    Where are you seeing this? I hope he has, he may be no good as a fwd but he's a quality key back

    Anyone who isn’t thrilled with that (if it’s true), is an absolute fool!

    Securing our talls means we can focus on restocking our midfield!

    Just please please send him back to the backline.

    If Jefferson comes good next year they probably will. Likewise if Tmac retires which I suspect he will.

    Did he sign in the rooms or something?

    One of the more bizarre pieces of news I’ve seen pop after a bad loss but I’m happy with that, he is still a gun defender and May only has one year left. I don’t see Jed Adams being ready to take over.

    I'm glad that we've retained him. An uninterrupted pre-season where he can prepare as a defender will be important.
    T-Mac doesn't have many years left and soon enough we'll need another tall backman. Petty is a premiership defender and it's where he plays his best footy. The recruiting priorities should be about restocking our midfield and recruiting for genuine key forward options.

    If you’ve missed a lot of the little things Petty has done with positive talk to his team mates, great forward pressure and routinely putting his body on the line then you’re letting your bias cloud your judgment.

    There’s a very good footballer - forward or back - in there.

    Don’t drop off now.

    PREMIERSHIP DEFENDER 👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

    Play him as a key defender 

    Not a key forward 

    He’s a good contested mark.

    If true, this is brilliant! By re-signed do we mean extended to '27?

    If not true, Tommy can suck a fat one (again)!

    Yep.

    Two years in addition to next year.

    Melbourne leaked it early because they heard there weren’t enough meltdowns on Demonland after that loss.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
