Cheers mate, I like those odds!

will do, he is meant to be on SEN very soon (4-7 drive show)

He spoke very well!

It is a great testament to our recruiting that every young kid I have heard speak in public, has done so in the most mature, well-mannered way.

This includes McLean, Bartram, Miller, Jones and now Petterd.

He said that he is currently 80kg, but is hoping to be at the 86-88kg mark by next year.

he is going to be one great player in the future for us if he keeps going the way he is..

........................and yet another feather in CAC's hat.

Well done Ricky! I also have heard that Nathan Jones is eligible but it is strange he is not in that list of odds.

i lost the feed on my computer which crahsed and then i missed the interview

what was he saying?

We need to start a "Go Ricky" chant. If it's good enough for the great Ricky Lake, it's good enough for our boy! :D

That'll get the fans through the turnstiles!

[Gorgoroth 13,055]

That'll get the fans through the turnstiles!

Well done Ricky! I also have heard that Nathan Jones is eligible but it is strange he is not in that list of odds.

Neither Jones nor Petterd were listed when last weeks Darwin board closed around wednesday. Petterd would have been a lot better than $15.00 last week and Jones as a saver is worth a big go too. Exceptional value, I'm tempted to open a Sportsbet account right now.

Love watching Petterd and Jones play, early on you can already tell they are going to be great players for MFC. Hope there goood form continues. The Melbourne midfield combo of Jones and McLean will be unstoppable.

Even though Jones is eligible, I think they'll favour the new kids of 2007 and the fact that he already got his nomination last year.

Recent history BBP shows that 4 of the past 5 Rising Stars played the year before they won. Petterd of course could buck this trend.

interesting champ...maybe we should get down the tab and put 10 on jonesy then?

[Madness 44]

Jonesy isn't even listed in th odds.

And in the year of the exception (Deledio) our bloke, young Brock, was arguably leading the award when he fell at the last few hurdles with injury. McLean had played 9 the year before.
