Petty is worth so much more than Thilthorpe. Petty has shown he is a very capable KPP at both ends, Thilthorpe is struggling to be a half decent KPF

    Apologies for giving Cornes oxygen.

    'Like for like'. Would it be? In football terms for one (@Demon Disciple's response noted) but also:

    The player's respective desires to move (if any)?

    Does HP still get the $3.4m? And what contract for RT?

    Just because there's a lure doesn't mean it will catch anything. 

    As a fisherman who mostly uses lures this is 100% correct 😂

    I am firmly is the keep Petty camp but I'm guessing it comes down to how highly JT rated Thilthorpe is his draft year.

    Petty has to be the most underrated player in the competition!

    Any Petty trade significantly reduces our current window while Max and May are still elite AFL players. I would only consider Thilthorpe plus all their first rounders.

    And McAddam, at the very least.

    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

    A 4 - 5 year deal at $650-700k.would be fair value IMO. He is an excellent key defender entering his prime over the next few years and has demonstrated he is very capable as a key forward. Look at what Essendon paid for Ben McKay.  The $800k that Adelaide are supposedly offering includes a premium to entice him out of an environment he is happy in - Roos once said it costs 20% more to trade in a player than to retain one.

    On a side note I like that Tom Morris is reporting Petty's lure to his boarding school 'home'. The whole idea of boarding school is somewere to stay while you study away from home. As some have pointed out here he is not from Adelaide but South Australia.

    We won't trade Petty. Hold him to his contract and start negotiations on a great extension next year.

    If it doesn't work out then we've got a year to make alternative plans.

    He has 2 years to run so if he wants to go to the Crows at the end of next year they still have to pay up big for a contracted player.

    Basically values Petty as Future 2nd and McAdam to us. Every other club says yes because Melbourne loses out so badly in this deal. Thilthorpe, pick 10 and McAdams to be in the conversation for Petty.

    Petty is a great player and would love to keep him at the Dees. 
    However I think we are crazy not to consider options given he may want to leave at the end of his contract anyway. 
     

    I would consider a trade along the lines of: 


    Thilthorpe or Fogarty, 10 and McAdam

    for Petty and a Future 2nd 

    yes it’s overs for Petty, but they are offering him 1 mil 2 years out from a contract. 
     

    Thilthorpe or Fogarty are young enough and will develop really well with JVR. mcAdam comes across with another player which may assist in forward connection earlier, and we get another first rounder to throw at Eagles for Reid.

     

    We can cover petty down back with Disco.

    Great deal for West Coast assuming they get the player they wanted with their first pick regardless of pick 1 or pick 4.

    Petty must stay at Melbourne. Adelaide can go and get stuffed. As for Mcadam he is about as reliable as passed wind in a pickle bottle.

    3rd rounder or go jump, crows

    Disagree covering Petty.

    His is a super star in the making if his body holds up better.

    Plus I know he's only played a few games fwd but ultimately that's his best role and we would struggle to find a replacement for him there.

    We have no serviceable tall feds apart from him. Maybe Smith but he's not super tall or as good.

    Hope we  can keep him.

    Stuff McAdam. Just another overrated [censored] in the money fueled trade period. Stuff the crows. I dont want any of them playing in our jumper( except Tex).

    Hey crows!!!  wanna give us Tex!

    We'll give you Spargo Chandler and a future 2nd round pick.

    • 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.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
