After a stellar five goal performance on Friday night Leigh Montagna, Dale Thomas & Damian Barrett debated whether Christian Petracca should become a permanent forward.
Montagna believes Melbourne have enough midfield depth to allow Petracca to spend more time inside 50.
“I’m in that camp. They’ve got enough midfielders,” Montagna said.
PETRACCA’S POSITION:
“Oliver, Viney. Sparrow needs more time. Kozzy Pickett should play a bit more up there like Shai Bolton & Rankine. River has shown he can play there,”
Damian Barrett highlighted the loss off Angus Brayshaw during the preseason is impacting Melbourne’s flexibility to move the magnets.
