    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.

    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.

    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. 

     

    Honestly would you go to Adelaide they make us like 2021 grand finalists?

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
