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.

    Johnson playing ahead of him says everything about the situation. 

    Not necessarily they are not like for like, AJ is Ruck/Fwd, to provide a chop out for Max. 😁👍

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
