Worth noting that Petterd said recently that while he loves playing with the Dees and is enjoying his footy, it would be a huge rush to be playing regularly in front of family and friends up north. He is very much open to the idea of going north, although not certain to go if they offer him a deal.

He's also a "follower" of the GoldCoastFC on twitter.

If he doesn't want to stay then I'll help him pack his bags and enjoy watching him see what could have been.

If he does want to stay then I will enjoy his time at the club.

It's pretty simple and I won't lose sleep over it.

Honestly, to me it would be a terrible thing if any of our young guys wanted to leave, not just because of the loss of a promising player but because I like to think that the camaraderie of the group and the promise of some real success in the next few years would be enough to keep them despite the vast coffers of the GC and GWS teams. Given the culture that Jimmy is trying to build, any player who chooses to walk away is a blow.

Whilst not a great shock to most of us, Steve Quartermain just revealed on 'One Week At A Time' that Frawley and Morton were both offered big bucks by Gold Coast and both rejected the advances because of the future they see here at Demonland. Made me all warm and fuzzy anyway.

I'll put it a bit differently - the club should be MAKING our required players want to stay. Create a great culture, team camaraderie, win lots of games, give real opportunities for players to shine...$ can't replace all that. Let's face it, we don't have any Abletts or Riewoldts at the moment.

I reckon Jimmy & co. are well on the way to do that...

Yes and by and large we have it right but if if player wants to go for whatever reason (homesickness, money, clashes with the coach or whatever) then we close ranks and say "Right. You don't want to be part of this so then you can [censored] off to Carlton or some other club". Simple, direct and right on the money (pardon the pun).

The boys and the supporters have put up with too much crap getting to the point where we are finally recieving some respect to have to fight for a players favour. Either be part of it or don't. The MFC jumper is an honour and if a player needs to be convinced of that then I think that they are at the wrong club.

This sums it up for me. As a member and passionate supporter of my football club, I expect nothing less.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
