Cornes compared the Dunkley situation to Petty. There's a few differences that don't make it totally comparable -

- Dunkley was in the last year of his contract; Petty has two years left

- Dunkley was 25, Petty is 23 - Dunkley being more at the peak of his career than Petty is

- Petty is more important to Melbourne (as a potential key forward) than Dunkley was to the Bulldogs (who have numerous midfielders)

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

    Kane Cornes?

    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.

    Smoke indicating a fire is burning, or the smell of smoke still lingering after the fire has been extinguished?

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

     

    Need to have a forward coming back our way, they can't have their cake and eat it too.

    My guess is they'll up their offer to pick 10 from pick 14, and we will tell them to take a hike

    How is this an opportunity of a lifetime? All Crows have offered so far is pick 14 and a player who doesn’t wanna be there. 
    Offer us a replacement forward and pick 10 then we can think about this so called opportunity of a lifetime.

    Corn thinks it is a good idea..... haha yep we'll just give up a need becuase Corn says so....

    This trade shouldn't go ahead unless we get two top end picks. Guy is 22 and KPF. If he walks in 2 years so be it, but pay up or shove off.

    kornes is just about generating content

    connors was right in his assessment a month or so ago; there's little movement this year as a) clubs are reasonably happy with where their list builds are at, and 2) the cba uncertainty has stymied movement

    Maybe I'm the only one that can actually see where Cornes is coming from?

    All he's saying is that that now would be the perfect opportunity to cash in with the Crows instead of end of 2025 when they will be deep in finals contention and not have the luxury of having the early first round picks as they do now.

    At the end of the day it only works if Petty advises Melbourne that he wants to go home and the Dees think that the Crows early picks are a suitable trade. That hasn't happened and the club has stated that Petty won't be traded, so all good.

    It's amazing how some just see the name Kane Cornes and get triggered so easily.. 😅

    What about Port Adelaide who are in dire need of a backline rebuild? 

    Perhaps he doesn’t want to bring the focus onto the club where ine of their players  in Butters is a Victorian. 
     

    Right now I’d do Pick 11 + Petty for Butters.

    Petty has two years to run on his contract and has not said he wants to leave.

    If we do this trade we are essentially saying we don't think we can win the flag anymore, that is how important Petty is to our team structure.

    Our key position depth is already weak, moving him on would be disastrous for that.

    i understand where kornes is saying that 'his value will never be higher'

    but he's only looking at it from a trade perspective not from a team structure perspective

    he's so blinded by the need for MOAR CONTENT that he's missing the bigger picture, which is that with petty we're closer to a premiership than without him in our best 23

    That's pretty complicated then it looks

    Port have the right to potentially ask for more. I mean Butters is a genuine superstar in my opinion and I'd absolutely love him. I'd happily do that deal but I think Port would want more.

    Well yeah.. that's why I said he hasn't stated to the footy club that he wants to leave....

    Pretty well said, sometimes Cornes just says somethings at times for the sake of it but he is right here if a deal is in Melbournes favour then yes if not no it's pretty simple.

    Couple of update questions:

    1. What is Adelaide Football Club itself - not any media speculators or opinionators - currently saying?

    2. How's Harry's hoof?

    But the deal is NOT in Melbourne’s favour that’s the point

    We can’t win a flag next year without Petty unless we replace him with another ready made forward. So why then would we do this deal when Petty has not asked for a trade and has two years left on his contract?

    Every chance he’s worth more next year and we don’t have a top 6 pick in hand.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
