AFL: The much anticipated matchup between Harley Reid and Dustin Martin, almost lived up to the billing.

‘Should’ve driven him to the airport’: Do Dees regret rejecting deal, and is top 7 locked? AFL Rd 5 Talking PtsA dour defeat has a big trade question emerging - over the deal that didn’t happen.

Seven’s Theo Doropoulos reported at the time Adelaide had offered pick 14 and Shane McAdam in exchange for Petty, which was quickly rejected by the Demons. McAdam was eventually traded for a future second-round pick. It led SEN journalist Sam Edmund to ask on Crunch Time: “If Adelaide actually did offer two first round picks for Harry Petty, and close to $800,000 a year ... how big a sigh of relief for their list boss Justin Reid right now?”Brisbane overcome MCG Hoodoo | 02:38

Petty was clearly interested in heading back to South Australia, conceding as much after the potential trade fell through. It’s worth noting Petty has played just 66 AFL games, kicking 20 goals though most of them in 2023, when he was swung forward. As Whateley put it on Saturday morning: “I’m gonna hold the same question over Melbourne until the finals.

“But Ben Brown’s made a career out of lead-up, doing that, and to be fair, his knees aren’t great. He just can’t do what he once could do, and he’s just servicing a role at the moment.”Plenty of people will say it’s not worth looking at the ladder after Round 5. And sure, there are better hobbies out there.

And that would only leave one spot in the eight, with both of last year’s Grand Finalists still trying to fight their way in., if they’re gonna keep playing like they did against Melbourne, will be hard to stop. We can’t assume they’re all the way back based on one win, of course, but it was a damn good win heading into a really tricky patch of their fixture.

So it would not be crazy at all if the current top eight was, in some order, the final top eight. Even if that leaves out both Grand Finalists.HOW FREO GAINED ‘BELIEF’ AND BOOSTED CREDENTIALS… DESPITE ‘HEARTBREAKING’ FORTNIGHT But with the AFL competition as hot and tight as ever, the close losses to the Blues and Power could be costly down the track.“Two heartbreaking losses for Fremantle,” Bulldogs legend Brad Johnson told Fox Footy.

Longmuir conceded Fremantle’s inability to get “bang for buck” is an aspect that must improve, adding his side “lost too many critical moments” late in both matches.“There are moments out there that we’d love to have back, we’d love to be able to convert better, that’s as simple as it needs to be.
