@ bully  dimma doesn't pick his team on merit. Petterd grigg keep getting games. He has his favs and usually the newbies are first to go, that's why I reckon king will be beck and Lloyd Gordon will be making way for him no matter how bad others are playing. But that's another story.

Anyway glad I got fasolo in. Got an extra 100 points this week alone. As I said if he keeps playin that hb role he should score well

Petterd has been good this year, I would sack Morris before letting go of Ricky. Grigg, not a fan, seagull who refuses to do the tough stuff, which is incidentally why I have time for Petterd.

On King, he's in the reserves and I suspect he'll stay there until either Gordon or Lloyd really stuff up. He looks past it, he's fumbly and lacks that zip that we've become accustomed to. If King is rushed back all I can say is our recruiting drive has been a joke, we picked up 3 small forwards in Lloyd, Gordon & Banfield so to drop them would be nonsensical.
Would prefer ohanlan or Lennon to petterd. Gotta give them a go sometime and u never know how they'll go. Petterd
Made mistake after mistake. Yeah he went in but he cost us a few goals.
With king I agree he looks past it but it just so dimma like that u can expect, for some unknown reason, that he will bring him back for one of these two.

Petterd had an 82% DE against Brisbane, 2 clangers and 134 SC points, this was from 28 touches and 18 kicks. I think many tend to focus on his mistakes because he looks ungainly, and don't get me wrong, his ball drop is awkward, but it is usually effective. Contrary to common belief his DE was 80% last year. Hard to believe I know but he appears to be playing within his limitations. As far as I'm concerned, if he minimises the long kicks he'll be fine, his short game is nothing to worry about. He also got 6 coaches votes against Carlton, he puts his body on the line when it counts. 

No doubt the time will come when the new guard replaces the likes of Petterd but it's too early for Lennon & McIntosh. O'Hanlon simply doesn't have the game that will translate well to AFL, lovely kick and mark but he doesn't have a tank, nor does he have break away pace.
