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

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
