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

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.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
