Player Watch #35: Harry Petty – is here for 3 more years, but is not a KPF or a ruck

I'm excited to see how he goes with the more attacking gameplan and hopefully means Trac goes back to spending more time up forward. Also means we get to drop one of Harmes or Jordon.
Also probably means Gus and Viney go back to sucking because we funnel every clearance through Clarry and he can't play any other role

He needs to sacrifice his game a bit, not disturb the flow and unpredictability we have going in the midfield right now. Him getting 40 touches means **** all. Get him playing like he did in that game against Sydney where he hurt them on the outside and we are onto a winner. Im scared of it going the other way and the midfield becoming a stale predictable mess with centre bounce attendances all going to 3 or 4 blokes. Learn from his mate Trac, you dont need your possessions to make us better.

Worst case scenario that. I'd be rotating Clarry through the forwardline with Trac similar to the Swans game early this year if Viney and Brayshaw can't get involved.

Dunno if it's worst case. Viney and Gus looked crap most of the year till Oliver went out. Definitely like the look of Oliver forward, we need to keep everyone hungry and not get back to every ruck tap going to Oliver or bust
 
It is my concern also with how the dynamic is going to change with Oliver back in. I mean, yes of course a fully fit Oliver makes us better but with the midfield structure and dynamic looking the best it has since 2021 I'm super wary what this means for Viney and Brayshaw.

Our entries inside 50 have also improved instead of the dump mongrel kicks by Oliver. He's gotta be able tinker some aspects of his game otherwise it'll throw our system out of wack.

I suppose having Oliver back in means no more Harmes or Jordon at least.
 
Christ. Not sure we can rely on him being back for the start of next year now. Maybe even all of next season, h given Richo sounded like he was at a funeral. Crushing.

I predict Goody will continue to persist with him forward for the rest of the year. Petty will be traded to Adelaide for a bag of chips. Goes on to be an absolute rock in their back line for the rest of his career.

Meanwhile at Melbourne, May retires end of 2025 and we have no full back to replace him.

**** I'm going to be so mad if that happens.

I think we'll just hold him to contract again.
 
4.13 from 13 games. Missed absolute sitters last night that cost us the game.

Gee almost like something might be wrong with his foot and we're playing an injured player because they're a Goody favourite despite our season being over and having options worth trying at VFL level.

Doesn't sound like something Goody would do though....

Kynan Brown just needs to get a few more injuries under his belt before he's rewarded with a full game.
