Definitely not this year.

He hates doing media, always has. Don't look too much into it.

It's a huge blow for us. But, in this circumstance we just simply have to move on and focus in on the group we have available. Huge positive is that we'll have a handy full forward exploding into 2024 season. Get well Petts

I've never been to Perth mate, I only get the snap chat updates ha.

My brother is near Cotts and ventures down to Scarborough a fair bit. Probably explains why he's loving it??

Perth Demons under Germo mate. Been a real struggle this season unfortunately.

You know what young punks are like these days... 😅

My younger brother (21 yrs of age) is over there playing WAFL footy and living a bachelor life with his best mate from the bush. He absolutely loves it and reckons its the best move he's made. Reckons the weather is unreal and some great night spots.

Jesus christ... 🤦‍♂️

Looks like showers on Saturday night.

A serious hard no.

It's not just the media, it's a well known fact that he's not a forward. His last performance as a forward at VFL was very sub par against a suburban level defence in Williamstown. He'll probably play against Carlton because he's literally the last option we have available.

5 weeks is a great outcome imo! So we're definitely confirmed as Grundy as the replacement? Thanks for the info btw

Correct!

Petty's stretch and one touch grab is insane isn't it. Very impressive indeed. This is a big call but on the small glimpse I've seen and with a full summer training with the forward I cannot see why he can't kick 40 plus goals next year.

Think there was a hint of sarcasm in @monoccular post.

We'd be looking at preliminary final return if that's the case.

Yeah that's about season done unfortunately.

Even with a mid foot sprain it's still 4-6 weeks

An interesting take on this.

Oh yeah.. I forget you've probably never heard of this term in your life due to age factor hey old timer. Best you look it up then.

If we're relying on Tmac come finals off the back of another foot surgery lay-off then you genuinely know we're completely bare to the bone with key forwards. He simply should not be in contention. His body is completely shot as is his ankles. Can barely turn and when the ball hits the ground he's very similar to Ben Brown where their defensive efforts are non existent.

Bit like when he was shutting down everyone late last year who dared to question Jackson potentially going home. Nek minute.....

I think I'm done trying to experiment with Brown or Grundy as forward options. We know what we're going to get with them. Grundy on form alone in the VFL does not deserve a recall. His last VFL game playing mainly as a forward he was unsighted all game until they had to throw him in the ruck in the last quarter against Williamstown. Has zero awareness as a forward and his leading patterns was non existent. A hard pass. Even hearing Goodwin at today's press conference today he didn't sound all that convincing that Grundy would be the replacement. It may seem they could turn to Schache who is known to pinch hit in the ruck.

Yeah he was super that game.
