Adelaide throwing the toys out of the cot....

First we didn't let them have Clarry, now we won't let them take Petty.

Poor Crom.

Petts so important to this teams success. He's looking like the best key forward we've had since Hogan

Yes, he's looked great up forward but it's only a few matches, a tiny sample size. We would need to see how he goes over the longer term, and in particular how he goes once opposition clubs start working him out and putting some time into him both onfield and in how they prepare for him.

Still, would hate to lose him.

His price will never be this high again…

Fascinating


Petty isnt going anywhere  $1m or $50m its irrelevant. Petty is contracted till end of 2025 season.

Petty hasnt said anything publicly has he? Sick of the crows trying to poach our contracted key players.

Lets try and poach Walker. See how they like it.

Dont want McAdam anymore.

Dont want any ex Crows polluting our club. Hes an ordinary player anyway.

Melbourne better not get sucked in by Pettys greasy manager and pay massive overs beyond '25. Bulldogs panicked bigtime with Naughton possibly going to the Swans.

Petty could break down again which will dramatically affect his value.

It will be higher next year if he kicks 50 goals

If his foot injury is strong enough for a full Season?

Depends what The Croms are prepared to put up

If Essendon pay McKay $800 the Petty should be on $1.6M 

That was pure good old tampering. Norf gets their ridiculous compensation while Essendon keeps their high draft pick (they have enough cap space to offer this ridiculous amount of money to the "bad" McKay).


I've wanted to not believe it because i love Petts, but this has been bubbling in the background for over a month.

1m a year we can't compete with that, i reckon he's as good as gone.

Firstly we can compete with that. We have plenty of cap space. Secondly he is contracted. He cannot be “gone” unless we choose to trade him. 

Based off absolutely nothing, I think this is Pettys manager trying to get a better deal for Petty at the Dees. Melbourne isnt trading Petty this year. And if we dont trade him I suspect a contract extension announcement will be happening before Kings Birthday next year.

What has become apparent over the last couple of days, is how little people in the media know about Harrison Petty's ability. 

Barrett and Dal Santo talking as if he's some unproven rookie. Laughable.

There is a reason the Crows (who have notoriously underpaid for players in the past) have tabled such a big contract in front of Petty.

Must keep.

Must keep our core premiership team at all cost.

We have only lost Harmes and Jackson so far. Harmes unfortunately was no longer required and Jackson abandoned ship.

Sadly I have to agree with you, there’s too much smoke to be nothing….

when playing, he’s one of my favourites.  Will be a massive loss.

Crows don't have the draft capital to get it done

That's what im affraid of, I've been afraid of this day coming since 2021.

Out of all of our players he is the one they are creaming over.

(Plus Clarry😂)

I mentioned it when it came up to start with, this is all driven by his management, who ever is in charge he has been driving it along with that slime ball Justin Reid.

Don't get me wrong I'm not happy with this, i will be contacting the club via email like i did with Clarry's situation.

I encourage my fellow demonlanders to do the same.

Got to get a fair bit in return next year for a 2 time Premiership player and current Coleman medallist.

He wont be leaving, just Adelaide journos looking for clickbait.

When do Barret and Morris ever miss an opportunity to stir strife at MFC. [censored].

If Harry Petty is being offered money like that i'd expect a formal trade request very soon

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
