Hi all,

I'm a bit worried about the possibility of Ricky going to the Gold Coast. He has put off contract talks with the club, and comments between he and Jeff White on twitter recently did nothing to ease my concern. The general gist of the exchange between Jeff and Ricky on twitter was:

Ricky - Absolutely cooked! early morning in gods country tomoro!

Jeff - @Rickypetterd15 Gold Coast?

Ricky - @JeffWhite34..yeh great place..hahah

Now feel free to lay into me if I'm reading too much into something so innocuous on twitter! But is anybody else worried about the delayed contract talks and the fact that Ricky is originally from Queensland? Hopefully the club can sort it out soon and we can keep one of our future stars!

Also, please don't judge the numbers at the end of my username - I would much rather Brad Miller go back to Qld than Petterd hahaha

I've heard some of them call Casey God's country, I'm sure that's what he was referring to.

But on a related topic right at the end of the Brisbane game Petterd and Sylvia were have a red hot crack at each other while all the others were shaking hands. Saw it on the replay that I watched this afternoon...... Not sure if there is anything in this, sure hope not

Think it is a bit of a furphy. Ricky will make a far more considered decision than that. If he wants to go, he wants to go. There is nothing we can do about it. But we are a long way from that.

Let's enjoy the current ride, and Ricky is an enormously enjoyable part of that.

God damn I love Ricky Petterd.

He is an animal, and does not shirk a contest. That was evident in his first ever AFL game when he nearly killed himself on the wing when attcking a loose ball.

The guy is a superb overhead mark, and is just very hard to match up on.

Only a matter of time before he unleashes a bag of 7 or 8 goals.

Yeah noticed this on TV. Wonder what that was all about?

7 or 8??

When was the last time Brown, Riewoldt or Franklin unleashed 7 or 8..?

Anyway, in regards to his twitter talk there was nothing in it. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

It is your own pathetic paranoia.

Him leaving contract negotiations to the end of the season is merely an indicator that he believes his play during this season will producer far greater ouput than previous years (rightly so) and therefore get im a better contract.

Whether that be at MFC or GC17.

Until then there is not much we can do, so just relax and enjoy the season for what it is.

Sylvia took a mark. Petterd ran hard for the handball receive and Sylvia ignored the team rule and failed to move it quickly. Petterd had a crack at him. I loved it.

Didn't notice this cos I was at the game, but that is fantastic. I love it.

Completely a non-issue though.

It's something that would likely be brought up in a match review, discussed, then everybody moves on.

I think Col's man enough, and already taken responsibility for enough drama he's caused in the past, to not let this be an issue.

Kezza, I think Victoria is a great place. I moved from there to Queensland about 4 1/2 years ago. Doesn't mean I moving back in a hurry! Actually, one day I might, but not until I have achieved what I want to up here first. Ricky should be the same - if he wants to win a flag in his AFL career, he has more chance at Melbourne than at GC17; I can't see GC winning one in their first 6 years, by then we may have won 2 or 3, then I'm happy for him to go if he still wants.

Not sure if this has been raised, but I'm sure I read someone, or heard an interview where Petterd said he'll be at the club next year, and not to read anything into his contract negotiations. I could be totally wrong however.

I don't remember who or in which thread, but one of our posters said that he chatted with Ricky at training (??) and was told this. I really hope it's true. I don't want to see any of our players going to GC or GWS.

I was in Hobart a couple of weeks ago...and in their paper there was a small article on Ricky. He had put all contact talks on hold... as he was drawn between both. Loves the red and blue, BUT also misses his family and friends back home. He said he will let his footy do the talking ...!!!!! :wub:

hmm sorry but i agree with sylvia there was a brissy player coming into sylvia he was gettin ready for body contact, it would have been a hard handball i think .

my question is why did the umpire call play on ? when all sylvia did is run to take his kick he had not moved forward off his mark ?

    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

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
