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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
