Thanks Jnm. I would love to see him playing more games like he did against Geelong. Recovery from injury would certainly account for some low games. I guess he in an ideal world he should be coming back via the twos where he could be managed better and perhaps have less risk of further injury. I do feel that his lack of goal scoring and marks inside fifty seem to almost have is a player down but perhaps we have no choice. That's where this topic comes from though. Given his present form, I don't really feel we have much to lose trialling someone else. Even May when Lever gets back. I really want to keep Tmac down back because as we saw yesterday he played very well . But the same applies to poor Tommo. I'm not sure if I've seen him play since after he played a blinder last year and was dropped. The bloke comes in 12 months later and was one of our best. I don't want to see him languishing at Casey anymore. I know that's footy but are there any permutations that you could think of to see him playing and our fwd line revamped by someone? We now have five very good tall defenders. Acknowledgement of Tmac not changing, is there anything that can be done?

Petty has played nine games this year. He really has only impacted one game and that was against Geelong. His marking prowess in that game was fantastic. He was that connection at chf we desperately need. Alas it has not been seen in other games. It may not sound like it but I'm a big Petty afficiando. But he's either injured or just not really a fwd. Hard to ascertain if his cats performance was a one off. Nine games is a fair chunk of a season. If he continues taking a couple of marks and kicking one goal every four games , then I think Goody's hand will be forced to play him down back. But who goes out? Not Tmac. Not Lever. Not May. And now Tommo has put his hand up saying, I'm a good defender as well. So, it will be interesting to see where he fits in. I don't want to trade him. Unless it's a great deal. Unlike the others mentioned Petts is much younger. But I'm fairly convinced at this point that he's much much better playing in our backline. Ive floated the Tommo fwd idea as he's too good for Casey and a big strong player with a big body . And he comes in after a year of being unceremoniously dropped and kills ot. Tommo is a big player. Something we have been lacking. We used to have Tmac and Hogan but now we have Petty and Roo. Both aren't big bodies yet. Roo will fill out and I believe will have a big future as a fwd at our club. I love his persistence and pressure acts. Petty is very athletic but not really a brute. We have agility in Jvr and Fritta but I'd love a big body fwd who defenders would struggle to move out the way. Maybe it's not Tommo but how do you know without trying. I mean if Goody can continue with Petts for so long with a return of only two goals , I feel like there's not really much to lose. Just saying.

Tbh I'd prefer he ( Tmac) stay put. He's been very good in his old role. But we need some more scoring power. I know we kicked 100 again but it was just St Kilda.

Fair call. More than happy to see him continue down back but from past experience I feel he will be eventually squeezed out again for Lever. He's a quality player who gives his all when required. Im just thinking since Petty isn't really dominating up fwd than this could be a future possibility. I'd be happy to trial Tmac up fwd again or anyone. With two goals from nine games now, it's becoming clear that Petty is not a fwd and bbb is cooked.

Beg to differ. It puts us not just back in the eight but top four again. Had we lost it would be a disaster. Scrappy at times but if we had not conceded junk time goals in the end it would have been a drubbing.

Jimmy Stynes would go close as would Jeff White. We have been lucky. But Max is one of the all time greats of the game.

Love Petty too but two goals from nine games is just simply not enough. It's playing with one tall short so to speak.

Well done Jb.

Tmac was moving like his old self again today. I would love to see him fwd again so that works for me. But I feel Tommo could not do any worse than Petty. Much so. A case of Not losing anything trying.

Petty is struggling there. Tmac is dominating down back. Does anyone think it's worth a shot maybe when Lever is back or Petty moved back? Tommo is a strong mark in a pack. What we could use perhaps.

Makes sense. I thought he was younger. Tx. Good to see all the dads with the little ones.

How old is Max jnr? He looks pretty big already.

Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

Don't drop Tommo. Thanks Max. Anb back to his best. We missed Langers. Great response from the club.

Shame we didn't kick the last few but we will all take today's win and hope.

Eventually hell become a key player. Fought back hard today. Accurate set shot and never stops trying. A glimmer of hope in our fwd line.

Let's not talk about it Good win today.

Umps been good today. Haven't noticed them.

Just new Maysie would kick that. Special.

Tracca deserves praise but he is a late starter . Wish he could spend more time fwd. Max is a game changer as always. Rivers has been good today as well.

100 points plus please

I'd give it to Nibbler then Max.

Well at least we turned up this quarter

Jvr certainly tries hard.

Ripper quarter from Kozzie.
