We'd be stuffed if we lost Petty, given May is getting on

We'd be even more stuffed if we lost Windsor, he has A++ grader sort of ceiling with his athleticism

Petty for mine because I never worried about Windsor going anywhere at this stage. 

I am thrilled to secure a key position player who is only 24 and a proven defender, a proven contested mark and a potential gun forward. 

And just for context, it took Tmac 2 entire seasons to find the form he’s currently in post a Lisfranc injury. Every man and his dog wanted him paid out and delisted. Now everyone hopes he stays on.

Petty was less expected is all that turns the dial for me.

Tell you what, it's an interesting under-the-radar way for the club to affirm the coach has the support of the players.

Two great signings. I voted for Petty. I was worried that he might have been gone this trade window and he would have been very difficult to replace. Despite not playing his best footy this year I still rate him very highly. 
I never had any fear of Windsor leaving.

I've voted Petty because I guess I (naively) assumed we'd resign Windsor at some point, but was pretty certain we'd lose Petty for one tenth of a pittance, which would have been especially galling considering his market value at the end of last year.

I'm fairly confident we'll see a rejuvenated Petty and Oliver next year after a proper preseason, so it's very important we hold onto both of them. Their value is about as low as it can be at the moment, so a trade is the worst possible outcome (I don't buy the Oliver trade rumours anyway, but I did expect Petty to go).

 It’s Windsor for me.   He came in round one, and has not left.  In my view, he has never looked out of place.  He has lightning speed, great ability to change direction and excellent decision making.  I get excited every time he gets the ball.  Not all players have that x factor.  He does.  I want him in red and blue forever.

Has Petty resigned due to the fact Adelaide have no more interest?

Re-signed perhaps?

The hyphen makes all the difference in this instance !!    🤣

Exactly this.

Jackson, Lever, Scully (and much earlier, Nathan Buckley) are still the exception, not the rule. And may that be the case for a good while longer.

Petty seemed close to a certainty to leave less than a year ago. I think he's an exceptional tall defender - but even above average ones are hard to find.

Funny leading up to the last draft I was hoping we would pick Curtin or O’Sullivan at our first pick. Partly due to the fact that Petty had tried to push through a trade to the Crows and I thought with their mature bodies they both could have a good impact in the seniors in their first year. 
Fast forward to now Petty has resigned and Windsor has had a far greater impact in his first year than either Curtin or O’Sullivan.

Can we afford to lose a 197cm 24yo?  no.  Our list has zero Talls over 195cm who are under 30

Windsor is a kid, was always going to sign. So Petty easily the more impressive signing

Petty is playing without confidence & has been no better than Tomlinson this year.

See what Jaded no more said above. He is 100% right. Petty will return to being a great player.

My vote goes to Tom Petty's distant cousin Harrison who didn't break too many hearts.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
