Ed Langdon, Xavier Taylor and Blake Howes quickly came to his aid, before Demons doctor Jacob Jewson helped him walk off the ground slowly with physio Zach Nelson. Petty's day was over just before three-quarter time in round six, but the issue wasn't clear. And in the days afterwards, it was unclear when he would return.
