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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
