Petty is all over the shop..  brilliant one game....did he even turn up....turned it up on other occasions.   Personally,  and cue the wolves/ jackals/ meerkats.... I think overall he's quite 'average'.   Some will roll out excuses but you wander over that white line you've called yourself as good to go...  and often he isn't.   I get we're bereft of that real KPF..   Roo is good...but he's young....in 3 to 4 ...could be really something.    He Roo  does offer  a chop out to Max... so hes not the real KPF... Goody seems compelled /stuck with Petty.   

Id give Jeffo a crack...   i dont see him as any worse... and might surprise  ( might not )

If Petty...its by reluctant default....and yeah....thats why you pick players eh

Go Dees

    Freo have gotten the better of us the last two times, but I'd like to know why, aside from Freo being up and about for an MCG challenge,

    In 2022 May went off with concussion at quarter time which threw our structure out the door as Rory Lobb of all people got the better of us.

    In 2023 we went small and and forced Lever to play tall against the likes of Amiss, Tracey and Jackson and it backfired as per usual when we've gone in with a small defence.

    Other than that, can anyone think what they've had over us from a tactical point of view.

    Not tactics - just the ‘L’ word - or intensity of training volume and density. 👊🥩💥

    Great interview, Goodie looks very relaxed which is pleasing. I'm very happy he's our coach!

    That first one in 22 was a really out of character Freo performance where they came out in the second half and kept the ball moving like free flowing water. They got some good fortune with it and with May out the damage was tenfold. 

    Not expecting this to happen for sure but the message from me would be don't be slow to react if it does.

    Felt some minor discomfort in his adductor at training today according to Richo. They expect JvR to be available next week.

    May and Petty were both out in that game. We were very unlucky that night.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
