Yea I think we've all been a bit short sighted and overly optimistic re Petty's return. Good call Roost it a long ways.
Goody openly said he’ll be back for the Hawks so forgive anyone for taking what he says at face value. Maybe they shouldn’t after Clarry last year 😂

MONIZZZXX another great goal running through the centre
Surely he’s chomping at Chandlers heels if he is down again tomorrow? Has to be!

Bit like Max, TMac, B Brown and Jackson
Think Jackson was that special sort of athlete though. Not saying you’re comparing him and Fullarton but Jackson could do more than just ruck and go forward. Not sure TF has that in him to make himself an ‘extra’ player around stoppage.
Jackson was very very unique in that respect.

Thanks Mr fence.
Interesting considering Goodwin thinks he'll play next week.
Fullarton for me has to play 1s.
If we are going to be any good this year Fullarton has to play and play well.
Cant see Fullarton and Petty playing in the same side unless Roo isnt there.
Having Max, Fullarton, Petty and Roo is bloody huge. Almost what we did with Grundy last year.

I can see why Thommo is out of favour, has made some critical errors which should have resulted in goals. Shache out the back for a goal. MONIZ Wakey doing well as is a busy Brown dog,Petty has barely touched it. FULLARTON Good. Laurie goodish
Interesting to see if Big Ben goes well tomorrow if they give another week to Petty in the 2’s.

Thanks guys for updates..". Is KOL playing, please respond
If Kol is Koltyn Tholstrup no he isn’t. He’s the carry over emergency for tomorrow.

It was strange Kev, won’t say he couldn’t move he just didn’t move at all really. Maybe he had a good main session and this was just a chill session for him.
Big Ben would’ve done minimal to keep the load off his legs so there’s no inflammation before tomorrow’s match. Those knees are just holding together😂

TMac definitely with the backs.
Max also doing plenty of work with the backs.
Salem with the mids.
Howes and Rivers did some stoppage work high on the wings.
Chandler was kicking well at goals.
McQualter taking most of the structural sims.
Goody taking the stoppages.
Looks like they are looking for quick plays down the corridors, by hitting the inside players, short, middle or wide.
Hore looked nervous at the start of the drills.
Woey seems to have slimmed down since the start of the preseason, moving well.
Hey Kev, was Kozzy with the mids or forwards? Appreciate the updates mate🤝

Lot of love for Fullarton
Beauty is by comparison but I do wonder how he will fare at AFL level
19 games in five years for Brisbane (12 were in 2021)
Good luck to the guy.
How was he at Brisbane VFL level?
Kicked 30.22 at VFL level last year in 18 games.

Jefferson has talent, but little aggression or intensity. The bad news is that's the hardest trait to instill into a player. Further bad news is that it's the most important trait for a key forward.
Defence is a far easier position for someone with his DNA.
I'm dubious that he'll ever make an AFL key forward.
I know those with red and blue goggles have conniptions about such views.
Dubious after one season? Very interesting take😂

i watched most games at casey when at home, and imo i dont think jeffo has it. hes quite lazy at 2nd efforts. this could come with maturity, but this is a make or break year for me. if he cant get in front of josh schache, then you have serious issues.
A second year 19 year old key forwards make or break year is their second season in the AFL? What a load of rubbish😂

Roo was skinny when he got here too.
BB and tmac were injured last year and smith was in our seniors at times.
and yp i think 23 goals is average for a season that we made finals too
Roo came into the club at 88 kgs. He’s now about 96-97.
Jefferson came into Melbourne at 76kgs and now sits at 86-87.
evidently you don’t watch Casey, so making comments on what’s good and or average seems irrelevant in your argument.
go back and watch Casey last season and you see how that ball is delivered and the players around Jefferson consistently taking up space.

23 goals really is pretty average. its not amazing.
he needs to bulk up considerably
Average? Are you joking? Look at the forward line he was trying to get a kick in at Casey? Smith, BB, Tmac, Schache.
the kid barely had a chance. If you think delivery into the forward line is bad in the senior side, try watching Casey.
Of course he needs to bulk up, he’s a kid. Not everyone is like Roo.- 5

I felt sorry for Jefferson at numerous points last year because that forward line he was trying to get a kick in was land of the giants and even with injuries this year, it’s still massive.
He battled along side Tmac, BB, Joel Smith, Schache at numerous points last year and still kicked 20 odd goals.
This year he’s still battling BB, Schache will be back there, Fullarton potentially + Verrall and Kyah Farris-White. Unfortunately I think this year will be another of development for Jeffo but the fact Melbourne extended his contract very quickly to the end of 26’ shows what the club know they have in my opinion. Next year, a lot of those older fringe talls will be gone, and Jeffo will be able to have some space to get to work.
Big forwards take time. JVR was the anomaly of that in his second season last year, not normality.

Needs to find a Melbourne lassy to settle him down.
Already has a long term partner. Believe she is from SA though, like Petty’s…😂

Just not sure about having 3 debutants in a first round team - seems like a lot of inexperienced players at once
We’ve done that before. Nothing out of the ordinary imo.

No backhand. Andy’s interviews are brilliant. As are the track reports.

Just to be clear. I have never asked for that nor do I necessarily want that. I have a full time job. That being said I have alot of ideas and advice that I would happily give. I would love to have the access that the club has to their own talent. I'm not saying I could do a better job but I have a lot of ideas about what the club could do better with their own resources. When I say I would do things for free it is more to just emphasize my love for the club and wanting them to be the best in all aspects. I already support them financially in the form of many premium memberships as well as the 2 player sponsorships not to mention merchandise etc. I'm also happy to give my time and knowledge to help improve certain aspects that I believe the club is lacking in.
It’s okay to be modest Andy but you would absolutely do better and be far better than what gets provided from the current social media team 😂

Does that mean Jefferson and Tholstrup are out of the main game?
The club do like some young guys to have the experience of a match day. Wouldn’t surprise me if Kolt/Jeffo get pulled at 3QT and then warm up and do the ‘match day experience’ with the main team tonight but don’t actually play

So Tomlinson gets 3rd tall spot in defense. Surprised about Howes going on Richmond practice. Hope he goes ok.
Why are you surprised? These young guys will never improve if they only get once chance and then get dropped straight away if they don’t perform.

Bit late with the revisionist history about trading him. If his wish is to leave at the end of 24’ or 25’ we just need to hope he can get on the park and show something otherwise no club will be stupid enough to chuck money at him or draft capital with the ‘fragile’ body he is beginning show that he has.

From the video footage I have seen, forward handballs seem to be a big part of our game for this year?

Clare Pettyfor Appointed Chief Communications Officer
in Melbourne Demons
Posted
Massive get for the club to get Clare back. Awesome from Gary Pert. A revamped social media team and communications on the way. Hopefully some of the good stuff we saw in 2021 is coming back. Stoked 👏🏼👏🏼
I guess Perty does listen to feedback! 😆
