Ricky Petterd

Recommended Posts

He may be the upside of losing 6 straight. Now he got his chance.

Really did look like he had something...great instinct and went in hard.

Will be very interested to watch his progress as he looks like he belongs already and the side believes in him.

14 marks...wow...would not have guessed that.

he has looked impressive though. he hasnt been particularly damaging but he gets a lot of it which is important. getting more touches than sylvia anyway...

very true, let's hope he doesn't have the same soft tissue injruies.

bit of attitude too, anyone notice him clap the port guy after kicking it on the full?

Dunno about the next Tingay. Different sort of players IMO. Hope he has better luck with injuries!

Very pleased with Petterd thus far though. Kid is really showing he has the skills and smarts to become a good player. Add a few KGs to his frame, and more games under his belt, and he will be owning the HBF and pushing up into the midfield with great effect for years to come.

He was throwing himself into more contests than many seasoned players. He's got guts and skills, but I'll let him develop before i make any rash calls.

Deserves NAB rising star nomination though.

The kid can play and I can't wait to see more of him!!!

A couple more years in the gym and we will have one of the most determined, courageous and skillfull running backmen in the game!

Now that nearly gives me a chubby! :wub:

the comparison to tingay is more for the reckless hardness in my eyes

True, I reckon he moves like a younger Tingay as well. If he bulks up well he could become a very damaging impact style of player just like Tingay too.

There's alot to like about the kid

is he going to be a backman or a midfielder? he is playing in the back at the moment but i get the feeling he will be a tough little wingman given the opportunity, and a pretty solid tagger in the centre for a while as while (although we have godders for that at the moment)

Once Bartram is fit, he should be played on the half back line, where he is both accountable and can give us good drive out of defence. This means Petterd can push onto the wing and get some tagging jobs under his wing. I think that every midfielder who isn't specifically an insider, should start out by being a tagger and doing jobs on the best in the business. It's the best way to learn IMO.

I think Petterd is only being used in the backline because Barts is injured, Brown is a liability down back, and Ward is well... Ward.

thats what i was thinking jaded but its good he is versatile and can kick a goal as well.

when i was watching the sydney game i was very impressed but kept thinking oh no why are we moving him, he was doing so well there, just let him settle. apparently he is up to it...

Petterd has exquisite skills. Our skill level is a major reason why were are 0-6. Even our alleged best midfielders Bruce, Johnstone etc can't hit targets this season but Ricky is crisp and precise with his use of the ball. It's a pleasure to watch. Tim Watson said on the weekend that he's a player that wants to be involved, he's obviously confident in his ability and why not? I'm really looking forward to seeing him progress throughout the season

Coming to my boys' Auskick on Saturday morning - should be great to meet him and find out a bit more about him - although usually the kids ask the real in depth questions like "have you ever kicked it out of bounds?" He will be joined by Heath Neville.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
