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.

  • 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.

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
