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.

Ricky Pettard 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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
