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. 

Nope. Plenty can change in a year, and even more can change in two years.

    Didn’t sound too convincing.

    If Petty is considering…….

    Get 2 top tens picks, or 1 and Fogerty/Thilthorpe.

    They virtually got that for Lever.

    And ask Taylor Walker for his opinion if it goes through 😝

    Think Melb have their work cut out if they want him to be a long-term player and sign an extension. Would make a lot of sense to try and maximise our returns now and give us a chance at Reid. Trouble is we badly need Petty, as we saw last year.

    It's pretty clear that his family is important to him. I think he'll be professional about it in terms of playing, but in the longer term it seems pretty clear that Adelaide (city) is where his heart is.

    @binman - i think you'll find that jonno brown was 100% regarded as the best player in his draft

    the bears got him as a father-son gift cos his dad played 51 games with fitzroy; i believe it was part of the reason it was extended to 100 games from 50

    Not really, we still hold the cards next year and I’m not convinced that what Adelaide can offer would get us near Reid.

    I was just thinking tonight that I was going to miss the Freo death ride, maybe we have another one for 2024!

    His Sister lives in Adelaide, but his parents are a 6 hour plus drive, nonetheless, there's obviously a strong lure to Adelaide.

    But I wouldn't cave, because he can help us win a flag next year.  And a lot can change in 12 months.

    I don't buy into the narrative that his head won't be in the game in 2024.  Pride of performance and the right environment ensures that.

    As for Harley Reid ?  I think we're still a real chance with the hand we hold.  There are growing views that Curtin will be available at pick 6.  North love McKercher and are also said to be keen on Duursma and I think they're the most likely to take Curtin.

    If WC are convinced Curtin will be available at pick 6, and if they rate him close to Reid as a potential pick 1, they may well be prepared to trade pick one to get another WA player like Hardeman (or whoever) with pick 11 (plus our F1).

    If they keep pick one their next pick will be close to 30.  As good as Reid is they'll worry about the flight risk and one gun kid isn't a lot for finishing last.

    Worst case we pick Curtin with 6 (or maybe Sanders), as he looks like he's going to be a gun.

    If Harry wants to go home, is he going to be 100% committed?

    We saw Luke Jackson taper off, I don’t want that situation again.

    He wants to go home


    But yes it also depends what Adelaide are prepared to offer

    Adelaide aren't going to be in a better position draft wise this time next year.

    They will most likely play finals which means their first round pick drops down to the mid teens and may be used on their future father son in Welsh who looks like a bona fide early first round pick.

    That seems like he was pretty down about sticking at the Dees and it wasn’t his call. 
    He is a great player but we should absolutely trade him now if he doesn’t want to be here. We will have an entire year of speculation if we don’t trade him, we have seen how speculation can derail a season with Dogga. 
    Get 10 and 14 for him.

    A very disappointing interview and demeanor 

    All these grown man being home sick is truly mind boggling. 
     

    Anyways we are right in the frame to win a flag next year so stay put, play well, win us a flag then we can chat again.

    %#£€ ! 
     

    Planets just had to align, game of golf, nine news there. How convenient. Crows trying to squeeze much!? 
     

    Evident he wants to return to Adelaide.

    As he stated, the decision has been made (tow the company line), Happy to play at Melbourne next year. 
     

    Definitely will get tongues wagging again tomorrow before deadline. But I expect nothing to change tomorrow. Because… “the decision has been made”

     

    It won’t stop the Crows from a last ditch bid.

    Agree with all this.

    I reckon we're gonna get Reid. Bookmark is out and ready.

    Yes, dazzle, another lesson on Media 'truth'. A little editing tweak here and there can create a different perspective altogether!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
