Well Kane, seeing as you have JVR as one player ready to explode next year I'm thinking yes.

Strong desire..... he never even requested a trade?

Maybe when he retires 🤔

It is a complete no no for opposition list managers to state a player wants to leave a club. Even if they throw in "at some stage". Reid has no right to comment on an opposition player's 'desire' in this manner.

Demons will rightly be livid with this.

Melbourne are now in the hunt for Adelaide stars* Darcy Fogarty and Mitch Hinge after Harrison Petty points out to them that the golf courses are MUCH better in Melbourne.

* translation - anyone who has ever pulled on a boot.

In the last 6 quarters Petty and van Rooyen played togather Melbourne scored 182 points and the two combined for 14 goals.

It's a small sample size, but encouraging nonetheless.  When they were mising as a pairing for the last 20 quarters of the season the team's score was a little more than half as good per quarter.

How many contested marks and marks inside 50? 🤔 guessing those stat would be very high

Is Petty’s head going to be in the game next year? Or will we be looking at a similar season to Luke Jackson’s in 2022? Judging by the 9news Adelaide interview that’s just come out, this guy is really keen to be back home. Not encouraging at all

Yeah did not sound convincing one bit. Definitely wants to get back home by the sounds of it.

Human side of me says we should just respect his wishes and just cash in now while we can.

I am coming round to this exactly. It will probably met us Harley Reid. Petty has mentally checked out by the sounds of that interview

Yeah really seemed excited for the next 2 years at the Dee's . 🤦. 

I believe his words where. The decision was made by Melbourne ( I took from it he may have been open to the trade) I'm happy to be on an AFL list, love MFC. Got 2 year contract. Open to being back  in Adelaide at some stage 😱

Fog and Petty went to school together and played state football as well. 

Only made the 3rd top story on Channel Nine news, Welcome to life in Adelaide.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone says, that gets quoted back to them after Jake and Harry carve up every defence in the comp. Providing they can stay fit, I think they could be a fantastic combination: both young, aggressive players who like a tackle, can mark and kick well. 

I've definitely changed my mind set after this interview. I'm no longer counting on Petty being our long-term answer to our key forward needs. I am confident we can cover him as a key back... Turner, Tomlinson, Adams. I'm now on the 'get us another gun key forward' bandwagon!

From the Channel 9 interview, if nothing changes in Harry’s mind between now and 12 months from now, he’s gone

Yes and we won’t be able to get Harley Reid next year…

Tomorrow we should think very carefully. 
if Petty has checked out, we should Cash in. 
it depends what The Croms are prepared to cough up.
