What evidence do you have that Petty isn’t happy to stay and play for Melbourne? 

Channel 7 Adelaide, Kane Cornes and John Ralph.

The sad part is that these clowns will be running the same story next year, like the WA media with Jackson and will annoy the [censored] out of us.

I think we all know that when you strip away all of the [censored] and the red and blue glasses are taken off of our faces, it’s pretty clear that Petty is going to end up at Adelaide this trade period.

What a shame - I really don’t want to see him go

But…

There’s too much noise - simple.

Yeah, i tend to agree to be honest, I don't think this one is over. 

if he does go i wouldn't sign off on less than 10, 14 and McAdam. if we're losing Petty lets at least make sure we get Harley Reid out of it 

6,10,11 should get the deal done you'd imagine

To me it all just seems a little too contrived. 
 

I hope I’m wrong and @Dannyz is right.

If we can get the necessary picks to satisfy WCE for pick 1, reckon we trade him

Had a feeling this would be the case. Not a good sign if we are having breakfast with the enemy.

I just can't see us trading a young key position player without an adequate replacement.

Petty out means a backline of May, Lever and Tomlinson and a fwd line of JvR and hope that Brown or McDonald don't fall apart. Maybe fullarton.

We kiss any chance of a premiership success goodbye imo, he is that important.

We're only taking two picks to the draft anyway and I'm not sure pick 10 helps us get Reid.

Just because Adelaide want him doesn't mean we should bow to their wishes and shoot ourselves in the foot in the process.

I love Petty to bits, i want him to stay as do all us Demons, but I reckon Petty knows deep down he's one injury away from screwing his future up here.

Was the deal 5 years, 1m the first year then 800k the next four?

Will this offer be there for him in 1-2 years time? I don't reckon it will be. He's stated he wants to come back to Adelaide.

Im looking at this from a different lens here, I believe his Partner is from Adelaide? also if they want to start a family in the next 3-4 years his partners parents are going to be helping out part of the time would he get that help in Melbourne with no family? No way.

He is very injury prone, he was injured twice this year playing as a Forward, a significant history with injuries.

If he gets injured again his value will significantly drop from a draft point of view, if he's going to leave next year we won't see this deal again

If this offer from the Crows is Thilthorpe or Fogarty, Pick 10 and McAdam for Petty if it eventuates take it and run i say.

I'd even squeeze them for pick 14 aswell and throw in Neal Bullen or Chandler.

Problem is they won't give up either of those players. Both are from Adelaide and both are contracted. This is a massive free-kick to Adelaide if we let him walk.

Plus their original offer was pick 14 which was our pick. I don't even think we can legally receive that back. But if we can, they bought that from the Gold Coast Suns for two mid 20s picks. Petty is worth more than that. Particularly to us with limited key position depth.

I would only except on those terms.

If they want him that much they will come to the party.

We have tried for Fogarty before.

If we do this we will get Reid, plus a Forward Fogarty and McAdam.

That's a different conversation that I would probably be willing to accept.

I think this is the reason it hasn't been put to bed yet, we are seriously still contemplating this.

Petty is 23, is already at elite level at either end of the field and has his best years ahead of him. I know his current lisfranc problem is worrying but every AFL player runs the ever-present risk of injury. I am sure the club will be doing its best to tie him to a long-term contract by the end of next season. And if he has an outstanding season in 2024 he can stay with us and still demand the big bucks. Like any other outsider, I have no inside knowledge of his personal thoughts but I really hope he decides to become a one-club player. We missed him badly in the finals.

They only drink Barry’s tea in Munster, McKenna being from Ulster I’d hazard a guess would be a Lyons Tea man

I stand corrected, Pennant St! I lived in Leinster for a bit but being a coffee drinker didn't take much notice.

If we lost Petty for picks and are playing Fullarton every game it’s rebuild time

mini rebuild. 4-5 top quality draft picks over two years then bang. or whimper. i dunno

No way do the deal for picks alone... must get a forward...

Fogarty and whatever picks give us pick 1 all tied up in the same deal..

So Crows get Petty

Dee's get Fogarty, Reid 

WCE get pick 6, 10,11

I agree with you here. I think there's a bit to play out with this.

There is enough smoke out there to suggest that Petty has strongly considered returning home.

If he doesn’t come out and ask for a trade then he’s clearly very comfortable and committed to stay. 

You don't need to be unhappy in wanting to go nor do you need to officially request a trade, Grundy never formally requested a trade from either Collingwood or Melbourne. Probably just simply wants to be closer to home which is a not an issue imo.

The fact that it still had to take Simon Goodwin to actually sit down with him and convince him otherwise suggest he's has had serious considerations.

WC: ..... Darling?

 

Would you be tempted by 10, Adelaide F1 and McAdam for Petty.

Then 6, 10, 11 to WC for Reid and Darling.

I think this works from the club’s perspective as well as Harrison’s. They might never get this currency for Petts again.

For all the same reasons listed, it makes sense for both parties

I'd be very suprised if the offer was anything more than 10 + 20 + McAdam, which I don't think we accept. If fogarty or THRILLTHORPE are involved then you have to look at it, but I would be shocked if this is the case. That sort of trade just doesn't really happen. While we know how good Petty is, we are also likely undervaluing the potential of someone like thilthorpe in the same way other clubs and non-dees following media figures undervalue Petty.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
