Great news. Both great fellas who are rated highly by the club.

See, I'd argue that opposite. We could have easily rolled over and given Smith a 2 year contract as is pretty standard. Instead, it seems we've questioned if he will be in our best 40 in 2 years time

Look this is a pretty average post. 1) with no exposed u18 form, a comprised draft, no first round pick, and Lockhart and Brown as potential rookie upgrades, we are not bringing in lots of player

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

Fantastic news!

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

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
