Player Watch #35: Harry Petty – is here for 3 more years, but is not a KPF or a ruck

[Bluelegs]

I thought it was because Adelaide offered bugger all. Isn't he a RFA this year which makes it easier for him to leave?

He's still contracted next year, FA next year and OOC. If they're offering us a shit pick at years end the only reason we'd take it would be to open up cap room. Otherwise just hold off and take the compo next year.

Cool, looks like I was wrong.

Amartey kicked 8 goals straight in 2 quarters

I might need to watch again because I thought it was one of his better outings.

Would still prefer he was in the back half though.

 

[booshboy]

Honestly I can still see him working as a forward long term, but he's painfully out of form/down on confidence and fitness. Its negligent coaching to keep him withering on the vine, either put him back or to Casey to find some touch.

Does anyone think he's gonna get a week for that ear massage? Games pretty soft now wouldn't be surprised if he did.

You would hope not. That would be ridiculous

I reckon a week or a fine.

Might be a small blessing really. Give him a couple of weeks to reset and see what we can do with a different forward combo like JVR and TMac.

Goody would contest any suspension of Petty to the High Court rather than risk not being able to keep putting him out to the slaughter each week.

Nice. Played him out of position to tank his value and get him cheap. Now put him in the backline again thanks.

 

[Daemon]

Very happy he has re-signed. Should be our long term replacement for May when/if Goody finally realises he is not a ruck or forward.

 

[schmuttt]

I'm actually fine with him signing on provided we play him back next year onwards. If we don't its a bad contract.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Legs is spot on, extend him for 3 years right after this disastrous season, can lock him up for **** all. Play him in D50 next year. That is proper 4D chess.

 

[DemonZombie_001]

Did he have much of a preseason this year or is that just some made up stuff (that he did not) ?
- It would explain a bit if true to be honest.

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

Had a rubbish preseason but had enough time to come good by mid-break. Actually thought he moved around the best I've seen him this year. Had some pop to his leap again.

Just read we gave Petty a payrise as part of the contract extension.

Classic old mate Lamb.

Well considering he had played about 25 games when he signed his last contract, I'm not overly surprised.

 

[Scythe94]

God I wish I was two metres tall though

Thread title should be updated to include "not a ruck"

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

This has to be the weirdest timing for a new contract announcement ever having said im fine with it, straight after a loss... is this the media teams idea? "The supporters will be angry on social media tonight can we let them know about the great ruckman Petty's contract to cheer them up?"

 

[Scythe94]

Dancing Potato – three more years (was already signed til end of 2025)

Just slid it in after we cop a pasting and everyone is avoiding footy media.
Credit where it's due, I reckon it's pretty well played tbh.
