Who replaces Petty that seriously makes us better?

My answer is no one so he needs to stay where he is.

Then he needs to go down back and Turner needs to stay up fwd.

Bring Jeffo in and lets have a good look at him.

    How are we going to cover the end of May and TMac careers?

    I think he can still be a May replacement down back. With Disco and hopefully an in form Lever.

    Disco and van Rooyen.

    The sad thing is that Petty has been our best key forward this year. Trained all pre season as a defender and probably wants to play back there.

    Turner, JVR, Jefferson, Fritch have all Under performed more than Petty as a forward this year.

    I think we need to make the switch, send him to defence and he only goes forward as a switch. But he should be a defender first always. Disco on the other hand I think should be forward first and defender second.

    On what metrics? I find it phenomenal that you can say Petty has been our best key forward this year - even acknowledging that in the current crop that threshold would be relatively low.

    Petty is soft, he has no presence as a forward.

    He is getting games in the forward line based on kicking 4 goals against Richmond 3 years ago.

    Done nothing since.

    I never want to see him up forward again and the only thing that saves him is he is ok down back, so leave him back and make Turner a permanent forward FFS

    Petty loves a ‘pre’ goal celebration.

    Takes a mark, happy with himself, high fives teammates, then misses a sitter.

    Just kick the goal, then celebrate Harrison.

    For reference, Brian Taylor is his heyday, very funny.

    Except the 4 he kicked against Freo in round 6

    Petty has flashes but he's still a natural defender.

    Disco is playing well down back but he also looked really good up forward. I think we need to bite the bullet and send Petty back, Disco forward with JVR.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
