Recommitted Harrison Petty [OOC 2025]

[rabidcrow]

Someone appears to have not realised the players have got a 20% uplift in salary.

$800K is the old $660K...

It's why the clubs which didn't put the CBA into the their player contracts have plenty of cap space to fill.

Crows & Dons are 2 of these clubs.

Are we? I though West Coast and Dons were the two reported to have done that

Yes, there were around 4 teams & we were one of them.

You are choosing to take the risk. Not us mate. We are happy to hold him and he is contracted / required player.

Quit talking like we are even at the table.

As I said if you want to offer $1m to a contracted player, that’s your decision and you need to pay relevant compo to the offer. Everything else is negligible as Adelaide are the ones trying to make something happen.

If you want to take risks with offers, then that’s on you, it isn’t the Demons problem.

Lol - you overpay to get a player's commitment, so he tells his club he wants out. You overpay so his club knows that he doesn't want to come back.

You don't overpay twice. You overpay to make a player very happy. You pay the opposing club as little as you can get away with.

 

[Mostyn]

He is a fine player but he is not AA calibre

Agreed. He's not a top 20 key defender currently.

I guess you pay the player either what the market dictates or how desperate your club need is ie defenders are in demand and some clubs have list needs in this area. Whether you deem this overpaying once in a supply and demand scenario I am not sure. Extricating a contracted player out of a club can also be costly though. Obviously negotiating with a club for an uncontracted or restricted free agent can be difficult. Not sure however if this translates to a blanket ' you don't overpay twice ' imo

If your club wants a clubs vital player that is contracted for two years while in a flag window, you are overpaying twice.

There honestly probably isn’t a player in the AFL you’d have to overpay more to get them relative to their ability than Petty

As proof of overpays?

Yes, way overpays.

Yes, way overpays.

I’d honestly think closer to Weller level

 

[Mostyn]

This seems like such a weird option for the Crows.

They have Murray, Butts, Keane and Worrell already in the backline at 195cm+, then they have Michelanney at 191cm.

And they're in the mix to vastly overpay for a 3rd banana tall defender with a lisfranc injury?

While they desperately need premium mids and a ruck replacement?

Strange they're even considering it.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Exactly. With the draft order roughly known, it’s effectively Petty for Reid, Duursma or McKercher or no deal.

Yeah, I'm partly in agreement with you.

Our priority should be our midfield, like for the Dees it should be their forward line.

However, the club should always be looking to bring in talented players & I have no issue giving up a 1st & McAdam for Petty... but I think it's very unlikely to occur this year.

ITT his value is free falling.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

If Melbourne got the Crows first rounder this year, McAdam and a future 2nd rounder for Petty, I would do that deal.

It's doubtful that will get a better deal from the Crows in the future (assuming the Crows flag window is opening) and Petty definitely seems almost certain to return to SA at some point down the track.

He ain't the type of player that could be a major influence in a grand final (in my opinion)

Seems to me the Crows are in a cold arms race with Port to try bring as many quality SA born players/recruits to their club.

It makes more sense for Port to chase him, given their dearth of KPP options, but obviously don't have the draft capital to get a deal done.

Which tends to not be at much of a discount when the player is contracted. If reports are correct, Demons are foregoing F2 + 14 - FA compo for 2 years of improved flag opportunities, where they’re already very close. Not sure we’re offering enough. I think to tempt them we’d have to pay outrageously in draft capital or get another player involved that they think will provide as much as petty in terms of flag aspirations.

We think if we replicate this year we’re flag contenders next year and we’ve injury concerns with 2 KPDs. So replacing a KPD makes sense to them.

Edit - and we’re not ‘considering’ it, we instigated it and are chasing hard.

Fair call - or get Petty to REALLY demand to leave, but that seems very unlikely.

And as much as we might want him, can’t knock a bloke that is happy to honour his contract and forego a fair bit of coin over the remainder of his current contract.

 

[markm106]

I have been told you can’t trade a pick to a club and have it traded back to you. So would 14 be off the table? Maybe the AFL will use their flexible rules policy to allow it. But I believe a trade was previously knocked back due to this.

 

[markm106]

I think this is a still a chance to get done this Petty to Crows trade. However it is going to take Crows parting with pick 10 and McAdam for starters. Plus pick 20 or next years first. Of course there’ll be something more going back with Petty. I can’t see Melbourne letting him go with 2 years left unless it’s massive overs. So probably unlikely to happen. And he hasn’t officially asked for a trade at this point.dees would also be asking the question of Thilthorpe or Fogarty. But can’t see crow’s parting with one of them.

If it’s 1 first rounder we are better off keeping him. We would likely get that value if not more when he becomes a free agent in 2 years after we enjoy 2 years of his service and find a replacement.

As someone said, it would have to be enough currency to get us a Reid. Mckercher, Watson or Duursma in the draft.

Being able to bring in another beanpole Ollie Murphy who is going to take 3 years to put on size does us no favors and we hold.
