I think I'm on record here for questioning why Goody trialled Petty up fwd to only abandon the experiment just when he was injured. He was finally showing some really good signs in that game after some fairly lacklustre games. I thought that was sadly the end of it. Petty is a very talented player that Goody clearly wanted to keep as a defender. Yet after running out of options and the wonderful persistence of Tommo, Goody to his credit tried another time. If his five goals , 10 clean marks didn't impress you than his sixth goal around his body must have. You can't play like that and not be able to repeat it. We have found our forward for sure. Combine this with Melksham rediscovering his old skill and passion ( loved how he confidently grabbed the free from the boundary line) Jvr getting better each game, Kozzie and Chandler returning to form and Fritta waiting in the wings and we have a fwd line that can kick 100 points plus. Also with Oliver coming back in, Trac may be able to contribute more in terms of goal scoring. Yesterday was a forward line that kicked 85% of our goals. We simply don't need Grundy there. Or Max. Which is good because Max was the reason in the last quarter we did so well. After a horrid first half, the bloke was a different person. His contested possessions made us look like we had another midfielder out there. He drove the ball forward from punching, kicking, handballing and pushing. His sheer will and strength saw him contribute to many of the last ten goals scored by us. I know this thread is about or forward line but that was one of the best performances I've ever seen from a ruckman. This is not a dig on Grundy in anyway but when you have someone who can play like Max did, then you want him playing as much as possible. And back on track, Jvrs leap is getting higher every game. He's also very athletic for his size and I think makes the perfect chf. Finally, the accuracy of all our forwards is excellent.

A little more excitement for Petty would not be wrong. Tx again Jb.

Or hopefully get back in form and keep everyone on their toes.

His leap defies physics too.

Gee, justed watched some of Petty's goals. Basically he did an old fashioned Riewoldt. I know it's only one big game as a forward but gee it's enough to get very excited about not to forget about Jvr and Melksham. I think that was our second highest score for the year. But to have so many kicked by our feds when they have struggled is like an eight point win. Maybe we have finally found the right combo and what a time to discover it. Can't see poor Grundy getting back in other than relief for Max . And the accuracy was the best.

I thought the umps were really poor in the first three quarters but finally decided to reward some tackles in the last and yea, didn't they hate it.

Max just switching into overdrive for me.

Max's clearance work was sublime.

Is Fritta the last to kick six for us two years ago? Certainly has happened this year.

Change it at your peril.

Credit to goody. Even though Tommo had a tough one, he was rewarded this weekend. And thanks for trialling Petty once more.

Who was the Turkey yesterday that asked if Petty had proven himself fwd? Does today help.

Got a forward line. Petty six. Jvr and Milk four. Kozzie two. Chandler one Over 100 points.

Good post Uncle. Credit to Richmond who swang all day. Props to Petty. Maybe the fwd line is fixed. But Max was on another level after half time. Vintage Gawn. Can't be stopped. That win is a strong message to the other clubs.

Petty and the Tiger breakers.

Comprehensive win.

Tough bw him and Petty but Max has it. He started out slow too but barnstormed home.

Woo hoo Premiership style win. Great stuff. Never say die.

Ouch.

Max is killing it. Been the difference.

Petty party.

Melksham, Petty and Jvr. A flag winning combo perhaps. Max is back.

Umps are killing the Tigers. So nice.

Why was Jvr on the bench before fgs

Soft soft soft.
