While I am sure I am to be howled done as a rumor monger, from a good source who is mates with a recent player, he suggested at the exit interview Ricky and MN did not see eye to eye and Ricky was keen to leave with several clubs interested.

This totally blindsided MN.

Does he have a contract or can he walk?

I guess it will play out in the coming weeks.

 
 

Neeld was suprised ? You must be kidding.

What I find hard to believe is that MN was blindsided. Ricky has had few games and MN would know that he would be concerned by that.

Surely you're taking the [censored].

Petterd is leaving because Neeld played him in only 4 games. He's not part of Neeld's plans.

Blindsided ? Yeah, by Neeld

Not sure why Neeld would be 'blindsided'. Pretty clear that he isn't in the coaches plans. Maybe Ricky wanted to make the first move before he was offered up?

Well he had an exit interview and Ricky was keen to leave.....Gotcha.

Petterd played VFL most of the year and when promoted to the AFL plays like a millonaire without a dime and gets dropped and MN was totally blindsided......Gotcha.

Nothing like a good rumour is there. :wacko:

Petterd is OOC and was a monty to go at year end.

Blindsided as in Neeld was not prepared for Rick to be so ready to move and confident of interest.

Geelong, Collingwood, Brisbane.

Here we go. With Moloney and Jurrah gone every player who hasn't played much footy this year or is out of contract will want out of the club "according to my source". Not offence but I'll believe it when I see it.


Saw Ricky at the sandy hotel the other night. Shows more interest in the gee gees than he did on the footy field this year I'm afraid. I would take anything at all in a trade.

This is like the 12 days of Christmas, but with Melbourne players leaving. The 12 days of MFCNQRs.

None taken. I don't often post, I was simply surprised that someone in any occupation would leave a job without one ready to go.

Things change quickly in footy. If we offered a one year deal, maybe that is better than drifting further into oblivion and not on an afl list.

Bye Rick you were so good for 2 games, 3 years ago.

We need players who drive the training standerd's up.


Seems more than a few have been suffering headaches form constantly whacking their sconce on the , now raised, bar.

awwwwwwwwwwwww !!!

Well hopefully as many of the NQGEas we can nudge will get the hump and go.

He ( rp ) had some good games but lamentably many many average ( and below ) ones.

Keep 'em coming!

Do you have any comprehension of the effect of so many players leaving or being told to leave! Who would want to come to MFC! Neeld apparently has no understanding of people management, let alone the effect on the club!

Good Luck to Ricky P if true, and I hope some one good gets his number coz its my Favourite number.

I am perplexed by Ricky P. With his tackling efforts against the tigers last year and his hard approach to the footy I would have bet that he would have relished under Neeld at the start of the year. I don't get what is wrong with RIcky.


This is not a question of who should leave, rather it is a question of how departures should be managed in MFC's best interests!

The obvious question - is it Ricky!

It's Survivor: Melbourne Football Club Edition

Neeld: "Ricky, the tribe has spoken"

Petterd: "Yeah, well... I was leaving anyway!"

Hardnut the counts at 4 we are required to delist 3 players. This is hardly a mass exodus at this point.

Richmond got rid of 14 players from their senior and rookie lists after the 2009 season, which was Hardwick's first season in charge if I remember rightly. Nobody's complaining now!

If the club is serious about contending any time this decade, some hard calls have to be made and soon. Being OOC, Petterd is one of many players that will be the subject of a hard decision, no matter which way it ends up going.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
