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

Shhhh!!!

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
