Not really sure if he says anywhere there that he's staying, but you're right...a good article and seems like a top bloke too. Would be great to keep him, and I think he knows we're on the verge of something special!

And before everyone jumps down your throat - it should be PettErd not PettArd!

Who is Pettard?

why pick up on such small things, nothing better to do pal..

just be happy he is staying

"I know the team was going somewhere, and I couldn’t be a part of it this year. I look forward to getting back next year and hopefully start where I left off."

I don't regard spelling someone's name correctly as 'such a small thing' - I think it's a sign of respect to spell someone's name correctly.

And I'm mighty glad it looks like he's staying.

Sorry mate,

I'll try to be as perfect as you are next time..

I was just happy to see the article, didn't proof read my heading.. geez

How about this: "I know the team was going somewhere, and I couldn’t be a part of it this year. I look forward to getting back next year and hopefully start where I left off."

and:

"For the record, Petterd has no plans to move back to his home state, and he's more than happy to be part of an emerging Demons outfit.

“It’s an exciting place to be," he said.

"It’s in the hands of my manager and the club now, so there’s not much I can really do. They will look after it, I’m sure.”

Oh, and while on the subject, according to the man himself, while his name is spelt "PettErd", it is correctly pronounced "PettArd". Hence the confusion that seems to abound.

Cheers!

Apparently he said he had more chance of lining up at full forward for the Doggies than take on a job at the Gold Coast

But hang on isnt Petterd from the GC and that another poster had it on good authority that he was going to GC???

Just shows the stupidity of those posters pandering to speculation without the facts. :rolleyes:

Anyway its interesting he has decided to stay.

Perhaps Ricky just hasn't heard yet that Guy McKenna bought a house on the GC last week which is going to be for Gary Ablett.

Actually, he said he had more chance of becoming the next PM!! LOL

I wonder if the odds have changed on Abletts and Petterd's respective moves. :lol:

As i stated a few Months ago...Would Ricky Petterd really want to Shake Jim Stynes Hand & say Goodbye at years end??

I sure hope not. Money isn't the be all & end all with job satisfaction. Those new facilities, our growing membership.

Sure i will wait till the signature is on the paper, but all these solid rumours are just garbage.

Ricky Petterd is a required player of the Melbourne Football Club, & don't forget that the Medical Staff at Melbourne saved his life. So it would be very hard to walk away to a Soul less Franchise created merely to increase Broadcasting rights.

In 1858 Broadcasting was done via the Quill Pen or the Spoken word. Go Demons. B)

I'm hardly inclined to call it a given that he'll stay.

Indeed. I finished that article feeling like I knew as much about his intentions as before - SFA.

Posted

I will stick my hand up as one of the Petterd is gone people.

Glad the article gives all the right indications.

Nothing however is a certainty until the paperwork is signed but the indications are good.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
