Roost it far

Those thinking that Petty will be dropped are way out of touch with reality

Just watched the replay.....that was tough. There was a moment where Petty had the ball in the second quarter. He'd barely had a possession and he was gassed. His face was bright red and he was sucking in the air. He's working hard, he's had no pre season and very little footy last year. His time off legs would set back anyone. He'll stay in the one's, he'll start clunking a few and eventually he'll hit the scoreboard. If an opposition's best defender is on him he also knows how to defend. He'll become an asset. He'll also get us some tasty draft picks when he heads to Adelaide.

Are we taking Jenkins advice? There’s morons and there’s guys like Jenkins. His inability to understand a game he played is extraordinary. When Salem and Bowey come back and with TMac playing so well our backline is the envy of the comp. If Petty can stay fit and can build into the season he’s an absolute weapon as a forward. Alongside Turner, JVR, Pickett, Fritsch and McAdam he’s an asset. Down back he’s surplus to our needs.

Fairly sure it’s expected he’ll play a whole game in the VFL before returning. Let Petty run into form this week and then get McAdam in to tear the Blues a new one.

I can’t see any obvious changes. Maybe Hunter for Woewodin. Fritsch could play the defensive forward on Stewart. The area we most need to improve is in the middle. Our defence has been unbelievably good. If our mids get on top and Petty can clunk a few we should have this. Jeez, it’s going to be an incredible 2 weeks of footy coming up. Win these and the competition will look at us as the pace setters. Lose them both and we may have kissed top 4 and a flag chance away.

That’s absurd

Our backline is just needing Bowey and Salem, Tomlinson offers less than TMac and thus won’t play

Swap Woewodin and Laurie

On that form can’t see how Geelong or Carlton get close.

You watch Richmond kick the last 3

We lack skill plain and simple.

No but they show something, I like hunger but I’d settle for an appetite with pick 15.

I shouldn’t post this but sheesh, pick 15!!

Well I don’t see an issue with Fullarton, he’s looked good to me this week and last.

Absolutely no, I’d prefer Caleb Daniel as a key position forward.

Adelaide

That really is one that got away

I’ll take that back. I was referring to an immediate need as opposed to future needs.

I’m talking once Petty is playing for Adelaide not this year

We need Turner so play him

That’s proving the hard part atm

You don’t need a stadium for VFL and AFLW

I would imagine the plan is to build Caulfield with “no plans” to play games there and then in years to come when the NIMBY’s have given up we start playing VFL and WAFL there and move on from Casey.

Why?

Good to hear Bowey running around again. Would love for Turner to get a run at it. Petty replacement perhaps?
