Strapping young lad.

Just wait till he gets older, then we'll have a real talent on our hands.

    Very happy to sign him on, but has been a real disappointment this season with some of his efforts while understanding he isn't a natural forward. If he only chased others they way he does Zorko

    Good news, smart to hang on to the talls we have particulary with a few the wrong side of 30. 

    Only 24 years old, Harry's played 77 games for the Dees, I'd suggest we've been more pleased than displeased with his performances in those 77 games. 

    Definitely battled this year as a forward/ruck off limited preseason and with some injury struggles but I'd suggest his last 4 games has been his best block of form and was possibly our best player vs Fremantle.

    Will/would return to the backline if/when feasible. Would need someone else to pick up CHF (maybe Jeffo in time) and probably for TMac to make way. The time will come...  

    We shouldn't disregard the selflessness in the role Harry has played this year. Team player!

    Life long Dees fan. He will be a Dee. I have no doubt.

    Yeah, I'm finding this woe is me MFCSS vis a vis Kalani really tedious. 

    He's been around the club for years, is clearly a passionate Melbourne supporter, his father has played over 200+ games for us.

    Only a Melbourne supporter would worry he wouldn't commit to us.

    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.

    I hope we use the rest of this season as a platform for 2025. 

    The one thing we've managed (except for 1 week when Petty was out) is to get continuity between JVR, Petty and Turner. Another 5 games together at least this year.

    'Yes, Tom Morris was telling the truth; Harrison Petty has signed on for two more years!'

    I have been hanging off until it was officially confirmed.✅ Congratulations Harrison Petty and MFC, I am looking forward to seeing Harry continuing to improve fwd/ back role for the Dees. One thing for sure running around in the ruck will certainly improve his and JvR’s fitness levels and if they don’t break down they will become stronger. !!

    One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to in 1997 at the Hifi Bar. Was recorded for the No Sleep Till Bedtime official release. Devin’s a genius.

    I also saw them at the HiFi bar but must have been circa 2002-04ish I reckon. Awesome gig but my ears were ringing for days afterwards

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
