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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
