It was lost as soon as the football brains trust decided Petty should play forward. We lose both our premiership Hackman and we don’t put the other one in we still have? How completely stupid! Howes, great at VFL but seriously not up to it. Jeffo should have been there and Petty back I mean it started off dumb and then just got dumber and dumber.

Really enjoying this game, especially a Fritsch looking so good This!

What a worthwhile inclusion Petty has been instead of Jeffo. NOT! Jeffo today in VFL completed and led etc I mean I know or just VFL but he looked great and we should be persisting. Him and JVR are our future

Would be a welcome twist to see Culley out there today.

Funny thread, I rekcon Fagan is on the money.

Choosing Petty over Jeffo is sad and a shocking decision, awful selection, Spargo too I mean who cares we need to play the kids who are our future and Petty should be played back my god what are they thinking. Dumb pointless decision. I was actually excited watching JVR and Jeffo play together and I thought they were trending up too, just give them more time you [censored] didn't they say "don't want to waste any games"??? Picking Petty instead of Jeffo seems like a pointless waste to me.

What a sad day for footy and for all us footy fans, they are truly corrupt. Just hopeless. Okay, well if you're going to ban someone for that enough is enough you need to also ban the knee in the back of the head or spleen or lungs as a result of a speccy...go all in or not at all AFL you bunch of [censored] suckers!

Whatever is going on, Petracca wanting to leave wouldn't have been because we were losing games there would have been other more serious things going on that the public doesn't know about. Him threatening last year seems to have been one of many things that caused a lot of changes at the club, and I would hope this means his concerns were addressed. It would be pretty petty and disappointing if a player just left because they wanted to win, especially a real heart and soul player like him. I doubt he just would pick up and leave because we aren't winning I would hope it just drives him to make us better even more and then when we do start winning it will be so much sweeter than just bailing out.

Haha I love this, totally support it, love Joe and his whole "vibe" but I doubt he's unhappy with the way he finished off his career with the fairytale ending. Would love it though!

YES I DID!! Scum move and you know what the MRO need to either go all in or not at all, these knees he's putting into people needs to be stamped out he nearly killed a bloke for goodness sake not to mention the knee in May's head in our game. Get a grip MRO and AFL...you want to stamp out this nonsense do it properly!

So hypocritical he gets rubbed out based on outcome for that but the knee to head concussion outcome from the speccy won’t register. they need to cut out the double standards just because they like speccys they can only seriously want to get protect the head if they don’t just cherry pick when they want to suspend people.

FRITTA back baby!! On the young guys, you can tell they’re trying but they’re still kids, just don’t have enough polish yet, they will though.

Love to see May forward oh god I hope we try this!!!

Thought he was great, loved to see it, was being spotted more and more and just needs to be kept in the side with his future mate JVR so they can develop together and just get used to the big stage properly. He's a great kick in VFL, I'm sure he can be at AFL too. Hope he just puts on some more size because that would surely help.

Would hope the brains trust at MFC see that the forward line actually looked a lot better than it has for a while and keep it that way, I thought it functioned very well. I'd hate for them to mess with it again just because someone like Petty might be available when really he is probably best to take Lever's spot right now anyway. Surely they would see that too and want to just let it lie for a bit. Give it a chance! On that too, don't you dare drop Tmac again he looks so much better right now than both May and Lever, just more fit and mobile plus a big guy, why he hasn't been in the team the whole time is beyond me but hope he stays now and I hope we get another year out of him in this form too, he's a gem. Shout out to Fritsch too...played beautifully and unselfishly he looked refreshed and a great team player and able to kick goals, he was fantastic and I hope we see more of that version of him that we all know and love to see!
