He wasn’t mentioned by any of the Trackwatchers in their observations of training or as being absent. 

Didn't the track watchers state that TMAC left the training field early with those that were to play at Casey? If that's the case, then it sounds like Petty might be ill or injured, with TMAC taking his place in the squad. 

Edit: Sorry, didn't see BC_1718_DC's comment above.

    Petty did the captains run yesterday so not sure what's going on there.

    TMac definitely played at Casey today, he played a mixture of back and forward.

    It must have been a very late decision to take Petty out and let TMac continue to play today.

    It doesn't make sense for TMac to now fly 4+ hours and play again tomorrow then fly straight out again after the game.   After all it is only a practice game and there are more than enough players on the bench.  Let Tommy recover properly.

    Idle thought - could the names listed be an error in communication ... 🤔

    Of the other emergencies for tomorrow (Laurie, Jefferson, Campbell, Brown) which played today?

    Again, it doesn't make sense to fly any of them to Perth for a prac match especially if they played a full game today.

    Fritta is in Mandurah totally unaware that right now I’m going hammer and tongs with an extremely obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth Collingwood supporter… his grandpa. This old man’s goin’ down and it won’t be pretty. If I’m not tomorrow’s news headline it’ll be a miracle. 😂 I mean, his grandson kicked six goals in a granny and he’s hanging 💩 on the Dees like there’s no tomoz.

    Petty must have become aware of his hamstrings. 

    Or parachuted into Adelaide for a round of golf.

    I reminded people that TMac was our 10th best player last year and told youse all his strength and experience would be needed v the big Haze forwards.

    I'm not surprised that AJ has been named. Hopefully JvR will spend 100% tog forward.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
