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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
