No doubt, but he's not a ruckman. If I went back through the pregame thread would I find you commenting that it was ok to play Petty in the ruck?

You are absolutely missing the point of my discussion.. have another go.

The issue is not starting Petty in the ruck, its the fact he hasn't given a yelp at all when in there. Some od his efforts were ridiculously soft.

Lovely Melksham and Windsor. Beautiful to watch.

    Turner gets pushed into a dangerous contests = no free. Essendon player gets pushed by McVee = Free Kick Essendon!

    Why wasn’t Kozzy’s tackle rewarded??? Exact same prior op and lack of disposal. Rules for them and rules for us. Maggot [censored]

    Umps won't pay our tackles.

    I'd say it's inconsistency but the umps are quite reliable.

    You're missing the point. He is not a ruckman. He's doing his best against a top 4 team ruckman.

    He isn't going to measure up, in the ruck. Give him a break. You didn't mind the idea pre game. Stick fat


    Can the commentators be any more biased towards Essendon? My ears hurt.

    disco got a a non free there...

    The contact below the knee rule is there to prevent players (Draper) diving at the ball. Yes looks soft and not how the game used to be. But the rule was adjudicated correctly. 
     

    Draper should’ve kept his feet.

    I thought it a player dived for the ball and took out a players legs it was a free kick?

    Pretty frustrating when one of them is Nathan Jones. 🤬

    • 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.
