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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
