Would be great to see him extend his contract with us.

Melbourne to Adelaide - 725.8kms

158.8kms the difference. No real practical difference as that's long trip either way... Would he feel more 'at home' in any case? See attached pic of the long long grass of Wuddina. Adelaide is just as different as Melbourne in that regard.

[dees4lyf 19]

I think we have to be really smart and clinical with the petty contract. With Tassie coming in and potentially West coast getting assistance, drafpt picks are a premium.. if the offer is too good, then it may set us up for a good tilt at top end talent.

Big decisions to think about. Of Course if Harry really wants to stay and his form is good enough then we keep him.

The club are resigned to the fact now we will likely lose him at year’s end. 
I was originally of the understanding he was more than happy here, but they held him to his contract for this year given how important he is to our side.

Whether it be the money or not, he is apparently “desperate to get back to SA”.

Crows selling the farm for Petty while they have an average midfield would be crazy stuff

Agree. Also whilst, IMO Petty is a good player he is not great and worth the farm just yet. Suss to injuries and it's better to have players that want to play for you than not and wanting to go home. If he goes and the Crows give us the farm then so be it and we go and top up where required, like a ruck, key forward and maybe a key back to cover May & Lever. It is what it is and let's all hope he helps to bring us a flag this year.

I don’t imagine that there is much long grass at WoopWoop West via Ceduna where I believe he hails from. Maybe a bit of stunted brown grass and spinafex.

It looks like Jeffo ahead of Petty and if so, he looks taller than Petty. In another few photos of them, I thought the same thing.

Petty is listed as 197 cms. So if Jeffo is taller, he has grown since being drafted and will be a big unit.

I think he will become another key forward with us, hopefully playing alongside JVR and Fritta for several years.

I think reading between the lines the farm is being offered to Petty not the MFC 

This could be similar or worse than the LJ fiasco - the compensation in that case was well under market imo and as time moves on it looks even worse. Players that can have a significant impact on the outcome of individual games are as rare as hens teeth - LJ is unquestionably in that category now and will become more valuable in time. For us Petty is close to that because he is our most versatile tall (the main question mark on him would be capacity to stay on the park consistently) 

I’m still hopeful he decides to stick with us but if he is determined to leave get ready for us to to very disappointed with the compensation

Looks more like BBB to me 

Even if it was Jefferson he looks light years away from being a KF at VFL much less AFL level imo

i think the deal for dog was the best 'value' ever, wasn't it? two first rounds and a second round pick for dog, a third round, and a fourth round pick...neither of which got used

lol we would be clear premiership favourites with LJ in the team atm - as a forward he would be very very handy and as a ruck he would be very very handy 

We are one Max Gawn injury away from being in deep p00p

He wanted to leave though and was out of contract so we did the best we could.

No point whinging about a player who didn't want to be here, when the majority do.

Agreed about Gawn injury, but most teams are the same (dockers probably the only ones who can cover their number one ruck).

If English goes down Dogs have to ruck either Darcy or Lobb full time. If Marshall goes down the Saints have Tom Campbell. If Soldo goes down the Power have Jordon Sweet and so on and so on. There aren't many good ruckman around and there are hardly any AFL standard rucks in the VFL.

Think we'll only get 1 x first, or a player trade

Isn't Petts OOC at the end of the year?
