    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: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
