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.

    • 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?

      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.
