just wondering if anyone else heard on "sen" this morning that "ricky pettard" has told the MFC club he doesnt want to talk about contract renewal until the end of 2010...thoughts?????

There is about 400 threads on this topic already

i dont think we have to much to worry about.

he might just want to concentrate on the season and leave it till the end

hope he stays

sorry, didnt see any comments on this topic. my apologies

The guy's just trying to get as much money as he can. Good on him. If he stays at Melbourne, that's great. If he leaves, then that's just how it goes. At least we may have a little more room in our cap.

We'll get compensation too.

And... even though it was ridiculed when it was floated a few weeks ago, the idea that clubs would inflate B&F performances to get better compensation has now been raised in the Hun (don't have the link right now).

That's interesting. It seems that Mark Thompson isn't interested in doing that for Gary Ablett, though, based on his post-match interview last week. I guess he really wants him to stay, no matter what the cost.

Most people who are given a lot all at once are less careful with what they spend. I think GC and GWS might also fall into this trap. They will have a lot of money and some pretty juicy picks to trade, and I think they might just be a little less than frugal in their dealings with the currently existing clubs. I hope we can take advantage of this, if it comes to it.

There won't be any trading though, unless we lose more than one player to GC17.

The AFL will decide compensation for players leaving to join Gary Clifford Irons (or, rather, Ken Wood will decide)

Ricky's sister karen made enquiries on how to become an interstate member this morning via facebook-so maybe she can help him stay a demon!!
