The long long grass of home. 

Melbourne to Adelaide - 725.8kms

Wuddina to Adelaide - 567kms

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.

    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.

    That's Brown (#50), not Jeffo (#21)

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

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

    • 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 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.
