Wasn't as bad as Mal Maninga's performance. So there's that. Let's just hope he kicks the right way when we play the Crows.

    How to do build a forward line with your number 1 target leaving at seasons end? Not ideal 

    You'd spend the year talking to Cadman, Ugle-Hagan, B King and/or Logan McDonald. All coming out of contract at around the time Petty would be assessing whether he wants to formally request a trade.

    Well if he plays a full season and kicks 60 odd goals he will just about be the hottest property in footy.  But Jeez he didn't put any speculation to bed did he?

    It wasn’t long ago that Lachie Neale was apparently very keen to get back to WA again until suddenly he wasn’t. Things change.

    Poor interview, but we can't trade him today as there's no obvious replacement.

    Another 12 months into Jefferson and the possibility of luring a Ben King or someone like that could open up the trade possibilities for him at the end of next year.

    Yep, that’s the play. Hopefully a flag in that period with him too.
     

    Sad it has unfolded like this. Tarnishes his premiership-hero status a touch for mine now.

    Neale and Papley kept their silence though and didn’t disrespect their clubs by given tv interviews on second last day of trade period while playing golf with players from team he’s trying to get too. 
    Same day Adelaide’s list manager is say Harry will be going back to Adelaide sooner or later. He may not have the balls to put in a trade request in case he has to stay but this is a very deliberate and disrespectful attempt by him, his manager and Adelaide to get him out of the club this window. 
    Losing him will hurt our flag chances next year we know that. So does Harry doesn’t seem to bother him too much. 
     

    Losing Clarry would have hurt our chances to but the club made a stand to uphold their cultural standards. 
    Having a player hanging around that goes public about not wanting  to be here shouldn’t meet our standards either.
     

    If the right deal comes in today- do the deal. He’s one foot in rehab and the other is already half out the door.

    Don't like it at all and I'd hate to think it was a ploy to get us to lower our asking price. If he doesn't want to be here then get an exit strategy together and get the best deal. A lot of Josh Dunkley about this.

    Frustrating to think we might be going through another year of contract speculation, but the fact is we need him for 2024 

    Thankfully he’s contracted until 2025, so if he still wants out in 12 months, we get everything we can for him out of Adelaide and go hard for King, JUH or McDonald

    Having said that a lot can happen in a year or two, so there’s every chance he changes his mind and commits long term (r-right? 😢)

    I understand the lure of home and if a club in your home state throwing some serious coin at you it is tempting, show a bit of respect to the club that was very proactive and strong in supporting you during the Zorko incident. Pretty ordinary performance Harry and I’m not talking about your golf.

    This is not homesickness.... this is a club throwing money around and then naturally the player seeing dollar signs.

    Adelaide probably won't have the same money next season, so hold him and see what happens.

    We can even hold him for 2025 and by that stage Port may also be interested if he genuienly wants to leave.

    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.

    Do they have any key defenders left? An injury to Tex and they could be bottom 4.

    O'Brien, Fogarty and Thilthorpe are all out of contract in 2025 like Petty. We can heavily target one of them now.

    Did he say he was contracted for 2 years? I thought only till 2024.

    Thanks Jaded.

    That probably changes it perspective. I’ve been all in on keeping him, think he is a star, but worried about his durability. I thought if it’s a year to run, then maybe trade him as he appears to be going at some stage. 
    With 2 years, let’s hope he plays out of his skin next year, wins us a flag, then i would cash in!!

    Perhaps Ch.9 was after a 4-putt double bogey and Ch.7 was after closing with a nett 43 points?

    Seriously, though, Harry's own words, his voice, and his body language in both is there for all to see and judge how they will. Several rungs of clarity above media speculation.

    The response of our other players will be interesting. It's now such an 'open' thing (as opposed to Jackson's secretiveness), I suspect the 'locker room' will be into it in a big way, hopefully geeing Harry up in a positive way.

    I'm taking DJing duties on from now on.  My first track I want to dedicate to Reid, the list manager at Adelaide Crows:

     

    I see what you're doing there, Katrina, but Harry Wayne Casey (I looked it up!) was urging the subject, who everybody wanted, to 'give it up', to him?

    Don't encourage Reid! 😄

    Well, not that one anyway, #number1pick.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
