I think they cut the bit where he said his golf game was extraordinary.

You haven't seen his short game.  I pity Petty putting.

Maybe Caddy could help him with this?

Petty no doubt has massive intrigue of moving back to SA and playing with his childhood team

Add the fact Adelaide went hard to lure him back would have given him butterfly's 

He will be a Crow come 2025

The problem being in Melbourne for this 'Adelaide' boy?

 

The long drive.

Jackson put his cue in the rack for season 22 very early on. Despite his total lack of enthusiasm and energy he was selected for most games. If he'd played like he should have and how he played in his first season for Fremantle we may have progressed further in the finals than what we did.

I hope they don't reward Petty with games next year. The writings on the wall. In my view he should rent a house out in Cranbourne to save on his travel expenses. Perhaps the Crows can buy him one in Berwick.

Punishing Petty for Jackson's attitude. Mm-hmm.

Cornes said yesterday Petty is 'desperate' to return home. How would he know and what does desperate mean?

Desperate to do what? ffs

I dont get any of this. Is there someone on this forum close to MFC who knows whats really going on.

If the rumours are true and hes gone then stop recruiting interstate players unless were 100% sure they wont take flight. May and Lever were not interstate players . Lever is from Vic and May has a history in Melbourne.

Probably be better to not take any notice of what Cornes is saying.

You wouldnt want to get into an elevator with him . He'd let go an enormous fart.

I once did that in an empty lift on the ground floor, pressed every button then got out.

It was wrong on so many different levels.

Good grief! I forecast months of cringeworthy Cornes substituting Petty for Kozzie in his next made-up story.

Spot on with this comparison.

I think I’m in the minority of people who doesn’t mind listening to Kane Cornes. But you have to do it through the lens of him being a ‘conversation starter’.  He is paid to dial things up and get a reaction.

Petty is open to a return to Adelaide.  That’s fine, so would I for 900k.  He is contracted to Melbourne and we have so far had no right of reply in regards to a contract renewal.  Let this play out.

Same [censored] said the same thing about Pickett 12 months ago

Less wrong on the upper levels though. 😀


Pickett never went public with his want to return “home”. Nor did Ports list manager. The deal offered to Pickett never became public knowledge neither did what Port offered. 
Kossie didn’t go playing golf and giving interviews with Ports players during trade week. 
Cornes is a tool but the two situations are very different.

If it hasn't been said already, Corn was saying this exact thing with Kozzie, slightly different circumstances but look at what happened there.

The guy is full of manure.

Absolute garbage. I know for a fact this is not the case. He is more than happy in Melbourne.

Adelaide were absolutely desperate to get him, that's the extent of it....for now.

Corney Cornes...


He's not desperate to move home. If he was, he would of requested a trade and pushed harder for it.

I've said it quite a few times - He listened to their offer, his head was turned by an extra 200K per season, he spoke to Goody & Lamb who said his commitment was required for 2024 in any circumstance. He loves his teammates and he's a good club man. He was happy to return. 

We know we have a job on our hands to keep him. He's been told if he can have a break out season as a forward, he will probably become a $1M per season player for the MFC.

i'd personally want to see two years of forward dominance to justify that sort of $$s

reckon it's well within his capability, injury allowing

“No one is gone “ Papley stayed at Swans after wanting to go to Carlton so we don’t know for sure. In. Year or two’s time.

The grass is not always greener on the other side with anything in life.

If we match the offer or on par with our other top earners and he stays and our players keep themselves out of the headlines.

I don't like being patronised Goffy. I'm entitled to my opinion and I didn't appreciate your dismissive comment. I was steaming last year about Jackson. Everyone knew he was leaving yet we continued to play him when he was playing single digit games. The club was at fault not Jackson. I don't want this to happen again.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
