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.

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?

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.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
