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 going to get ugly. 

 

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.

Nope 2025

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
