Footygoss has a feature called BEST OF THE '06 DRAFT SO FAR and Ricky Petterd is considered fourth best.

4. Pick No. 30 Ricky Petterd (Melbourne) – Starred in his debut against Sydney in Round 5 and continued his good form against Port Adelaide in the following match. Looks like a poised player already. Averaging 17 disposals per game.

Best game: Rd 5 v Sydney: 20 possessions, one goal

The articles says that only four of the top ten selections have made their debuts at the half way point of the year, while some of the lower selections like the number one selection, Alwyn Davey (No 36 pick), have had an immediate impact.

    CAC does it again

    After reading the article I can not see why Ricky isnt rated higher. He has averaged the most disposals out of all of the mentioned.

    Ricky has been great.

    But saying that one player is better than another simply because of the number of possessions they get is nonsense.

    I wonder why we did not take the option on Alwyn when we had the chance??

    When you say 'had the chance', our chance was to draft him at 12 (which we used for Frawley) or 30 (Petterd). I wouldn't be giving up either for Davey. Good luck to him at Essendon, but with his older brother, we have the upgrade on Alwyn.

    Think Krypton may have been referring to the end of the 05 season when he trained with us

    No worries.

    In any event, I'm not unhappy we didn't end up with Alwyn. As fun as it would be for a while to see the two Daveys running around the ground like rabid mongeese mowing down opponents together, I don't like the idea of having two so very slightly built players in the one part of the ground doing a very similar job.

    The instant need to grade drafts is one of my pet peeves, we are 11 rounds into the season and I don't know why we are ranking them. Maybe they should have done an article about some of the surprise packets like Nathan Krakour instead.

    well done petterd, i think he is easily as good as the other 3 above him, id prob have gibbs number 1

    too bad davey cant win rising star, havent seen much of hawkins yet

    Hawkins killed us. 4 goals in the second quarter. They must have a selective breeding policy down there with all their top quality F/S selections...

    Was Jake King from Richmond drafted last year? If so id say he should be higher on the list then Krakour and Lindsay Thomas. Not so much for potential but King has played good consistent footy since his debut.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
