Petty no doubt has massive intrigue of moving back to SA and playing with his childhood team

Add the fact Adelaide went hard to lure him back would have given him butterfly's 

He will be a Crow come 2025

Jackson put his cue in the rack for season 22 very early on. Despite his total lack of enthusiasm and energy he was selected for most games. If he'd played like he should have and how he played in his first season for Fremantle we may have progressed further in the finals than what we did.

I hope they don't reward Petty with games next year. The writings on the wall. In my view he should rent a house out in Cranbourne to save on his travel expenses. Perhaps the Crows can buy him one in Berwick.

Punishing Petty for Jackson's attitude. Mm-hmm.

Cornes said yesterday Petty is 'desperate' to return home. How would he know and what does desperate mean?

Desperate to do what? ffs

I dont get any of this. Is there someone on this forum close to MFC who knows whats really going on.

If the rumours are true and hes gone then stop recruiting interstate players unless were 100% sure they wont take flight. May and Lever were not interstate players . Lever is from Vic and May has a history in Melbourne.

Probably be better to not take any notice of what Cornes is saying.

Good grief! I forecast months of cringeworthy Cornes substituting Petty for Kozzie in his next made-up story.

Spot on with this comparison.

I think I’m in the minority of people who doesn’t mind listening to Kane Cornes. But you have to do it through the lens of him being a ‘conversation starter’.  He is paid to dial things up and get a reaction.

Petty is open to a return to Adelaide.  That’s fine, so would I for 900k.  He is contracted to Melbourne and we have so far had no right of reply in regards to a contract renewal.  Let this play out.

Pickett never went public with his want to return “home”. Nor did Ports list manager. The deal offered to Pickett never became public knowledge neither did what Port offered. 
Kossie didn’t go playing golf and giving interviews with Ports players during trade week. 
Cornes is a tool but the two situations are very different.

If it hasn't been said already, Corn was saying this exact thing with Kozzie, slightly different circumstances but look at what happened there.

The guy is full of manure.

Absolute garbage. I know for a fact this is not the case. He is more than happy in Melbourne.

Adelaide were absolutely desperate to get him, that's the extent of it....for now.

He's not desperate to move home. If he was, he would of requested a trade and pushed harder for it.

I've said it quite a few times - He listened to their offer, his head was turned by an extra 200K per season, he spoke to Goody & Lamb who said his commitment was required for 2024 in any circumstance. He loves his teammates and he's a good club man. He was happy to return. 

We know we have a job on our hands to keep him. He's been told if he can have a break out season as a forward, he will probably become a $1M per season player for the MFC.

i'd personally want to see two years of forward dominance to justify that sort of $$s

reckon it's well within his capability, injury allowing

The grass is not always greener on the other side with anything in life.

If we match the offer or on par with our other top earners and he stays and our players keep themselves out of the headlines.

I don't like being patronised Goffy. I'm entitled to my opinion and I didn't appreciate your dismissive comment. I was steaming last year about Jackson. Everyone knew he was leaving yet we continued to play him when he was playing single digit games. The club was at fault not Jackson. I don't want this to happen again.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
