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 first rounders with a second rounder going back to Melbourne.

That pick ended up being…Harrison Petty.

he's injury prone and sounds like he wants to go home anyways. If he's not long term committed, I'd be tempted to do the deal now. hopefully he can recover in full and have a good season so we get properly compensated if he leaves next year.

I can’t see it happening but if Adelaide offer 2 first round picks then it’s a no brainer

Young played 3 games

Stocker was delisted in 2022. Got picked up by the saints and had a decent 2023 playing almost every game. 
 

2 x picks inside the top 20 including a top 10 pick

We really made out like bandits on this one.

Proof once again that draft picks are not always the Hail Mary we all hope they will be. 
For every Oliver and Trac there are dozens of O’Briens.
 

It is why trading quality players is very risky.
Petty can be a major contributor to a flag in 2024 and we can then still trade him while contracted. It would be silly to let him go now, unless we believe his foot injury will prevent him from having an impact on games next year and we can get better value now.

The only scenario I would consider trading Petty this year would be if his injuries are a major concern and there is no certainty he will get back on the park and playing his best in 2024. The club is possibly bluffing when they say is will be playing with us next year to up the anti, but I doubt that.

Otherwise, he is a critical piece of the premiership puzzle - a tall forward who is physically fully developed, can clunk marks, split packs, run all game and kick accurately for goal. We have fantastic draft picks already - I don't care what draft picks are offered - we need exactly what he offers right now - not young talent that will come good in 2-3 years.

I'll be upset if he does leave, even in 2024, as he is part of our core group that will play at their peak for the next 5 years. His ability to play at both ends of the ground make him all the more important as May and Lever get towards the end of their careers. 

I really hope that he holds to his word and gives it another crack with us next year. Another test for the club.

Go Dees!

Picks 10 and 20 would make it a conversation but we'd have to have huge wraps on guys like Curtin, O'Sullivan and Caddy to really do it.

AND we'd have to have a short term answer. Chol, Koschitzke, most of the even half realistic ones are spoken for.

It's up to player managers to make their desires known and work across the industry to find options if they want to move a guy 2 years out.

Petty still isn’t proven as a forward. As a backman alone though, he is probably worth picks 10 and 20. However, he is coming off of an injury, appears home sick, and the club at present seems hell bent on off loading salary cap space, which makes me think we’ve something in the works next trade period. Could it be a forward?

There’s no way Curtin slips to pick 10, he’s likely going top 5. Caddy also very unlikely to still be available. O’Sullivan probably 50/50.

The theory behind this is (as Kane Cornes is gleefully enjoying on trade radio) that Adelaide will sell him the number 1 defender spot. 

If that interests Petty at all, then we’ve failed him with all the forward-back flip flopping. 

I’m hopeful he’s happy with the prospect of being a forward and/or a swing man, so that the sell from Adelaide isn’t persuasive.

IF things progress on this front, Melbourne should use McKay compensation as guide for Perry’s worth. 

The sheer optics of Petty going in the same window as McKay a lesser return would be shocking for the fan base.

I thought when he was interviewed after the Richmond game, he said he was really enjoying his time in the forward half.

Why would he not? What is so special about being a key defender vs key forward. I would have thought playing regularly, staying with your mates, having success were most important.

The strong lure home is a big pile of cash!

This would help us get a key forward I’d say 

Which one. Could only trade Petty if we have  a trade deal agreed for a quality key forward. By key forward I mean a player who can at least halve long balls in like Petty can by taking pack marks or bringing the ball to his feet. Petty is also smart on the lead and an accurate kick which is strangely under rated.

So who could we unlock? 

Otherwise hold Petty for 24 and 25 as a key player in push for 14 and see where he is at end of 25 re going home.

So in 24 we're in the window and rely on Benny Brown and Tommy Mac to support JVR in anticipation of getting a free agent in 24 FA/Trade for 25 season?

No thankyou very much.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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.
