So many people [censored] the bed.

Each to their own, but I don't like [censored] in my bed.

    The interview was fine. He received a big money offer which turned his head. We've told him he's not going so that's that. He'll settle down again and be fine.

    But if he does end up going in a year or two we should trade him to Port. [censored] the Crows.

    Decision has been made, he won’t be traded, he’ll stay as he said in the 7 interview. 
    And if West Coast play it smart they’ll split their pick one. I just hope it’s with us.

    We've probably also told him that if he bides his time, there will be a big or bigger money offer deal comming from us too.

    Honestly disgraceful interview. The channel 7 one is all he should have said. 

    Why should we invest any more in his development, his rehab, his leadership, his knowledge of the game when he has told us he'll be out the door and it's just a matter of time?

    Many of us get the realities but the club's and players owe a duty to their extremely loyal and long suffering fans to not let dialogue like that into the open air. 

    If you're to say that, just request the trade and be done with it.

    Ch.9's claimed as 'Exclusive', so Ch.7's done after?

    Conspiracy theory: Club got in his ear between the two? 😉

    1 hour ago, whatwhat say what said:

    @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

    Well we got a steal with JVR then given he compares favourably with Brown at the same age!

    Gone from being 100% sure he's staying next season to 99% sure. Will be glad to see him a Dees player at the end of the Trade Period tomorrow night.

    “The decision has kind of been made now by Melbourne, which I’m totally fine with, I’m happy I’m on an AFL list still,” Petty told Nine Adelaide.

    “I suppose at some stage I’d be open to a move back (home)… it is tough at times but my family are lucky enough, they can come over and see me a bit there. It is tough at times though.”

    Probably would’ve been easier just not saying anything Harry.

    Sounds like a bloke who doesn’t know how to handle a door stop question.

    Not worried. He stays.

    Oh and are we amputating his foot yet? @SthSea22 weren’t you one of the handwringers?

    I just watched the interview on 7News Adelaide and I have to say, without having read the pages before this one, I am annoyed by his tone and believe we should have cashed in. He is gone at the end of next year I believe. He spoke about ‘Melbourne’ the club, as if it was some 3rd party organisation he associates with occasionally. No use of inclusive language. I thought it was really poor. My concern is he spends the year distracted by contract talk, much like Jackson in 2022, and his value falls. I think it’s a foregone conclusion that he leaves. It was as if it was a chore that he had to play for us next year. That’s my take

    Yeah, that interview was no good. Really poor that he was able to say that stuff (not prepared by manager/the club, or just not aware of how bad that sounds).

    I’ll put it in the basket of “player not good at media says something dumb” but can understand why some others might be pessimistic about his future intentions.

    Playing golf with Adelaide players a day before trade period ends when you've been talked about as being a trade target by Adelaide all trade period is just a bad look and more than ill timed.

    Whether he got nervous and stuffed up his words or not, the optics stinks and he owes his teammates an explanation, because he ain’t going anywhere this year. 
     

    Incredibly disappointing to have this [censored] going on after the Oliver debacle too.

    people also forget that jonno brown went into a forward line that already had lynch, bradshaw, pike, hart, power, mcrae, headland moving in and out from midfield... it was a helluva side

    [censored] him off. Been at our club for half a decade. Premiership player. Yet talks like we're some day job he begrudgingly puts up with. Don't give me the "not media savvy" [censored] either - he's been in the system for 5 years already - he's not some green draftee. As if he's not aware that playing golf with players from the team trying to poach him during that very trade period on a badly injured foot is provocative and a shocking look.

    Let him go. Cash up now while we can. He’ll spend the rest of his career perennially injured anyway by the looks of it. His media expose today was pathetic and disrespectful to the club and fans. Hope the club calls him out on it and he avoids tearing up.

    Only one way he can repair this. Sign a new contract extension. Otherwise I doubt the players will have a lot of faith in him and he may not get many leads honoured.

    He’s contracted to the end of 2025.  If he still feels this way the end of next year, we can look to arrange a trade to gets the best results for us whilst he’s still under contract.

    For 2024, we need him to have any chance of a flag.

    He and the Coach said he was staying two days ago i think.
    They would have booked into that hole of a course and a lot of blokes would have known, hence the maggot media, just take it easy everyone.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
