Ricky Petterd has kicked 6 in two outings, and could have easily kicked 10. How many will he kick for the whole year.

I'm predicting 75, making him the best since Neitz in full flight when he was the Coleman Medalist.

What do we think?

75? ur kidding right?

seventy eight hundred million and forty four hundred!

I honestly think he is capable of kicking 50 goals this year.

40 would be a magnificent effort. It will get harder from now, will be the oppositions number one priority in our forward line.

What do we think?

I hate to sound negative, but he has no chance of kicking even 50 goals THIS year. Two reasons, firstly we are still going to be a bottom three side. So the ball inside 50 wont be either there enough or delivered with quality. And secondly, there are only one or two small forwards in the game capable of kicking 50 goals, let alone 75!

Think of the best small forwards in the game: Milne, Chapman, Rioli, Le Cras. None of them could kick 75 even in a great side, let alone a bottom side.

When we get better, he is certainly capable of kicking 50. But by this stage our attack will be focused on Watts at full forward and having cream midfielders kicking goals (like Murphy, Judd, Gibbs we will have Scully, Trengove etc). So even at this stage he will not be able to kick 75. But I'd be rapt with a 50 goal season!

40-50 would be a GREAT effort from Pettard.

But the difference is that none of those guys, with the possible exception of LeCras, are their team's main focal point when going forward. Petterd is for us. I remember a few years ago Mark Williams nearly kicked a hundred goals for Hawthorn when they were crap, simply because they went to him so much. I'm not saying that Petterd will do that, but I do think that 50 is certainly possible.

40+ would be great from Petters.

30 would be a good return IMO.

75? You've got to be taking the micky.

50 be good ,what was our leader last year around 30?

Ricky will kick 25-30 goals,

If he stays fit.. I think he will kick 35 - 45 goals

Plays so much taller then he is.. and confident around goal

I'd tip 40ish. 2 goals a game based on the occassional bag supported by the fact that he always contributes something.

He'll also get that many assists; that the part that makes me dizzy. I think he had 4 goal assists this week, which is just phenomenal.

Remembering that Jurrah is also a player who delivers as many goal assists as goals, and that Sylvia and Morton are as much about inside 50s as goals themselves, you'd have to think that even as Petterd's role shifts away from being the focal point later in the year, he'll still be kicking one or two goals a game.

50 be good ,what was our leader last year around 30?

Our leading goal kicker last year was Robbo with 29.

Ricky will kick 25-30 goals,

He's a quarter there already after two games, games in which he could have easily kicked a total of 10.

He will kick at least 50, maybe 73.

Green if he stays at full forward will also kick 50+. liam jurrah with half a season will kick 30.

Jack watts with 12 games will kick 15

I hate these type of posts, as it usually means an injury coming up. Every time a new player plays a good game, he is the next brownlow medallist to some on here and a short time later is out for the year injured.

Ricky Pettard isn't a footballer's shoelace.

But I reckon Ricky Petterd is good enough to kick 35-40 goals this year.

I'll go for 34.

Well if Ricky gets injured this week, I'll be coming after you.

It depends if we can get other goal kicking options around him. If he is going to be our main scoring option he may get double teamed and smashed. Until we can get Jurrah and hopefully Watts back and kicking goals we need our small mid forwards to step up. Last week it was Petterd but you cant expect him to kick 3-4 per week. Bate needs to start kicking goals, I would love to see Maric given a chance over the next few weeks, Sylvia coming back, Green will send more time up forward as long as our midfield works like it did on Saturday.

Petterd will make a fantastic 3rd option up forward capable of kicking 35+goals per year. Make no mistake he won't be getting a zoning defender this week, he will get Adelaides best defender.

If Ricky gets 30+ that will be a great outcome.

Ricky Pettard had a great game on the weekend, Rohan Connolly gave him best-on-ground.
