Crows fans feel like they dodged a bullet as they need midfielders more than defenders. Glad he is staying with us.

not the ones i speak to; they saw petty as their #1 key defender going forward

they also think they need an a-grade mid more, tho, and that rankine should be it but question whether his body will ever be 'right' to do so

    There is every chance the club wasn't ready to release it. 

    Morris is a known low-life, ambulance-chaser and has at various times released mfc info they didn't want in the public domain.  I'm guessing his courting clubs didn't know either.

    HIs 'scoop' has robbed the club and Petty of some valuable positivity and PR.

    Before people assume there is a leak within mfc, Morris could have his info from any number of sources.  Who knows where his type lurk. 🤮

    Good news. Now for 2025 onwards, send him back to defence where he excels.

    Calling him a journalist is an insult to those that are.  

    I'm not surprised.  It is exactly what I expect from his type.

    That doesn't mean I have to like it.  I don't!  Especially if it hurts my club. 

    I find everything about him repungant.🤮🤮🤮

    um ...what does the second line mean?

    Yikes. You're telling me he's 198cm and has Petracca thighs?

    Clearly some kind of defective mutant who should be avoided until late in the draft by all other clubs.

    Leaked to Morris to try and distract from the Freo fiasco is my thinking

    Maybe but I seriously doubt the leak came from the club.

    If they wanted to distract from the loss they could have released it themselves.

    Where I live (on the Surfcoast) it became a running joke a few years back. No malice meant. It's like saying 'hang on, you're having a go at him when he's only had nice things to say about you.'

    Interesting that he would sign a new deal when not in great form and has a clear exit option. One might almost think he has faith in the club and coach to support him and develop him to his full potential. Or at the very least he feels the club and coach have faith in him.

    Absolutely love this. Have no doubt that his foot issues destroying his preseason and confidence in his leap have caused most of his issues. I know most will want him returned to defence but I think he'll surprise a few and come on strongly as a forward yet. Go Petts!

    Might make it as a forward with an injury free preseason!

    Would just like to see him injury free for the next 3 years and will have a very good key position player over that time.

    Very much this. I know the majority want him returned to defence but I'm keeping the faith. I reckon he could be a 35+ goal KPF given a decent run with fitness & injury. Folks remember his big game against Richmond but there was more to his season than that. His improvement week on week when he started playing forward last year was impressive. Running & leading patterns, getting to contests, presenting as a target etc. Unfortunately each time he really got going he was struck down with injury.
    I'll go to my grave believing we were a fit Harry Petty and / or Jake Melksham away from winning the whole bloody lot in 2023.

    • 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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
