    Could we do:

    McAdam, Thilthorp

    For

    Sparrow, 2nd round?

    A former pick 2 200cm KPF only 21 years old would command more at the trade table. McAdam is worth a third rounder. Thilthorp is worth a first. Sparrow and a 2nd is unders.

    I agree with you, although I don't rate McAdam at all.

    But they have asked for Sparrow, so might a good starting point to see how much.

    Only issue is we look like losing a lot of midfield depth so adding Sparrow to that coukd leave us thin

    If we got him we would have two former number 2 pick key forwards at around 200cm. Thilthorp leads left, Schache leads right and Petty marks in front.

    To be honest Petty is the single best Hope we have of solving our forward line problems. 

    I have no hesitation in saying he is/ will be a better player than McKsy Tilthorpe is still maturing and Lynch has been there done that. 

    All our questions from D/Lers re Perry's injury should cool their jets and wait till he comes back. My opinion Harry is a better chance 7 years younger than Lynch at 31 with a season long foot problem. The karma of Tom  playing a Maynard role has come back to bite. 

    No way should Harry be available for trade he is worth 2 of the Crows young forward flankers.

    Petty is off limits.

    And unfortunately I don't think he is our fwd line saviour.  As I think he needs to take May's position in the next couple of years.

    Petty might have to do it for 12 months and then we have a crack at the plethora of key forwards coming out of contract next yr.

    If only we had 2 fit Petty's

    I love Petty Forward he is a natural, but somehow it seems to me that his body is not durable enough to play as a Key Forward for a whole campaign.

    I would rather get a full season out of him as a CHB than a stop, start season as a Forward.

    The option is there to swing him forward if the need arises.

    supposedly to play key back with doedee leaving and murray off a knee, plus dragon himmelberg out the door, no idea how burgess goes as a back but fogarty walker and thilthorpe would still be ahead of him

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
