    Herald Sun article petterd garland rivers.

    "But as soon as I started playing footy and seeing the direction we were going in, it was pretty hard not to sign a contract to be honest." "The players were the biggest reason I stayed. The biggest thing was the boys."

    Well done Ricky - Great to have you on board for the next few years.

    Great great news.

    So relieved.

    Thanks for staying Ricky.

    Great news on Col and Riv also.

    I'm surprised Rivers got two more, I don't think he is in the best 22 now, so by 2012 we could be in the same position we are in with Newton and Messon.

    Rivers more than deserves two and is in our best 22.

    Frawley, Garland and Pettard were all 3 VERY important signings.

    The only other players that need to urgently be resigned are Bate and Watts. However realistically Watts is too much of a risk for GC17 to throw mountains of cash at, because he's no certainty to become a player, so i'm not worried there.

    Great signings.

    My dream of seeing this forward line is still alive.

    Green Bate Sylvia

    Pettard Watts Jurrah

    With Dunn, Wona, Jetta, Bennel, Tapscott, Fitzpatrick as forward options, there is no doubt that those 6 above are all genuine goal kickers with enourmous talent.

    But... but... McKenna bought a house on the GoldCoast...

    I don't understand how Petterd could stay with us in spite of that...

  • Quote

    I have it on good authority that Petterd is off to the Gold Coast next season. Now, the AFL has just released information that clubs will be compensated in the following manner:

    Elite Player: 2 first round draft picks

    2nd Category: 1st round draft pick

    3rd Category: Selection at the end of round 1

    4th Category: Round 2 Selection

    5th Category: Round 3 Selection

    The question is, what category does Petterd fall into? The thing is, Petterd hasn't been able to show his full worth due to injury. But I would love it if he managed to slip into the 2nd Category although I think that to be honest, he is probably more a category 3 player given he has been injured all year.

    Thoughts?

    Can somebody post the list of remaining uncontracted players. I couldn't find it using the search function.

    With Frawley, Garland and Pettard signed, most of the important young guns are locked away.

    I'd like to see how many other really important youngsters have yet to sign. Watts and Bate are the only 2 I can think of off the top of the head

    Oh the joys.

    In all seriousness though, it's very good news for the club.

    Sylv, the Gys and Scully were two mentioned in the article, along with Watts. Not sure of any others - it's all too hard to remember!

    It was the "good authority" you mentioned that had it wrong.

    The picture on the Herald Sun site is FARKIN' EPIC

    Well, looks like the GC17 will have to look elsewhere for talent.

    I believe the following are out of contract:

    Bail

    Bartram

    Cheney

    Bate

    Watts

    Blease

    Miller

    Maric

    Dunn

    Bruce

    Bell

    PJ

    Martin

    Newton*

    Meesen*

    Hughes*

    Healey*

    Spencer*

    Spencer will be offered a contract on the seniors, leaving us with a clean slate for the rookie list. The dees will look to re-up Blease, Maric, Dunn, Watts, Batram, Bail and Bruce. I think Cheney might be asked to to a "Jordie" and play on the rookie list next season. This may also be the path for Maric who has much to prove.

    Maric is signed til the end of 2011

    • 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.
