    Fantastic news!

    Stoked to see what Petty can do with a full pre season as a tall forward.

    Finally some good news. Really hoping Petty has a strong preseason and is over his OP issues. Sparrow is handy to have too.

    Agreed.

    Also pleased with Sparrow's progress.  He didn't set the world alight, but I think there is a real chance that he could become a best 22 player in the coming years.

    Yep, would have easily played more games if it wasn't for his shoulder injury.

    Let's get Petty fit and firing and  KP back or forward awaits.

    Liked Sparrows improvement and the way he was hungry when either in the play or resting on the Forward  line to score. Goals from mids are priceless and we must get more from 2021on.

    Very happy with this as Adelaide must have been sniffing around.

    These two have shown enough to me that they could make it.  Good signings.

    Great news. Two kids with good potential imo. Would have been annoyed to loose either one. Hopefully they step up next year.

    Petty 20 yo can play forward as he has shown in the past and recruited as a key backman . Great to see the loyalty.

    Sparrow an up and coming future midfielder imo will make the grade. It is good to see our future signing up. They are great kids.

    This is great to retain these SA boys. I'm hoping in the next couple of years they'll develop and show their worth.

    Good try Adelaide - eat crow [censored]

    Interesting. I wonder how far off further list management decisions are.

    I assume as the external review is being conducted, the FD just operates as normal.

    Is one happening AF? I have Heard nothing of it and my email on the same subject To the chairman of two weeks ago has not been answered. Don’t be surprised if there is no external review undertaken.I now think that we may get a small internal review that changes a few things around the edges. Hope I am wrong!

    There is one happening, yes. If one wasn't happening, you'd be more likely to get a conciliatory email.

    Is that your only proof? I am hoping he has taken a break or still in QLD or  has not even got it / read it yet. I am at the stage of believing it when I see it.

    Well done Dee’s, they have the potential to help us continue our climb up the ladder, quality kids!

    Glad Petty is signed on. I was afraid he’d get cut with reduced lists due to ongoing injuries. He’s got potential at either CHB or CHF. Could be the missing piece of the puzzle for our forward line if he get stay on the park.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
