Had a sensational start to the season, the highlight being his 17-touch, four-goal effort against Collingwood in round two before a shoulder injury in round six ended his season. Will be a welcome return in 2011 -Luke Holmesby melbournefc

Plays so tall for a bloke who is shorter than Trengove.

Long long arms and very courageous.

One of those really handy pieces to a side, like a Max Rooke.

I don't like the Max Rooke analogy...

Anyway, missed Ricky big time this season - proved he was a player on the up with his first 6 games of the season before injury struck.

Takes a great mark and is a much improved kick of the ball!

Gold Coast will be ruing they're loss at recruiting him - well done Dees!!

I should add that the beauty is he goes under the radar at opposition teams - it works to our advantage.

Petterd shined when our forward line was in shambles this year....needs to have good on field chemistry with Jurrah, Green, Wonna, Watts & co....

I think you'll find that we have one of the best conversion rates of I50s to scores in the comp.

Mahoney has done a very good job with a young and undersized forward line.

The silence of the Ricky doubters is deafening...

Yet again...

Could it be that the 'doubters' have changed their minds? This happens y'know, when the information at hand changes.

There were very legitimate reasons to question his role this time last year.

I don't doubt his ability but have real doubts about his body.Seems very injury prone and if, indeed, can get this right will be a sensational player for us.

undersized and inexperienced...plus they were often starved of chances.

where did we rank for inside 50 in the comp?

Just love Ricky's courage, strength and recent goal kicking prowess. Seems to have found his niche in the forward half, and was sorely missed after round 6. Will add another dimension to our forward set-up in 2011, and be an important factor in the potential match-up dilemma that will confront opposition coaches.

He is a real enigma to me.

Doesn't in any way look a marking forward, but has done the job magnificently when available.

I guess a question is where does he fit in if all of Jurrah, Watts, Dunn, Green, Davey, Wona are fit and in form, and even Bate were to apply himself and realise his potential.

Would be a nice dilema for selectors.

Yep.

He was fantastic early on. Probably would have kicked 40-odd goals this year.

His set-shot kicking really surprised me. It seemed so natural and was very reliable.

Who could forget his game against the Pies.

Yeah...nah.

His kicking for goal is still wonky & unreliable.

He was good, but seriously.

Rose-tinted memories.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
