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.

good on the kid, i also to have heard him speak...

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

 

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


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! :blink:

 
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?

Jonesy isn't even listed in th odds. :huh:

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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
