I don't get as much intel as I once did but the last thing I heard is that Petty is keen to get back to Adelaide. 

They can have him. Never gets the best out of himself ol Harry.

    Too bad we didn't take the two first rounders last season.

    I guess in hindsight with the resurgence of TMac we definitely didn't need him, not if he was going to perform like he has.

    The last we hear is not necessarily the correct or probable outcome. Playing dorment on your wishes is no crime.

    It's pretty clear that we are lacking a lot of class in our midfield, unsure where we are going to find it at trade time but i hope Tim Lamb and the team get creative, maybe Richmond would move Taranto for another good draft pick?

    Class? Taranto? Is there a second Taranto at Richmond I'm unaware of

    Tarranto is the furtherest thing from being a class player lol.

    Absolutely butchers the footy and has zero composure. 

    Next.

    I think we need another couple of class small defenders. I can see Juddy and Rivers filling our midfield. Windsor also.

    Bowey regaining form, AMW and maybe Woey might solve that.

    Mac Andrew out of contract at end of 2025. Doubt he wants to leave gold coast but we've obviously been involved in him through his junior years. If he does want to come home there will be a spot for him down back with May nearing the end.

    Max King? In terrible form for the Saints. Could find himself at Sandringham next week. Obviously lacks physicality but he is better than this. Leading goalkicker at least twice at StKilda averaging two goals a game over his career. Not sure Lyon's system suits him. I reckon a mutual parting of the ways could be in the offing. Not sure what sort of coin he's on but if they pay some and it's a second rounder might be worth the punt. At 23 fair chance some development ahead.

    I gotta admit i was coming around to the notion that part of max king's problem is that he's at the aints

    it seems players who leave there get better after a few years out of their system

    i was thinking whether we should go all in and other him the big contract / them the multiple picks and hope we can sort out his complete lack of competitiveness?

    and then i watch him play and remind myself that no, definitely not, we do not want what he brings - which is not a great deal

    at half time he had 3 possessions, 0 marks, 0 score involvements

    finished with 10 possessions, 3 marks, 2 behinds, and 2 additional score involvements

    he's on close to $1m a year

    no thanks

    As bad as Petty has been the alternatives at CHF would’ve been worse. There’s a reason Fullarton hasn’t been picked so far. And let’s not forget round 1 Schache 

    And this has been a fun T Mc year but I’m not sure he’ll even be on the list next year (assume he will), could possibly retire or might get a deal to swing over to North for a veteran 2 years or some such thing. 

    The move right now is to rehabilitate Petty’s value next year not sell him for parts after a year with no preseason. The last 2 weeks have been a glimpse in to just how well he can still mark even if it hasn’t come together.

    We can’t go in to a season with Lever as our only prime age tall and teams almost never give up good ones. Because there’s a chance May and McDonald go sooner than later and we’re stuffed down back and hardly proven up forward.

    At least Adelaide has been worse than us, so we still have some leverage on them.

    We have Turner as well, he could replace Petty in the backline. What about the kid Adams?

    I still see Disco as no more than depth until he puts together a season and preseason for that matter. I’d rather he be the 4th choice key back next year with 3 mature players ahead of him. 2 of which are prime age, not just May, McDonald.

    Adams remains in the project player department and might be there forever.

    Fair enough but who else? Do we just hope JVR and Jefferson come on? I'm open to suggestions.

    Mac could be enticed, surely, given the early loving spoonful of the MFC - territory of which he must have an innate fondness. He'd be a mobile, challenging forward in my view or as suggested, a deep backman.

    Short of a big move for a gun tall I still think we need to chase athletic, aggressive, early prime age role players even if they are lesser names and focus on draft and development for skills. Keep hold of our first pick for a home grown gun mid.

    That said, Ro Marshall would certainly get a phonecall.

    No too old and Suns bound probably. This is not our greatest weakness. Solve our forward and mid lines and defence takes care of itself. Match winners needed not match savers !!

    I'm happy for Petty to go, hes really not offering much at all right now.

    It’s not always “about now”. Future and 23/24 yo who have been injured and bought in too quick or underdone need time like racehorses. This time nex t year for you want him tendering for Crows or us? 

    I believe he will finish this season positively and given another proper pre season will return to his best. 
    oh and so will Clarry !!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
