Just on an interesting one.

I heard this on the SEN trade bell few weeks back but someone had texted in at the time saying that Melbourne are trying hard to get Riley Thilthorpe from Adelaide. I obviously didn't take much notice of it because many things get said with zero substance on those Trade bells that random people just text in.

Listening to trade radio just then and it was mentioned one again that someone has texted in saying we are trying desperately hard in gaining Thilthorpe from the Crows. 

Again, I'm not putting any substance to it but it's interesting that it was mentioned again but on a different platform. Certainly a good discussion to have.

200cm key forward who was a pick 2 in the 2020 draft.

Certainly makes sense.

    Loving all the names that pop up. And this one's towards the 'that's-a-bit-exciting' end of the scale.

    But could we make it a rule that the OP, or someone shortly after, post some sort of useful 'availability' metric.  In the absence of anything more overt, contract status would be a good start.

    If Adelaide desperately wanted to win the flag next year - and crazier things have happened - they could grab Chol to fill Thilthorpe’s role, he’d pair perfectly with Tex and Fogarty. Then get Petty in at CHB who would drastically improve their backline.

    Meanwhile Thilthorpe would be a perfect fit as forward/ruck and JVR with another summer can play more chf.

    But the age of Tex, the age of May, how high the Dees rate Petty and how high the Crows surely still value Thilthorpe I just don’t see it happening.

    Nor can I see the Crows giving up Thilthorpe for picks alone.

    Crows won't trade unless Petty is part of the package. Why would they let a young KPF go otherwise?

    Unless we target free agents we have to give a player to receive a player. In my opinion the most tradeable player we have is Petty. That said I'm not sure Thilthorpe is the player I'd be willing to exchange him for. I haven't followed him closely but don't recall him having much impact any Crows game I've watched.

    At this point he is well short of what his draft position would suggest and if he doesn't take a noticeable step next season then the lingering shine will be off and his trade value will plummet.

    A lot depends on how much confidence Adelaide have that they can make that step happen. If it is low and the need for a fresh start dominates thinking, then we could get him relatively cheaply.

    I like the idea, and considering how good Thilthorpe was as a junior, and that he bagged five goals in his first AFL game, maybe Adelaide is the problem.

    It usually is! :D

    Unless someone like Petty was involved.

    I doubt the Dees let Petty go, but if he has told the club he wants out, then that is a different stroy.

    202cm, 103kg, marks well, can play ruck, surprisingly good at ground level and reasonably accurate.

    Safe to say he might fit the mould of what we need.

    Thilthorpe and McAdam for Petty* and a late pick.

    McKay for some picks.

    We win a ridiculous amount of i50's may as well load up on blokes who can mark it.

     

    * I love Petty and don't want him to go

    No way if it means Petty goes

    Petty won't be going. We love him. And rightly so.

    Think it's just the first thing Adelaide would ask for if we had the nerve to enquire about Thilthorpe.

    If you're after a meat petty, I'd suggest Auckland McDonald's.

    I do wonder about the condition of Petty’s Lisfranc.

    I also believe Thilthorpe has been left out of the Crom side from time to time, which surprised me considering his lofty rating. The height fits our desired profile.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
