Gotta say... love the posivity..especially on a day we're positively rubbish. But... some of what you suggest has foundation... unfortunately I think there's 'trouble at mill' The only bouncing back from this game will be of the dead cat variety. Much needs doing. But that only creates more questions in my thinking.

And then you look at the club and its forward coaching...... Just sayin' Something that often bemuses me is how is it that a good defender, and by any metric Petty is.... then finds it hard to not employ what they know about nullifying a forwsrd.... in becoming one !! It's the same bloody coin at the end of the day. I do see the argument hovering that will say...it's about the delivery. I will give that some currency. It invariably, imho, comes down to footy nouse. Good forwards just know how to be in space, lose their minders, use their bodies ( timing ) . I guess some ARE better reading the play in defence . This seems to be Petty. I agree...either he plays down back...or for another team. He's not our forward arc solution. Again... I'd be putting out smoke signals to our recruiters and scouts...... any big boys out there in the other leagues, kicking bags. He can be as rough around the edges as all get...but can he play, has he the rudiments ??? Imo...a kpf doesn't need a tank....just be one ;)

Might be just me but i think we've only ourselves to blame. For far too many years we've played a player-non specific style of attack. Was all about the system ( rubbish as it was ) thar relied on the style of play more than the idea of being player-centric. We therefore didnt look for the right types ar draft or look to throw $ at someone....as we had it 'covered' Well we don't. That KEY , and key being the operative word , Forward just isnt on our books atm. Not one one that actually works ( properly, reliably , effectively) Possibly BBB was to be one.... but our forward craft torched him. In his day Watts was one....but we ( and by we....they....the ones out there ) ignored him. Petty looked like one for 5 mins... but time's up it seems. Tmac ...kinda....but he's playing out his golden days . A good kpf often doesn't hit his straps til around 24/25.. Youll not find one at draft ready to go. Good ones get paid to stay.. good luck there. Ive always thought outside the box.... Id be scouring for a Ponsiadly type.

Everyday... EVERYDAY ?? Tbh honest atm Petty is all over the shop.. brilliant one game....did he even turn up....turned it up on other occasions. Personally, and cue the wolves/ jackals/ meerkats.... I think overall he's quite 'average'. Some will roll out excuses but you wander over that white line you've called yourself as good to go... and often he isn't. I get we're bereft of that real KPF.. Roo is good...but he's young....in 3 to 4 ...could be really something. He Roo does offer a chop out to Max... so hes not the real KPF... Goody seems compelled /stuck with Petty. Id give Jeffo a crack... i dont see him as any worse... and might surprise ( might not ) If Petty...its by reluctant default....and yeah....thats why you pick players eh Go Dees
