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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
