Personally, I don't think he goes (nor does Clayton), but just sayin'... Is Clarry a forward 🧐😂😳? I’m not convinced 1 Quote

Yossarian 1,820 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Anyone got any more whatsapp chats to let loose so we can get Tom Morris out of my news feed? 2 Quote
seventyfour 1,303 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 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. Quote

Diamond_Jim 12,832 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 The problem with Petty as a forward is price. He'll probably command a 30% premium as a forward over what he would be worth down back. Hopefully they lock up a contract extension earlier rather than later Quote

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. 5 Quote

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. 8 13 1 Quote

Engorged Onion 10,226 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Well, it was clear as day when Tim Lamb said - he will play for us next year - those last two words being the most meaningful ones. 1 1 Quote

Lucifers Hero 40,875 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 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. 4 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Two years is a long time. I’m backing us to keep him. 4 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,749 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 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. 4 1 1 Quote
Cheap Seats 3,310 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 THis is an interesting watch. As hes contracted and a required player we'd want a decent return, what did we pay for Lever, i'd assume the compensation should be equivalent to that. 2 Quote
