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.

    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

    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.

    Shhhh!!!

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

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

    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 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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
