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!

"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.

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)

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
