Yep 2 serious foot injuries in one year

That is a concern. 

So you’re saying trade him now because he’s crippled and won’t play good footy again? You’re assuming Burgess and Adelaide are stupid and haven’t done their due diligence? 
He’ll play early next year. Bet on it.

No. I am weighing up all considerations. A big one is his injury history.
Right now he is at Top value, but he is also valuable to us…

Yes Burgess would know Harrison…

 

 

What on earth is going on here? 

We literally have a potential forward at 23 years of age at 197cm and we want to trade him?

I agree Kane makes a lot of sense, if Petty does actually want to leave. if he does want to leave the Dunkley comparison is a relevant one. 
 

Kane has some out there opinions but it doesn’t mean he’s always wrong. 
 

A lot of demonlanders are triggered by Kane and Morris. I don’t get it as not many of their claims are outright wrong. They’re just doing their jobs and we all click on the articles!

Agree wholeheartedly.

No one has ever mentioned that he won't be playing next year........

Pick 10 in this draft (which probably blows out to 13 by the pick) where we already have 6, 11.

Versus a pretty solid likely worse case for end of first round compo in 2 years time. 

And we have a CHF/CHB whilst in flag contention.

And I don’t have to cry watching Tom McDonald, Ben Brown, Schache or god knows who play CHF?

What are we doing here.

He is not at top value - as you just effing said - he has foot issues all year. 

Adelaide are not going so hard to recruit a crook player. They want him at his cheapest.

If he wants to go - he can go end of next year after playing 22 games and kicking 50 goals.

I would simply not trade what may be our best key forward in 2024

Couple of update questions:

 

2. How's Harry's hoof?

That is the real question.

Lisfranc is a horrible injury and Webber might care to elaborate, but if that is his injury and he has now injured his foot twice, it could be a real problem.

My understanding is that Lisfranc injuries can be career threatening.

He is a big guy and that makes it worse with more weight on the foot.

I wouldn't trade Petty, BUT. I would get 2 top foot specialists to effectively make the decision, is he ok or not.

If we did 10, Fogarty or Thilthorpe and McAdam is fair as is 10, 14 and McAdam and very late pick Lions for Gunston for a  year or two.

We get pick one, get a key forward and have a high pick left.

...which goes to my other 'update' question: what is Adelaide, not the media, actually saying?

except gunston is no longer a key forward

he's been in decline for a few years.  at brisbane, when he can get a game he gets the fourth best backman. at melbourne as the key forward, he gets an even tougher opponent

no, no, gunston's boat has sailed. more chance norf win the flag.

So we pass on Dunston and Duston, what about Gunston?

If Petty played at another club and entered the national draft at his age with his level of experience, we would take him with our first pick - he's a young physically mature key position forward AND back that has proven ability to play at a high level in the AFL.

There are likely KPP in the draft that could have better careers than him - but they are less bankable than he is at this point in time and they are not ready to hold down a key position post like he is.

The idea of getting pick 10 for him is ludicrous.

lol,  fixed, ta

Tim Lamb said this morning that Harrison will 100% be at Melbourne next year..... wonder how many more tweets we will see from Cornes and Theo Doropolous though

A Mill a year is not a cheap player, if the Croms are desperate for him, what can we squeeze out of them. 
I am playing cards…

OK, so let's keep this thread motoring along with this:

Tom McDonald's 2022 Lisfranc was assessed as 'low grade' (MFC - definitely). Harrison Petty's has been assessed as 'high grade' (MFC - apparently).

This is at least relevant to plans, either from within current playing stocks or via trade and/or draft/s, for coverage for Harry for period of time.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

I say this based only on a conversation about the seriousness of Fritta’s foot injury (different injury, I know) and the long-term treatment and all that goes with that - with a Fritta family member, he ended the conversation with, “… of course, it’s not nearly as serious as Harrison’s injury.”

 

I'm no mathematician, but I am pretty sure that Petty "100%" being with us next year leaves no additional % to argue the chances of a trade. Good. The debate for the trade was wild. 

Cornes, go home. 

I love the way people give definite injury statements, when they have absolutely no idea of the injury, or especially any medical training.

  • 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?
