Windsor for mine, he has some real Robbie Flower about him.

Pace, skill and for a first year player, a real calmness about how he handles pressure and traffic.

Yes we need talls, and yes May is great but starting to slow down a little and we need Petty to replace him.

However, even if he went back into defence, I'm not confident about his confidence and fitness yet.

The game is getting faster, we need more fast outside players along with some talls.

Windsor is going to be an absolute gun and it's best we wrap him up now.

A stellar debut season.

    And just for context, it took Tmac 2 entire seasons to find the form he’s currently in post a Lisfranc injury. Every man and his dog wanted him paid out and delisted. Now everyone hopes he stays on. 
     

    I think this is interesting, We know TMac has an extraordinary tenacity with his training and fitness, Not sure how Petty measures up in that regard but I'd dare say its not as fanatical as TMac

    I have no idea, but Tmac is also significantly older than Petty, so you'd think Petty would bounce back quicker than Tmac.

    He's had plenty of injury setbacks before and managed to get back. The reality is that Lisfranc is up there with the worst injury you can do in AFL. We know how tricky any foot injury can be, especially a Lisfranc and especially for a big man who needs power in their feet to launch at packs. 

    We've seen small glimpses from Petty this year, and we know he can take a mark, that is not really in question. Like Clarry I think he needs a really good injury free pre-season. He is only 24, so he's a good 2-3 years away from his peak anyway.

    As I've said all along, at 'worse' he is a great replacement for May, at best he's a gun CHF. We literally cannot lose.

    JVR, MCVee and Windsor are the must keep at all costs

    It's funny how this shifts though, isn't it?

    I would have said that about Clarry 12 months ago too, but now that's all up in the air.

    And it's not black and white. I know @Engorged Onion was being facetious with the OP, but both are great re-signings.

    @Binmans PA Ahhhh, I just wanted to open up a meaningful conversation on it, rather than the slagging off of Petty that occurs in some other threads…

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
