We know who they want. They want Petty.

Sadly, this pursuit of McAdam has backfired spectacularly on us. 

Why.

You don't seriously think they have just asked for Petty because McAdam wants to come to us do you?

He is a target and was long before McAdam decided he wanted to leave.

Because Petty’s going to spend the next 2 years (if he’s with us that long) attempting the toughest job in football (key forward for Melbourne) knowing he’d rather be sitting at CHB for the Crows making 7 figures next year then 800k after.

Even if that's true, it has nothing to do with McAdam. 

The two issues aren't related.  Adelaide's interest in Petty is unsurprising.

He will be very happy to play CHF and win another flag at Melbourne. He is not unhappy at Melbourne. Never indicated that he was. 
Let’s stop blaming the club for literally everything that doesn’t go perfectly to plan.  
 

I bet my bottom dollar McAdams deal gets done. Adelaide are just having a cry because we won’t trade them Petty and Oliver for their crappy draft picks. 
McAdams is completely unrelated to them wanting to lure ready made guns to fill the gaps in their list. They’re desperate to go all out while Walker is still around and in top form. Can’t blame them. But also they’re being absolutely ridiculous in how they’re going about it.

Happily walk away from this. We control the trade, not Adelaide. They must have him confused with Rankin. 

Go get McLean for free instead

They also want to cover off for a life without Tex.

The two (us wanting McAdam & them Petty) are unrelated.

Petty was never up as a required Premiership player with 2 years to run,  yet they've then tried to link Petty in as part of the deal.

They've then stormed out of the room in an attempt to make out that we're the ones not playing ball.  Lmao!

Talk about childish.

Petty was never going nor was he ever going to be part of this trade period full stop DS.

How is a concocted cockamame trade dreamt up at West Lakes Chardonay cellars on us?

Let alone going to have some detrimental effect / outcome on HP?

I like McAdam. McAdam wants to come to the Demons. The Demons want to give reasonable compensation for him cause we're just cool people like that.

Crows don't want to let McAdam go for reasonable compo and want to force contracted players over instead.

Doing the maths, Adelaide sucks.

 

McAdam is out of contract and we have offered next years second rounder.

We need to chill the deal will get done or Adelaide end up with nothing.

We got F3 for a younger Premiership player, who has played 3 times the amount of games.

F2 will get this done, they are just making us sweat because of Petty staying and we got 11.

It would happen sooner if they found someone they wanted from another club, otherwise it gets done by Wednesday.


Why can’t you see Harmes was a salary dump? Crom actually would like to keep McAdam.

McAdams doesn’t want to play for Adelaide. It’s why he asked for a trade.

Crows will cave, it doesn't benefit them to not trade McAdam when he doesn't want to be there, they're just not going to do it until they're 110% sure that Petty is off the table

Which is ludicrous because McAdams and Petty are in no way intertwined. Melbourne would never accept McAdams as part of a trade for Petty unless he was just a freebie thrown in on top of picks and a better player.

So you are suggesting that our round one forwardline will be:

JVR (backup ruck duties also), Fritsch, McAdam, Smith, Kozzie, Chandler, ANB. 
That’s dynamic for sure, but our field kicking will need to improve markedly because only one maybe two of those players has a remote chance of taking a big contested mark. 

It won't include Kossie as he'll be suspended for round 1


We should have offered the Crows a third rounder first.

They could've had their tantrum, we counter-offer with the future second and everybody's happy.

I think that comes straight out of the AFC Trading Play Book

My Adelaide Neighbour tells me McAdam is good for 2 goals a game and has a good leap. 
 

Future 2nd is a fair trade. 

except he has average 1.4 He will want a good leap to beat Kozzie for MOY

That's a 2 goals a game forward most weeks!

I can see that.


We dont need this guy.If  he comes cheap ok for depth. Wouldnt stress me if he stayed at Adelaide

Easily replaceable thats why Adelaide are giving him the flick

Move on please Melbourne

Adelaide aren't giving him the flick.  He's giving them the flick.  They would rather he stayed.

What does Crom mean?

It’s a misspelling of crows. Not too imaginative from south Australians

Thought is was a misspelling of something to do with sniffing spray paint from plastic bags, which is what we should tell the Crows to do if they continue to think that this has anything to do with MFC Premiership player Petty.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
