\n Steven King was quick to share his thoughts on Harrison Petty.\n <\/p>\n
MELBOURNE coach Steven King has praised Harrison Petty’s attack on the ball and contest in his return to Melbourne’s line-up.<\/p>\n
Petty missed Melbourne’s last two matches with a hamstring complaint, but has looked a dangerous forward in 2026.<\/p>\n
It has come together for Petty ahead of the ball this season, after previously struggling in the forward 50 last year when forward entries were harder to come by.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has now kicked 14 majors from his last seven outings.<\/p>\n
\u00a0“He was great. We missed him the last couple of weeks but he’s been such a dynamic and what I’ll say is consistent contributor but competitor,” King said.<\/p>\n
“I mean his ability to chase and harass air ground bring the ball to ground but also I thought he was outstanding tonight in a game where a lot of our forwards would have lost heart with the way we were using it.<\/p>\n
“He just keeps competing so he was fantastic Petts.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Media Conference Steven King was quick to share his thoughts on Harrison Petty.
