If he's going it will be a trade at the end of next year. We have time to get contingency in place and there's no way we'll let him run into his FA year and rely on compensation in return. Even 1st round compensation will be late 1st round.  The Crows will have to pay far more than that.  The Lever trade is the benchmark.

    Nothing wrong with a Toyota

    Fogarty & pick 10 will do

    In a perfect world pick 10 turns into O’Sullivan and they become key pillars for 10 years

    Benchmark is (at a minimum) the Luke Jackson trade.

    Based on the McKay compensation we should be getting pick 1

    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.

    Oh please - what is it with the 'email the club to express my frustration' palaver.

    You dont think they have better things to do than respond to fans critiques?

    Please. 

    I encourage my fellow demonlanders to not contact the club to bag them out.

    is this incompetent [censored] capable of getting ANYTHING right?

    he's a restricted free agent at the end of 2025

    if he elects to go and we're not happy with the compo, we can match

    ffs, ralph is a hopeless 'journalist'

    Rarely do teams match when players wish to leave.

    and the part that most annoyed me is that they made it sound like we had a year to sign him up or we'd lose him

    he's signed for two more seasons, not one

    Loyalty lol. If his injury doesn't heal and he has a bad season next year, you'll be one of the first trying to kick him out the door.

    I wasn't talking specifically about Petty, I was referring more to the broader professional sport evolution.

    It is also cruel when the clubs treat players like just assets and not people.

    I do agree I may have become more cynical, just too many negative stuff happening around in the world today.

    Seriously Clubs are going to go broke or at best be seriously compromised if they going to offer a player 800k on a long term contract that has a serious foot injury. Petty is a good player with further potential, injuries aside, but he is not a champion. The deals being offered around the traps are high risk plays. And can end up belly up.

    Would have been fun to see Petty request a trade on an 8 year, $106m supermax deal then have the Crom offer up their future 2nd rounder

    Lots of water to pass under the bridge on this one. Sydney convinced Papley to stay when it looked like he was on the way to Carlton.

    Papley going to Carlton would have been further reason to hate both player and club including fans. The latter would be insufferable.

    Surely any offer by the crows is irrelevant because he is contracted till 2025. Petty cant just pack up and leave.He wouldnt do that to us anyway.

    I reckon mangers are trying to boost his value.

    We can wait till 2025 before re signing him. Why the rush.

    What if he breaks down again.

    Alot can happen to AFL clubs in 18 months.

    Look at how much we have been affected since the Maynard incident. One disaster after another.

    It was only a month ago. Feels like it happened last year.

    People change and so do clubs priorities.

    Look their not doing what their doing because they are supremely intelligent or have high professional standards. They are journalists in name only. I prefer the term “reporters” although they are not reporting facts but rather reporting opinions. Any footy journo with any ambition or higher calling would get out of the industry and do something worthwhile. But who would employ them and what would they do? Hmmm, that’s a mystery.

    It's disappointing all this. Petty was to be our key pillar for the next ten years. He's won a flag with us, we drafted him in the second round and have developed him very well. I guess Adelaide could say a similar thing of Lever, but this is a problem for us list management nevertheless.

    I hope we can change his mind and get him a KPF partner for 2025.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
