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

The pain of Scotty Thompson gone missing?

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 can't find the date on this - is it April 1st?  He will be 35 next year and now injury prone.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
