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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
