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:

Is being reported on sportal.com.au that Ricky was " Close To Death"

Thank god the young bloke is out of immediate danger

Get well soon Petts, see you in 2008

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

I think i remember i series of play where it looked like he threw himself over the ball a couple of times around pack of players in our defensive 50 early in the first. I wouldn't be suprised if this was where the incident happened.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
