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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
