  1. He does. Very much still on.
  2. If he leaves he'll be at one of three Victorian based clubs, it won't be us.

  4. Of course it does.
  5. What’s your context and question? I’m clearly not following what your statement and question has to do with my comment.
  6. Right. Unable to provide any real world examples, but sticking to the notion that merely saying something makes it so. Droll, but apt.
  7. Please provide an example of another FADG/ADG/DepSec/Sec etc. who provides one months notice then moves on? You honestly have zero clue what you’re talking about. What you suggest happens at the Band 1 or 2 level, doesn’t even occur at SES level. Genuinely unsure if you’re just trolling, or have no context of anything in Government or private practice. Because I’ll tell you, after having worked across both the public and private sector, no one moves into a new role after a 4 week notice period. You’d struggle to come across that at even an APS4 level or as a junior associate.
  8. He is. At his current place of employment; like standard practise and convention with regard for the normal context of these contracts.
  9. In what world, does a person in a position as CEO, regularly start after a month? Bizarre. “Yeah, I’ll just hand in my four weeks notice. See you in a month, boys!”
  10. To be fair, there were knocks on his kicking and kicking consistency in his draft year. What DD has said is very fair, and honestly his disposal this year has been fairly poor, IMO. “Another facet of Windsor's game he has shown improvement in is his kicking. He often gets good length and is capable of slotting impressive goals on the run, but does a lot of work at speed and that can impact his efficiency in the short-range. When more measured, he is capable of sharp passes which do damage.” For reference, last year his disposal efficiency was 65.8% which is below average (57.6% by foot), and this year is only a slight marginal improvement 68.2% which continues to be below average (61.7% by foot). I’ll also add, I think there is a component of sunken cost bias with Windsor on this site, pursuant to where he went in the draft. If he was taken at Pick 40 (for example), I think far more people would be asking more questions of him, where his role is in the side, and about his continual selection despite his shortcomings. Personally, he may come on and develop further; I’m just not sure if his strengths will be enough to outweigh his poor disposal and execution.

  11. On what metrics? I find it phenomenal that you can say Petty has been our best key forward this year - even acknowledging that in the current crop that threshold would be relatively low.
  12. Gawn - Richo's barn door Viney - **** for brains Fritsch - some important cameos Petty - McCain farm fresh Bowey - continued stellar season Turner - leave him forward Rivers - continues wasteful disposal Windsor - line through him Melksham - was well held Kozzie - limited past first Petracca - never looked damaging Oliver - lethargic and slow Langford - well timed bye Salem - approaching swan song Pickett - traditional Pickett game JVR- one good passage Melbourne football club - draft elite users!!!!!!

  14. That doesn't "only leave Petty". We're not playing finals; it's moronic to suggest that you keep playing an individual, who can't fulfil a role, for the sake of playing him. In his 'current state' Jefferson has kicked 10.3 over the past two weeks. Petty has kicked 10 for the year. It's a complete fallacy for people to trot out this line that Petty "is there to compete", because he doesn't even do that. He's a plodder at best and is shown up every week. I'm not a huge fan of Jefferson based on what I've seen in his AFL games, but you need to have selection integrity. We don't and haven't for years.
  15. This is very fair. Jeffo's recent form at Casey was ahead of JVR's; he should've been recalled ahead of him.
  16. If the reports at the time were accurate, it was another baffling non-decision by the MFC and just to some of the perplexing list decisions (or non-decisions) we've made post 2021.
  17. It doesn't have to be binary. Not sure why you're fixating on an or / or scenario. Petty is not, and will not be the answer.
  18. Many drank his bathwater after the 2023 Richmond game, was which extremely premature. He traditionally has been a fairly accurate goal kicker, but that has completely tapered off too. Outside of the backline, he offers absolutely nothing. I'd even go as far as saying some of the comments about him 'providing a contest' down forward are extremely flattering, with reference to his gameday output and efforts.
  19. We have, for the majority, some very poor users of the ball - to the point that you could almost make the argument that the FD don't value good users. Our ball use around the ground and going inside is fifty is abysmal, but I'm hardly bringing anything new to the table here; but it is an issue. Look at the final minutes yesterday and the last quarter: Windsor's dump kick to the 50; Oliver blazing away OOF; Gawn's kick in the D50. These aren't the only examples, but it allows for the exploitation and retention of possession by the opposition. Couple this with we lack a true forward line / KPF, and these issues become all the more apparent. Neither point is singular, but the trend is due to culmination of these issues, IMO.
  20. If he's not down back, he is of zero value - and I say that by noting that since he's been thrown forward and returned back on the odd occasion, he looks nothing like the player he was seemingly developing into at the end of 2021. As it stands, we effectively play a body down with him in the forward-line. If we don't see him as a backman, he should be moved on. Because he absolutely is not a forward.
  21. May - Turned back clock Petty - Playing one-man down Lindsay - Tried yet limited Windsor - Back to Casey Chandler - Continued good season Rivers - A wasteful accumulator Pickett - Brought the energy
  22. Melbourne Football Club - Richo’s barn door Petty - an irrelevant footballer Lever - limited contemporary skills May - Looked better today Rivers - plays for frees XL - Skilful ball user AJ - Limited but effortful Windsor - Continues to decline
  23. 7.15. Not sure if it’s 2022, 2023, 2024 or 2025.
