Ya just know that Petch is the sort of player that'd burn us big time as an opposition forward

Let’s say his leaving gets us Kelly.
Our list of players 25 or under as of today includes:
B: Tom Barrass, Liam Duggan, Josh Rotham, Tom Cole, Francis Watson
C: Tim Kelly, Elliot Yeo, Dom Sheed
F: Oscar Allen, Liam Ryan, Willie Rioli, Jake Waterman, Jarrod Cameron
Plus the potential of Brander, Edwards, Williams, O’Neill turning into anything.
That’s our team assuming everyone 26 or over as of today isn’t playing in three years time. That’s not the core of a team that’s set to bottom out.
Bang on my man. Dont understand the obsession with wanting to trade out our young talent.
When petch was drafted the general opinion was hes a project player who will take time. I think hes well and truly surpassed expectations at this point in time and is showing glimses of being an absoloute game breaker when it all comes together.
Giving away draft picks for kelly is one thing, but If getting kelly means throwing away genuine young talent then i think we should 100% pass. His value is over inflated atm and given the position our team is currently in i thinks it crazy to sell our future for him, just weak list management imo.
Use the draft and trading for value has got our list to where its currently at, why change a wining formula...

Petruccelle was a teenager 4 months ago, is playing seniors in a top 4 side and kicking regular goals but we're cool with letting him go?
We should be making sure he's an Eagle for life.

Meh, if it helps us get Kelly I'm ok with it.
We can get that done with picks.
Make Geelong nail their own selections, don't give them a pre-nailed one.

Absolutely agree, he's into his second season and playing really well. He's got some real weapons too.
If we lost him this year, I'd want a pick between 15-20. Some might say that's crazy, but he's got a massive ceiling and only been playing football seriously for a few years now.

I obviously don't rate him as highly as you, I think he's a great athlete but not a good footballer.
Mate this is Bigfooty. Logic is not welcomed in these parts.
I really hope that Sheed doesn't regress again if Kelly joins us.
This is what I hope.
Gaff can just go back to playing wing full time (will still find a * ton of the pill on the wing)
Shuey could potentially play a bit more wing and HFF
Redden wing with a bit inside
Kelly bit inside and HFF
Yeo inside and perhaps thrown up forward
Sheed inside/outside (what he does atm)

Agreed.
He's great if you can get him burning someone out the back and he's only asked to make a simple kick to an obvious target or kick for goal within 30m. If he has to make a decision kicking inside 50 or execute difficult skills, he goes to water.
Defensively, he can make great plays by simply closing distance faster than players expect. Often he puts himself horribly out of position and is shrugged off too easily in tackles.
Personally, I prefer Cameron as a prospect. He's cleaner with his skills, deadlier in front of goals and applies better tackling pressure. We've also got Venables, who will presumably come back to compete for the HFF position.
I'd happily keep Petch and let him develop, but if someone comes along offering high picks for that promise, I'd be very tempted.
Summary for those of us who moved house and are waiting for our internet to be connected?...
Also, and I s**t you not, I had 2 guys from Baldivis come into my outlet at the hotel I work at last night. Had to stop myself from referencing Frodo and Blaine.
And what about that story fills you with confidence? His mum crying every time they have to part ways?

If Petch leaves, I hope we play Adam Selwood on him.

We'll probably debut Brayshaw to play on Petch
Sounds like a job for Brander but only if its raining and its an away game where we get thumped
Cameron barely leaves the 50, so their roles are a bit different.
I think they are both going to be very good players, but in different areas of the ground.
If petch is happy and wants to stay we should absolutely do everything we can to keep him. Likelihood is that 1-2 players will want to leave for more opportunities (seems to happen at most top 4 teams each year) so no need to force out b22 players unless they request it.

Wheres the Pet rumours coming from?
If he were to help us not need two first rounders for Kelly i would a 100% do it.

His heat maps actually suggest the opposite, the majority of his possessions are out gained around half forward / wing. Would suggest quite a similar role to Petch. Regardless, I would personally keep both as they are very dangerous especially in the same team.
