Nice to see Harry Petty get some recognition by the broader AFL community, i know most Melbourne supporters rate him, but i'm not sure the rest of the comp quite realises how good he is/can be. 

I'd argue he's our best young key position prospect by some distance.

    42 named players = almost 2.5 per team

    We got 4... good result

    Swans have 6

    Bowey and Rivers could be up there as well. Expect both to have good careers for us. 

    Not surprised the Swans have 6. Swans and Freo have the best young talent and will be competitors for years to come. Amazing that Andrew Brayshaw and Aaron Naughton are still both only 22!

    Is this a publicly voted team? The AFL story says, "A whopping 97 per cent of fans had Collingwood first-year sensation Nick Daicos in their side, with Brayshaw and Geelong key back Sam De Koning named in 95 per cent of teams." 

    It doesn't actually say that the team was selected by "fans", but the inference is there.

    F** me so it is a popularity contest? Why bother doing it then!

    Seems the 40 man squad is chosen by a panel and then its by social media/public voting, can't complain about Petty being unlucky when i didn't vote aha

    Petty unlucky, but McCartin and De Koning were the right choices for the main key defenders and the other backs who got picked ahead of him in Daicos, Coleman, Blakey, Clark, Young and Quaynor are all very good players. Not sure who I’d leave out for Petty of that group. It’s already 1 too many defenders to begin with. I’d take out Clark or Young and still be at the standard 7 defenders.

    This team doesn’t have 3rd talls at either end or really a true number 1 ruck, which shows you how rare good talls under 22 are to begin with.

    Petty may have flown under the radar of your average random footy fan, but I bet opposition coaches rate him.

    He has been our most consistent key back this year for mine.

    I’m looking for the joke in that @Demonstone, but I can’t find it.

    No joke intended FD.  Petty is relatively unrecognised by the football public at this stage but that is changing.

    On the other hand, opposition clubs would be well aware of his talent.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
