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

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 don’t they just go for broke and trade him to Collingwood for one of their premiership defenders?

    Oh wait…

    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 won’t be Harrison however.

    For a hack that can barely get a game in a bottom side.  And has left taking everyone down with him.  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.  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

    So    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 Saints

    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 acquisition 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. 

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

    He’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.

    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 he’s contracted. 
    Crows have no choice but to come to the party. McAdams is uncontracted.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
