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

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
