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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
