Good article, good kid!

Yeah! Great to see him dispel those dumb rumours that were circulating!

Looking forward to him resuming his career with the Dees in 2011...!!

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!

[45HG 1,539]

Who is Pettard?

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

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."

[45HG 1,539]

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.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

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

Thanks Ricky.

Well played mate.

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.

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

Shhhh!!!

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

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

[Sir Why You Little 36,891]

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)

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

[Grandson of a gun 276]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,910]

I'm hoping Ricky Bobby will stay a Demon.
