He's already been nominated.I'm assuming Nank is ineligible for the rising star?
No current season stats available
At least there will be someone to barrack for in the finals.People are sleeping on Fremantle.
Sadly?Sadly it seems that Kenny’s Power Rangers are headed for the knackery

So he doesn't rate Will Verrall at all it seems, strange why they re-signed him. 40+ hit outs on the weekend in the VFLSimon Goodwin in the post match presser claimed there was no other ruck on their list that could win hitouts (despite having other rucks on their list) which is why Petty had to play ruck. Even though Petty got no hitouts and can't ruck at all.
Seriously if we get this guy to coach us after Nicks I'll be furious. He has Nicks level reasoning and makes awful decisions
Throwing a young player on your list under the bus, when he didn’t even play in the AFL and was only traded in at the end of 2023, is just super weird and extremely poor coaching. Especially when the preferred player can’t ruck at all and has been terrible all season.Simon Goodwin in the post match presser claimed there was no other ruck on their list that could win hitouts (despite having other rucks on their list) which is why Petty had to play ruck.

Maybe those murmurings about how he conducts himself off field have some truth to them?
Was he asked specifically about Fullarton? He does realise they also have Verrall who is an actual ruck?I don't even think Fullarton plays lead ruck in the VFL so Goodwin claiming he can't get hitouts as both an explanation for why he wasn't selected and an attack on his form is extremely poor
Probably a good time for the Dees to negotiate. His value will be at its absolute lowest.Imagine getting thumped by 10 goals and then extending a player no other club wants for a further 2 years, instead of just seeing if he gets form back in 2025. Not a great day for Dees fans!
Goodwin hasn’t shown anything to say they’ll ever swing him back again, so they’ve basically just extended a VFL standard KPF/ruck. It’s horrible list management. But I guess Goody just threw under the bus any KPF/ruck on the list that’s not named Petty, so it makes sense from that perspective…Probably a good time for the Dees to negotiate. His value will be at its absolute lowest.
Petty was obviously desperate to get some security, otherwise he would have waited til free agency and hopefully playing better next year.
Would have been an el cheapo extension.
He either gets some form back (big win for them) or remains average but on a very low salary (minor loss)

Will Billy Dowling be rewarded for his "body of work" for the rising star this week??
Evans was very good. Would be deserving.Port boy will probably get it - Evans

Yes, but this is a player that’s had a genuine stinker in 2024 and was already on the list for next year anyway. I don’t feel you would be so forgiving if this was Justin Reid extending a player after such a poor season.May turns 33 in January.
It's smart list management. Not signing players in their peak career moments which torpedoed our club during the 2017 generation.
This was a player our club was at one stage desperate to sign don't forget, so let's not pretend he's some dud just because of this crap season.
Horrible list management would have been being spooked by our big offer last season and signing him up long term then, before they saw how he performed post-foot injury.
An equivalent would be us extending Pedlar or Murray now, during a crappy/injury plagued season.Yes, but this is a player that’s had a genuine stinker in 2024 and was already on the list for next year anyway.

Impressive young Crow lands Rising Star nomination
Luke Nankervis is the round 13 AFL Rising Star nomineewww.afl.com.au
Murray has showed more in a month of footy than Petty has all season, very odd examples to pick out.An equivalent would be us extending Pedlar or Murray now, during a crappy/injury plagued season.
Would again be good from a club perspective. Players who have projected to be good, signed for low cost.
Petty until this year has looked a quality player, hence our pursuing him whilst in contractMurray has showed more in a month of footy than Petty has all season, very odd examples to pick out.
Pretty sure Reid will win it.Forgot!
I wonder how he's tracking for the award. Has had a very good year!
