I baked myself a humble pie after looking at my preseason posting, happy to bake another for a few of you who dismissed Petty. I make it with lemons, nice and sour.

I choose to believe you were the reverse jinx we needed

    Everyone is talking about humble pie but I'm sure it was the my game night lazy pancake dinner that did the trick.

    Humble pancakes are what you eat when you never said Petty was a bust or anything like that, just that you thought he was more valuable and effective as a defender and it wasn't worth persisting with the forward experiment.

    Just waiting for the re-signing interview to drop now where Petts says he never seriously considered leaving.

    Massive massive win for us and a vote for our culture if he stays. Fingers crossed. I think he can be a real weapon up forward and is a rarely talented swingman. He will want a decent contract and I reckon deserves it.

    It’s a very dicey one. For me, prior to his injury, I’d have no hesitation. But with it, you just get some uncertainty with the longer term impacts of his injury. Trust the club to do the right thing here….

    Bit confused by this.

    The first tweet seems to suggest Adelaide have gone cold. The second seems to suggest Petty no longer wants to go.

    No it doesn’t. If the Crows didn’t get the answer they were hoping for, then it sounds like Petty’s manager called to say Petty is no longer interested in going to Adelaide.

    The "they" in the first tweet is Adelaide.

    I think there is a stark difference to H and Jackson in the same situation. Jacko didn't play well and looked glum. He knew that he was going home. I think if Petty had continued to not reach the standards he wanted he would go home. He looked so relaxed and enjoying being part of that experience on Saturday night I wouldn't be surprised that the contract is signed fairly soon. I also believe that he is a down to earth no bulldish kind of person and once he has made up his mind he will sign.

    I think we’re all still guessing. I’m in the happy if he stays and happy if we get a top 10 and a top 20 pick for him. The biggest advantage of him staying besides his obvious talent is every time an in doubt player signs it builds something intangible within the club and supporter base. It says to the football world “Why on earth would I leave this awesome club” 

    For me, had I been good enough, all the money in the world wouldn’t have me leaving the Demons. 
    P.S I was so bad at football I umpired 🤦‍♂️

    When has he asked to be traded before? My understanding is that the noise is more to do with media hype and AFC playing games

    It wasn’t that long ago that Pickett was definitely going 

    I’m not sure why he would want to leave a club that is a genuine chance of a cup vs a club that for the foreseeable future will be simply making up the numbers imo 

    He definitely asked us to facilitate a move. We’d just struck out on one of our targeted players from Carlton and were not ready for a trade request from a player that we thought was not a flight risk. 
    He made a mess of the situation by allowing the Crows to setup that awkward golf course interview. 
    We held firm. As we should’ve. We can’t win a flag this year with him not on the list. No matter which end he plays at.

    Jackson and Kozi were in different situations. Jackson was gone 12 months out. His story about making his mind up at the end of 2022 is complete garbage.

    Kozi on the other hand was never keen to leave Melbourne and maintained communications and negotiations the whole time. I never thought he was leaving.

    It’s poorly worded I reckon. Michelangelo Rocci loves to stick the boots into the Crows. He probably heard this and choked on his cornflakes in laughter.

    So given your intel, do you believe Petty is still on the way out or not?

    Your post in recent days implied it was a fait accompli. Just goes to show even those who acclaim to have knowledge don’t actually have that (full) knowledge.. The club doesn’t leak like it once did.

    It is hard to think of a better one.

    And just looking at the Frittata sealer, how much was that due to Petty's incredible closing and carefully judged spoil?  Not recorded as a goal assist but it certainly was.

    Probably Harrison's best game - even despite his 6 goal haul v Tigers last year.   His work up the ground was impressive and vital.  

    Now if that is not recorded as a Goal assist to Tracc, the entire system is wrong

    great news

    He was an absolute champion in the making.

    Yep, Thompson was just emerging as one of the best in the Red 'n Blue - by hell, he could play...

    I have no idea. Rucci is pretty good with this sort of stuff so I am surprised. 


    Further investigation and beer bribery is required.

    I think @Dee Boys might have it - I totally read the "they" as being Petty's camp but if it was Adelaide instead, they both make sense.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
