Is there just perpetual booing at the ground cause the tv is making it sound like there’s non stop booing. 

 
 

Petty looking up and about but his shots at goal have been deplorable at three...nine this year.

What do you expect he is a back man

people complain about Brown being selected in the 23, and then complain he isn’t starting

Go DL. Always amusing

I may be wrong here but perhaps they’re talking about the principle? Particularly as sub. That is, if you’re good enough for the firsts, you can play a full game. OTOH, someone has to be sub.

I personally don’t really have a strong view on debutantes starting as sub - as long as they get a run in the game.

    Just make tmac a forward already 


    Great decision Tholstrup to pass it off...was a bad look that he had to chase TMac half way down the ground to get a high five in.

    C'mon Tommy, help the second gamer feel welcome!

    you could be right. at the moment whatever decision we make us supporters are bagging the club. A debutant can make an impact off the bench. Woey has done very well off the bench a couple of times. 

    To me it’s a great introduction to AFL football. Kolt would have benefited from this type of intro imo

    OK Petty back Tommy forward. Tom's a good baackman but Petty's a terrible forward.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
