He’s contracted in 25. They have to pay up for a mid range tall

Didn’t realise he was contracted, thought this was his final. My bad. We’ll take Rankine and 6 first rounders pls.

    He is contracted next year isn’t he ?  
     

    Then they will need to come up with some very very good draft picks - not sure how that happens 

    Correct, we have him under contract for 2025.

    Our preference would obviously be to retain him beyond that, however if he tells he wants a trade and will walk regardless in 2025, and crows stink it up this year and end up with a top 5 pick, do we bite the bullet for max value?

    We should hit the chardonay set with a mid-season counter trade offer...

    Tex for Schache

    If he wants to go, extract maximum payment and move on. He ain’t the answer.

    Another negative post from afar. Do you ever really see the real footy news. Just  like bleating from the bleaches your comments. 

    What rubbish do you read in your part world?? Last centuries fish and chip wrappings?  

    Totally  wrong Harry is a fine young KP player albeit injury prone. Watch our forward line transform when he gets back in next week. 

    We cannot afford to lose Harry unless we get  2 first round draft picks in the higher range.

    If Petty goes we absolutely have to recruit a decent key forward. Most likely Brown and T. Mac retire, Schache not reliable unfortunately, Jefferson young but question marks on his physicality. 

    our Key position forward talent is wafer thin already let alone with Petty leaving. 

    Not sure who we can poach, but if we only seek draft picks as compensation for Petty we must thinking rebuild.

    Half time reporters tonight stating the Crows confident he'll be in their colours next year.

    While not giving up hope on retaining him, I might just have to add them to the 2.0 deathride.

    I find it interesting that the accepted narrative in footy journalism is to speculate about player moves before most teams have even started the year. We’ve had Oliver, Petty, JUH amongst others. I thought it was ‘not done’ to speak about other teams’ contracted players? In public at least?

    This industry is becoming a deeper and darker cesspool, with the journalists lying on their backs at the bottom, feeding on it all.

    I suggest we leave this speculative conversation until we see how he returns from injury and whether he can return to his brief but good form

    That moment has passed.

    Maximum trade value was last yr when he was still in contract. Mid-ish first rounder is what the offer will be otherwise they’ll threaten to take him to pre-season draft where everyone will baulk at his heavily front-ended deal and desire to be back home.

    Goodwin gambled on him being a critical piece in a premiership tilt this year. I don’t blame Goodwin, but it isn’t looking great for us at the moment.

    He is still contracted until the end of 2025. We still hold the cards but if we don't trade him this year he becomes a R(?)FA at the end of next year.

    I can't see how we don't hold Petty to his contract for 2025 unless we have a proven and experienced key forward to replace him. The club owes it to itself and its members to look after its backyard first and foremost (which they didn't do with the Grundy trade)

    We should tell Adelaide that if a forward hasn't agreed to come to us before or during trade week this year, then we're not trading him.

    The only negative thing regards to Petty is the fact he seems to want out. He’s not the messiah. I’ll take good picks and or a player and happily move on. I don’t see him as the answer.

    I think they are still mad about Lever.

    Didn't we give 2 first round picks for lever and also ended up with Pick 35 - which funnily enough we recruited Petty?

    If he goes, then we will be well compensated.. Funny that Petty has become Wayne Carey after a couple games forward. the reliance and expectations on him to be the saviour up forward is laughable. I hope he is, but the sample size is tiny. 

    Get a couple first rounders for him, turn him into a genuine fwd.

    The key to all this is if Brayshaw's money is outside of the cap, if it is we are in a very strong position to retain Harry.

    Petty's management have played this perfectly over the summer, if we offer similar terms to the Crows i reckon he will stay.

    This all depends on Petty performing this year and body staying sound.

    Always gets injured when playing as a forward, sign of a fragile body

    What do people expect we're not talking about a tiddlywinks tournament. Aussie rules is a contact sport and can be quite brutal at times. Harrison's serious foot injury was a result of a 100kg defender's awkwardness, loss of balance or lack of care? Falling impactfully on his lower limbs.

    Theo should add 'kick' to his moniker but then a well executed dropkick was a thing of beauty to behold.

    Worth noting that;

    - half time reporter was Theodore Doropolous 

    - Theo has just scored the job of his lifetime with ch7 in Melbourne

    - Theo is from Adelaide

    - if I were Theo I’d be leveraging my network back home to score early points in my new plush gig 

    - Theo has 6 O’s n his name. Can’t be trusted.

    Theo is actually from Perth and moved to Adelaide for work opportunities

    Most players peak at 26-29 so his best years are still ahead of him.

    KPFs are extremely hard to find. They don't often become available and usually you have to draft them and wait years with a slim chance they develop into above-average KPF.

    With all of this in mind, we need to fight like hell to keep him. If we can't, the minimum price is two first-round picks. Or Rachele is a Victorian - we'll take him plus a first rounder.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
