Substitute 'Oliver' for 'Petty' in that statement, how convinced would we be?

Personally, I don't think he goes (nor does Clayton), but just sayin'...

Is Clarry a forward 🧐😂😳?

I’m not convinced

    Win another flag (or two) with us under the current contract, then he can go if he wants.

    This highlights a need to draft a defender this year. May will decline, Tomlinson is nearly done, Turner is still unknown and Petty ideally plays forward, with the possibility of leaving. Not much to fill defensive post in 2-3 years time.

    The problem with Petty as a forward is price. He'll probably command a 30% premium as a forward over what he would be worth down back.

    Hopefully they lock up a contract extension earlier rather than later

    I presume you are the age of your name and like me I am 75 ( 65 year supporter from 1958) and we at our age start to forget things, and you have forgotten Jed Adams from WA in last years draft was secured for that very reason. 

    He might be a season away at least as he is bulking up this year and gaining experience, snd Disco Turner needs game time from Round 1 on the back line . 

    We are reasonably  served with both Joel Smith and Tmac who can play on talls as depth. 

    IMO we need another KP forward/2nd ruckman this year far more than a defender. Of course Fullarton may well fill this gap as the session progresses.

    Unfortunately Tmac is pretty much done...so I wouldn't be relying on him as tall depth.

    Bigger turning circle and slower than Tommo.

    I have spoken to my contact at the club. 

    Petty and his management met with Adelaide around 3 weeks ago. 

    They put together a presentation based around him returning to defence. 

    Petty ultimately said no. 

    The dust settled. 

    Adelaide have come back with an increased offer after Doedee's decision and Petts manager has told them he won't be leaving Melbourne this trade period. 

    We definitely have our work cut out for his long term commitment.

    Yep going to have to be a massive year to try and convince him to stay

    Well, it was clear as day when Tim Lamb said - he will play for us next year  - those last two words being the most meaningful ones.

    If he is meeting with them whilst contracted do you get the feeling once it’s up he’ll leave?

    Maybe a Coleman medal would convince Harrison to stay 🤔?

    Fully fit he is certainly capable of this feat.

    Stay Harry - win  another flag, a Coleman and maybe even a Normie.

    Petty will be an FA at end of 2025 so can walk to a club of his choice and we would get a comp pick in the mid to high teens (assuming the comp pick is deemed to be first round).

    If he goes next year we can negotiate a better deal with Adelaide.

    Wouldn't want to lose him but if he helps us win a flag or two before he goes then so be it.

    Comments by Luke Dunstan in a SEN interview today.

    “Petty's got a pretty serious foot operation that he had, who knows whether he'll be back and fit and firing.”

    Maybe there is a concern of his long term future from a physical point of view.

    THis is an interesting watch.

    As hes contracted and a required player we'd want a decent return, what did we pay for Lever, i'd assume the compensation should be equivalent to that.

    I do get the sense that will be the case. 

    However, he will be at Melbourne in 2024.

    i'd do that deal, as much as i rate Harry Petty, always risks coming back from the injury he's got and he did have a few injuries this year, that's a BIG return

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
