No club announcement as yet.

They often like to announce the new signings in a batch.

Perhaps just waiting for another one or two to drop before making an announcement.

    Hope to hear Petterd signed with the batch.

    My stomach's going to drop if he's not with the next group

    Why?

    Panic merchants.

    I'm happy to wait. I think timing will have no bearing on his decision.

    Edit: not to mention the fact that a lot of supporters seem to think he's the only one at danger of going...

    No. They don't think that he is the only one at danger of going.

    But if you look at where he is from enforcer. Where his family is from, his friends are from...

    Then you may come to the conclusion that he may be one of the players we should worry most about.

    No?

    No, not really. I don't know how many times it has to be repeated that GC isn't running a QLD footballers repatriation service. Kurt Tippet & Nick Riewoldt are from QLD too, but they aren't rushing out of their clubs to get home.

    Exactly.

    I think who they target will be driven by who the GC17 thinks would fit their plans best and who jas the most talent.

    Once they decide on a target they will try to force the players' hands by throwing inordinate amounts of money at them.

    If one of those players happens to be Petterd, they may use the family/coming home idea to sell it to him, but it will be coincidental.

    Beat me to it.

    The family repatriation card is one of the most overused or misused "facts" on this site.

    Daniel Rich must be on the first bus back to Perth at the end of this year. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, he got a seat next to Cale Morton.

    They were waiting in line for their tickets with Bell, Jamar and Rivers who are all going back to Adelaide.

    It's not a misused or overused fact Rhino.

    I don't think that he is going to leave because of these factors.

    I am simply saying people are right to worry about him more than other players on our list because

    of these factors !!!

    Surely that makes sense to you?

    The Daniel Rich comparison is pathetic Rhino. But I commend you for the attempt at a funny joke.

    You too Enforcer.

    Sure are using your brain in these comparisons.

    I see - yet, one of the major reasons for picking Watts instead of Natanui was the eventual 'home' factor. Didn't Judd come 'home?' Didn't Thompson go 'home?'

    Was it?

    Did they?

    (2 out of the whole league and ST still has a wandering eye...)

    Typical infantile response

    Relevant though. The 'go home' factor is enormously over-hyped.

    For every player you can name that went home, we could probably give you 20 who didn't.

  • Quote

    Typical infantile response

    OK, name another one.

    We've got Judd. We've got Thompson.

    Now name another one.

    And then realise that your total of 2 (or maybe 3) as a proportion of the thousands of players who have played AFL football, or even of the 700 or so who are playing now, is miniscule.

    Not taking sides but there has been a few.

    Off the top of my head:

    Sav Rocca

    Darren Jarman

    Jeff Farmer

    Im sure there has been plenty more.

    Having said that, I do think that it is an over-rated issue. But to say it does not happen is being naive.

    ..isn't this thread suppost to be about Jamar? :wacko:

    Absolutely - but there are two or three antagonists on this site that continue to take cheap shots with their sarcasm and belittling responses.

    Possible expats from our sister station.

    BTW has anyone considered that Jamar may not be so anxious to re sign because of the way he was slighted pre season when contracts were initially being negotiated and he was only offered a 12 month contract ?

    Alright then. Another 3, with potentially more.

    Either way you look at it, we've got a tiny list of players out of thousands of AFL footballers.

    Someone who disagrees with you is not an antagonist.

    That is a stupid argument. 90% of players play in their home state anyway, so there would be no isssue.

    Fine, then make it a list of returnees against players drafted to a club outside their home state.

    A 'stupid argument' would be that Petterd is the most likely to go back to the Gold Coast simply because he comes from there.

  • Quote
    •  

    Whilst it is not completely accurate to say that Petterd is likely to go home because of his home state, there are other factors that have people worried.

    The fact that he has put contract talks on hold until the end of the year, as well as the fact that he has publicly mentioned how it would be nice to play in front of family every second week.

    Nothing to get too worried about yet but it is naive to think that having his family in Queensland it is not a contributng factor.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
