Needs more games. Love his ability to peel off but he doesn’t quite have it in one on ones yet. Tomlinson did seem to lockdown a bit better but I’m backing this guy in he’s doing alright.

Well he's certainly been noticed now.

I want to apologise to Harry. I was wrong on this guy. Never thought he would make it and actively called for TMac to go back when Tommo went down. Wrong o  2 counts there!!

Outstanding last night in the Adelaide cauldron. 

If it comes down to being in a position where one of he and weidemann want to leave for more opportunity, particularly when Tomlinson comes back, I’d keep Petty. Even if he plays forward post BBB or Tmac 

 

He has been building up and this was his best ever game. Well done Harry.  
Whilst his best work has been in defence, he has done a bit as a forward so his versatility will be valuable looking ahead over the coming years.  

Possibly the best spoil I've ever seen - 40 metres crashing through a pack down the corridor leading directly to a goal.


I'll take 4 intercept marks from a defender every day of the week. Petty was worth his salt and more last night. Absolutely esssential to have a guy who can mark under pressure and apply a bit of heat when the ball hits the deck.

Very important part of our back 6 !!! 

Petty really bounced back from 3 or 4 poor games.

Loved the fact that he backed himself - previously he looked too timid to me. Too scared to make mistakes

Could be the making of him to get that confidence.

 

Looks like we've got a tall defender factory to rival Adelaide's, except ours isn't a factory strictly for export! ?

Amazing that his form has meant we replaced tomlinson easily. i thought at the time it was a massive blow. when tommo comes back we’re going to have serious depth.

Wonder how we line up next year then

Petty not the heartbreaker of old! Career best game last night!

I heard Jason Taylor asked why we took Petty in the draft when we already had a depth of tall midfielders on the list. He said when there is a jet available at a pick you didn't expect you have to take them.

" tall midfielder" interesting way to describe Harry! More like " tall defender " I would have thought. Liked HP from day ones draft highlight reel !!!


Great game by Harry last night, beautiful to watch.

Slipped that one in Tom ( PF) A beauty!! ( Bruce McAveney)

Except he's not that "old"! 21 years of age and has only played 21 games.

For a 197cm KPB, many people here were quick to write off a player who is young, learning but with huge potential.

Last year plenty here wanted Petty delisted (along with players like Spargo, Tom Mac, JJ and Hunt).

China ain't answering our call Goffy !!!

It certainly is easy to forget how young he is.

Think it's also his style in the the plays his role at the moment without fuss.

Reckon he will be marking a lot more hopefully like he did against the Dogs in the last quarter. Old school and reliable Harry. Suits us just fine! 


Just wanted to add my voice to this - what a game last night, super impressive. Well done!

 

Breaking news: 21 year old key position defender with 20 games under his belt starting to perform like he belongs. 

Petty will be a very good long term key defender or even forward. Anyone who has followed him at Casey would know this.

The knee jerk reaction of supporters to write off players is insane. He's played 20 [censored] games. How well were you doing at your job on day 20?! 

Very happy to see this with Harry.

We can be a bit impatient with back men at Melbourne. We should also remember this is a different era to ones gone past. 

The backlines blokes like Ryan Ferguson, O-Mac, Nicho and even Chip Frawley and Jared Rivers played in saw them take on responsibility too early and in positions they were not equipped to be taking on at the time. Of all those five players, the only one I could say I'd feel comfortable playing on someone like Jonathon Brown, Travis Cloke, Matthew Richardson or Buddy Franklin would be Chip. The rest had the potential to be decent cogs complimenting more credentialed players, but not much else.

Harry playing under Lever and May, two bonafide A graders, will do wonders for his development. The habits and knowledge he'll pick up, and the pressure he'll be feeling as Tommo will be gunning for his spot at soon as he gets his knee back in shape, will mean we have found a keeper.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
