Substitute 'Oliver' for 'Petty' in that statement, how convinced would we be?

Personally, I don't think he goes (nor does Clayton), but just sayin'...

Is Clarry a forward 🧐😂😳?

I’m not convinced

Win another flag (or two) with us under the current contract, then he can go if he wants.

This highlights a need to draft a defender this year. May will decline, Tomlinson is nearly done, Turner is still unknown and Petty ideally plays forward, with the possibility of leaving. Not much to fill defensive post in 2-3 years time.

I presume you are the age of your name and like me I am 75 ( 65 year supporter from 1958) and we at our age start to forget things, and you have forgotten Jed Adams from WA in last years draft was secured for that very reason. 

He might be a season away at least as he is bulking up this year and gaining experience, snd Disco Turner needs game time from Round 1 on the back line . 

We are reasonably  served with both Joel Smith and Tmac who can play on talls as depth. 

IMO we need another KP forward/2nd ruckman this year far more than a defender. Of course Fullarton may well fill this gap as the session progresses.

I have spoken to my contact at the club. 

Petty and his management met with Adelaide around 3 weeks ago. 

They put together a presentation based around him returning to defence. 

Petty ultimately said no. 

The dust settled. 

Adelaide have come back with an increased offer after Doedee's decision and Petts manager has told them he won't be leaving Melbourne this trade period. 

We definitely have our work cut out for his long term commitment.

If he is meeting with them whilst contracted do you get the feeling once it’s up he’ll leave?

Maybe a Coleman medal would convince Harrison to stay 🤔?

Fully fit he is certainly capable of this feat.

Stay Harry - win  another flag, a Coleman and maybe even a Normie.

Petty will be an FA at end of 2025 so can walk to a club of his choice and we would get a comp pick in the mid to high teens (assuming the comp pick is deemed to be first round).

If he goes next year we can negotiate a better deal with Adelaide.

Wouldn't want to lose him but if he helps us win a flag or two before he goes then so be it.

Comments by Luke Dunstan in a SEN interview today.

“Petty's got a pretty serious foot operation that he had, who knows whether he'll be back and fit and firing.”

Maybe there is a concern of his long term future from a physical point of view.

I do get the sense that will be the case. 

However, he will be at Melbourne in 2024.

i'd do that deal, as much as i rate Harry Petty, always risks coming back from the injury he's got and he did have a few injuries this year, that's a BIG return

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. 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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    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.
