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.

    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

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
