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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
