Said on MMM by Dr Smooth that he actually lost consciousness in the medical rooms under the interchange bench and that he was to be taken via ambulance to the Epworth but they decided to wait for a MICA Ambulance as he was in such a bad way. I have to admit I really felt for his family who may have been listening via the internet - the MMM team kept going on about how bad it was - must be shocking for his family to be so far away hearing that.

His season is more than likely over but I just want to wish his a speedy recovery and wish him all the best.

He'll be alright! I've had collapsed a lung before... it hurts like you would not believe, and at the time it feels like youre going to die until they reinflate your lung... But he'll be alright.

Will most likely miss the rest of the season though. But, will be red-ripe ready to go come pre-season time.

Good luck Ricky, who knows, maye with a speedy recovery he may be able to push for selection again later in the year, though i doubt they would risk him. Bring on 08... :rolleyes:

I don't remember seeing the incedent?

Whe did it happen?

Good luck mate, hope its all good from now on.

Very early - within the first 10 minutes of the game. Dr Peter Larkins was all over it on MMM and to be honest I thought he was just over-sensationalising it like he always does. The more he kept talking, though, I soon realised how serious it was. The fact that they sent the "normal" ambulance away and waited for the MICA when the Epworth is 2 mintues away was what got me worried. Poor kid - we met him at the kids clinic and he seems like a nice bloke - very young and living his dream - just shows you have to make the most of what's thrown your way....

Are we going to be able to find 22 players to take to BrisVegas?????

Well i hope he recovers well.

Get yourself right for 08 pet's.

Here's wishing Ricky a speedy recovery.

He's been playing some great footy for us....pity this year had to finish early and like this. Time to be ready for 2008.

Take care Ricky

On the radio they said when he got hit he doubled over straight away and pointed to his sternum indicating he had breathing problems. As he was going off the field, the ball came near him so he made an attempt to go for it again before heading to the bench - what courage, guts, determination - everything we need in our players!

i just watched the replay and i saw him run off but didn't see anything that else, he ran to a contest and the when godfrey got a free he turned around and came off, must have happened earlier and he stayed out there for a few minutes after the collision.

You can actually see that on the TV coverage, geez it was brave and gutsy knowing in hindsight what condition the bloke was in and how he must have been feeling. Inspirational really and the sort of character we want wearing the red and blue jumper.

Anyone with the match on tape its with the clock on 13:54 remaining in the first qtr you see him with a doctor about 10m away from the bench, but the ball comes in his area he runs away to a contest before jogging off again about 20 seconds later.

Doesnt seem there is anything shown as to how it happened, except for the commentary as he comes off Denis Cometti refers to the niggle that had been taking place between Walker and Petterd in the early part of the game.

Thank god he's alright, wish him all the best in the recovery and we'll look forward to seeing him back in 2008!

I thought that 2. I think it will be a while till he gets back to AFL and then form will be an issue. Really really sad. Just hope he gets better.

Thankfully, it's nowhere near as bad according to this article in the Age - DEMONS YOUNGSTER STABLE AFTER LUNG INJURY.

"Club officials said last night that Petterd, who came from the ground in the first term of the match against Carlton at the MCG, was in a stable condition although he was likely to miss at least a month of football."

Probably should take the rest of the season off and come back fitter and stronger next year.

It was a show of genuinely amazing courage from the young man, in what must have been horribly painful circumstances......

I will join the chorus in wishing him all the best for a full and speedy recovery.

said quick thinking by the doctors saved his life, lets all give the doctors a big hand, they deserve it

And to say thanks to those that took care of him so well.

It is an absolute credit to the club, and to us as supporters, that our medical staff was capable of saving his life.

Get well soon Ricky, and take care of yourself :) !!!

Who said this was a soft game nowdays.....

I am a bit confused though. Has he also got a broken rib or something? The article said a punctured lung.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
