Corey Norris 9 news Ā - throwing Petty up as a swap is absolutely laughable. Is that guy actually serious? If I was his boss Iā€™d sack him for stupidity.Ā 

Yet another example of the media pile on of disrespect for the MFC. Regardless of what happens this finals series, I hope we absolutely nail this draft/trade period and have a Geelong like decade-long window of premiership contention.

    Exactly. Why donā€™t they just go for broke and trade him to Collingwood for one of their premiership defenders?

    Oh waitā€¦

    I was just driving home from work when Andrew Jarman on radio suggested Harry Petty would be a fair trade. I almost killed my accelerator.

    Adelaide might get petty with this trade, it wonā€™t be Harrison however.Ā

    For a hack that can barely get a game in a bottom side.Ā  And has left taking everyone down with him.Ā  He screams of poor attitude to me.

    Complaining about the fitness and medical program but wants to come to the club that has a system in place constructed by the same guy (burgess).

    AVOID!!

    AFAIK his "complaining" came about because he was instructed to run through hamstring awareness and tore it. I can see how that would be annoying.

    I've noticed his marking and great leap.Ā  Hopefully he can have a Tyson Stengle type impact for us

    He equalled NicNats vertical jump record when he was at the combine.... so yeah, not a bad leap.

    should go well in our forward line competing with Tmac Fritta Kozie and Gawn

    SoĀ  Ā  for those that know

    If we get this bloke does that mean we no longer look at Liam Henry or do we get LH to go to Casey ?

    Pretty sure Henry has nominated the SaintsĀ

    After watching some highlights as a way to pass the time, besides the obvious great leap his ability to get the ball off the ground is nice and he seems to apply pressure and chase well, two things we desperately need as BBB and TMac have aged and Milk effectively out all of next year. I think this will be similar to the Lachie Hunter acquisitionĀ where he may not be an A grader but will play his role well and allow us to fill a hole for relatively cheap. He also has better upside than Hunter in a position we need.

    Im pretty sure hes a FA.

    I don't think players will be invoived in this deal unless we are offering goodwill to someone ie Harmes/Tommo

    A forward line JVR, Petty, Smith, McAdam, Fritsch plus smalls Kosi, Chandler, ANB, Spargo reads ok

    Yes, but only if we can get all of those on the park consistently, esp for finals.Ā 

    Still think we are one tall, competative forward short, ie. not Schache or Grundy. Jefferson is a long way off, if at all

    Heā€™s a natural forward in his prime that replaces Melksham. Takes pressure off Fritsch with his ability to mark and with Pickett to be at the fall of the ball.

    Zero Hanger reporting that Harrison Petty could be used in a trade deal! Adelaide into him evidently.

    Not sure their reporting Petty could be part of the deal but Adelaide would like Petty as part of the deal. Given our shortage of key position players I think there is close to zero percent chance Petty is traded.Ā

    There is just no way we part with Petty unless he is telling us he wants out, and even then I reckon we will say no as heā€™s contracted.Ā 
    Crows have no choice but to come to the party. McAdams is uncontracted.Ā

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasnā€™t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturdayā€™s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFLā€™s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Womenā€™s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the womenā€™s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayā€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andĀ  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
