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

Why? We would be able to match that deal. In fact I would be shocked if we don’t have an extension on the table for him if he’s willing to commit beyond the next 2 years.

Would you pay Harry Petty who is currently recovering from a very serious foot injury 800-900k a year? 

I rate the kid, but no way in the world i'd be spending that sort of money on him

I don’t think the Crows would either if they worried his foot was a bust. 

Bottom line is, he is contracted. We need to back ourselves to keep him. If he has a great season and he still wants to go home we can trade him for even more. If this was his last year of contract I’d consider it. But with two years it’s pointless to trade him now.

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.

Melbourne have said they won’t trade him, he’s contracted, the salary cap is going up, he puts together a good year next year he’ll get offered plenty to stay.

And we have now freed up so much cap space and we have already signed on our key stars for long term contracts. In my completely uneducated opinion this feels to me like a manager trying to get more $$$ for their client from their current club

 

The day Tom Morris doesn’t post negative news about Melbourne or one of its players, is the day pigs will fly

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

They've got 10, 14, 20 - though then nothing after that.

Looking forward to Tom breaking the story about a specific instance of our poor culture.👌

Except we don't need to pay anymore for him now. He's already contracted for a further two years. The next contract will be the big one, Jonathan.

If that's the case then next ...

Nothing like keeping a borderline best 22 player against their will just to spite another club who refuses to trade one of their best players in exchange 😂

Unless that turns in to pick 1, would we do it?

We can get out pick back... haha

Or he might get the sack again, we can only hope.

Petty's manager is trying to get the best deal from the Dees for Petty.

IF things progress on this front, Melbourne should use McKay compensation as guide for Perry’s worth. 

The sheer optics of Petty going in the same window as McKay a lesser return would be shocking for the fan base.

No worries - but Gil or Dill would find some deceitful way of justifying it. 

 

The Crows have been told by the Demons that Petty will not be traded - so Crows will now play hardball over Shane McAdam.

Oh now the Crows are just getting petty.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
