If Petty requests a trade, I wonder if Walker will come out and have a go at him for “chasing money instead of success.”

    So as soon as another club shows interest in one of our players who is showing abit of form we should trade 'em.
    Got it 👌

    All these media parasites who think they're club list managers.
    Fork 'em all.

    I don’t want to lose Petty and I really don’t like to agree with Cornes but I think he’s right here. If Harrison has indicated that he will sign a new contract here then we should hold onto him. If not then it might be wise to trade him now when we can get as much as we can for him.

    We can't trade Petty without securing a key forward replacement  to replace him from Round 1 2024.  We're in the premiership window and we need to win games now. That is more important than selling Petty high. And the deal offered by Crows does not come close to selling Petty high.

    What evidence do you have that Petty isn’t happy to stay and play for Melbourne? 
    If he doesn’t come out and ask for a trade then he’s clearly very comfortable and committed to stay.

    I didn't say Petty wasn't happy at Melbourne. Please read my comment again, but read the entire thing this time.

    I love Petty to bits, i want him to stay as do all us Demons, but I reckon Petty knows deep down he's one injury away from screwing his future up here.

    Was the deal 5 years, 1m the first year then 800k the next four?

    Will this offer be there for him in 1-2 years time? I don't reckon it will be. He's stated he wants to come back to Adelaide.

    Im looking at this from a different lens here, I believe his Partner is from Adelaide? also if they want to start a family in the next 3-4 years his partners parents are going to be helping out part of the time would he get that help in Melbourne with no family? No way.

    He is very injury prone, he was injured twice this year playing as a Forward, a significant history with injuries.

    If he gets injured again his value will significantly drop from a draft point of view, if he's going to leave next year we won't see this deal again

    If this offer from the Crows is Thilthorpe or Fogarty, Pick 10 and McAdam for Petty if it eventuates take it and run i say.

    I'd even squeeze them for pick 14 aswell and throw in Neal Bullen or Chandler.

     

    Has he?

    The dialogue coming out of Adelaide sounds like it's being run by a 12 year old kid.

    Not publicly, but he doesn't have too, many players have been traded without even requesting a trade publicly. See Grundy and Steven May.

    The fact that Goodwin has had to sit down with him and convince him to stay, suggests that he has had serious consideration of going home as well as Adelaide's offer.

    There's enough smoke there.

    he would be crazy not to consider the move with that sort of money being thrown at him

    at the same time...he's re-committed himself to the club that he has a further two years under contract with

    ultimately after two more premierhips and two colemans he's going to be well-rewarded in the years to come regardless

    Agreed, but the post I responded to made it sound like Petty wanted to go back to Adelaide. The only public information we have is that Goodwin spoke to him and he's happy to stay. We've also had posts on this thread claiming he has no desire to leave and is happy at Melbourne. There's no doubt he listened to Adelaide's huge offer, but that's it at this stage.

    Adelaide seem to have done a bit of work with Petty, problem for them is they still need to satisfy us 

    Keep him as a required player like numerous clubs have done before. If he still wants out in two years as an RFA, we'll likely still get a mid to late first round pick as compensation. Which is currently the best Adelaide are offering with McAdam thrown in.

    Adelaide are yet to make it an appealing proposition for us. It's like North offering 15, 17, 18 and future end of first (19+) to West Coast. Doesn't go anywhere near satisfying the asset that he is.

    If Thilthorpe or Fogerty become part of the equation then we might listen. But I just can't see them offering either player.

    Does anyone expect him to not even listen? Of course you need to hear what they have to say. 

    I'm sure it captured his heart and mind. 

    Known as a really genuine guy, he has told the coach and his team mates he's staying.

    Do we know what sort of money he’s currently on? A decent pay rise might see him sign a longer contract. I’d assume he’d be on around $500k?!

    Love Harry but If the Crows offered 10,20 and McAdam for Petty you would have to seriously think about it.

    exactly.  of course he'd listen.  who wouldn't be excited by someone promising them to be an instant millionaire next year, even if it grossly overvalued him.

    there wouldn't be a demonlander who, if someone offered them to double their salary, wouldn't listen and give it serious consideration. 

    he's never given any indication of a great desire "to return home"

    and finally, the crows need to offer mfc something that reflects the value of what they have offered harry

    The Zorko situation was more than enough to convince me that this bloke is a special enough person and player that we should make him stay at least for next year. He is not just a piece of cattle and Adelaide must not think much of really any of their players if our Team is totally committed to top four next year and their end just wants to pick up a player that will, in my book upset the balance of their forward structure and their backline.

    We gave them pick 10 and future pick 10 for Lever. Turned it into Petty.

     

    Will take pick 10 and Pick 14 and received Lever for free. And if they don't want to pay we just keep Petty until RFA. We hold all the cards here.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
