This is so disconcerting, being an actual AFL club of substance. Kudos to getting another up and comer signed on longer term.

His aggression/arrogance grew with his confidence this season, he was really into English and Schache during the grand final.

Seems the club is proactive in signing its young players to long term contracts like Salem and Petracca.

 

When was his contract due to run out? It doesn't actually say how much longer he's signed on for. 

 

Gun player BTW, will be a key pillar of our backline for years to come.

signed till end of 2025

Good luck to any opposition team kicking a winning score against Petty, Bowey, Salem, Lever Rivers, Hunt,    etc and of course May until hopefully his 38th birthday. Honourable mentions to Spargo, Langdon, Oliver, Neal-Bullen, Brayshaw and all the other 'team' defenders who help out

The amazing stat this year as noted on the finals discussion was that if Dees kick over 65 points they win, such is the effectiveness of the defesnive stratgey and personnel.  

 

Moved from a possible to a definite during 2021.

Will be interesting to see where Tomlinson is played in 2022 and if Petty is played forward what about TMac and Weid

Selection problems to make one salivate

Love his aggression and the “don’t mess with me or my teammates” attitude. The good thing is that he is not alone. 

Good get!

What do we think he’s on. My thoughts would be about $400k per year. They’d have to factor in how good he could be in 2024 and 2025. He could be on as high as $450k if they think he could be a 550k-600k player in those last 2 years?!


great news, one of the big improvers of 2021

fantastic result - this will take him through to free agency, i would expect?

by the time the end of 2025 rolls around he could be well primed to take over from lever as our tall backline 'general'

you would imagine both the crom and the pear would have been in his manager's ear about getting him home to south oztraya - he is EXACTLY what they are both missing from their current line-up

He did an excellent job on Hawkins in the Prelim when May went off with hamstring issues.  If he puts on a bit muscle, learns a few more tricks from May and in due course can replace him.

Contract renewal is for 3 years 'til end of 2025.  By end of 2025  May will be a smidgeon under 34 (January birthday) if he is still playing.  Petty will be 26.  

Great signing not just now but for future list planning.

 

Edit:  Just noticed that he will be an RFA at the end of the contract.  Imagine if he has another premiership medallion or two and will be 26; at his peak.  Will be in huge demand.  Oh well.  Let's make hay while the sun shines with him and the other premiership youngsters.

Great news !!! Petty really showed us what we saw glimpses of before his injury.  Gotta love our future with such young guns who can keep improving.

He would probably prefer you to talk about his aggression towards players who are not in the top 10 softest players in the entire league.

The way that he stepped up and hit the ground running shows the quality of our development team and Harrison’s character, he grasped the opportunity and exceeded all our expectations.💕❤️💙

I still think there is a chance he might end up forward, he is a really good contested mark when  he makes that his focus. 

But regardless, he has been sublime this year. His timing to leave his player and commit to being an additional spoiler, has all the ear marks of a young Lever. And that touch of arrogance is great to see.

Really happy with this extension. Now we just need Turner to come along too. Lever, Petty and Turner post May. I'd be completely happy with us targeting another KPD in the first round this year, if we think they're good enough.

We want that second wave of elite talent continuing to come through underneath Petracca, Oliver, Salem and Lever.

Since you game style relies heavily on excellent defence, I'm happy if we keep nurturing those sort of players.

Reckon this bloke can be an All Australian in three or four years.

Great contested mark. Tough. Great spoiler.  Good disposal especially kicking. Will become  a better handballer with more experience.

Incredible talent identification by our recruiters.

 


How goals did he have kicked on him since he came into the side?  Couldn't have been many.  Can't remember him getting outmarked too often either.

 

I remember when we drafted him Jason Taylor got asked why we would take him when had plenty of tall backmen. JT said when "a jet" is available at your pick you take them regardless.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
