[Mousey 47]

Thanks to Danihersghost on Demonology he posted what was said-

Don't know if anyone else caught this, KB spoke to him this morning here are some points from what i can remember

- spoke of the shock of his near death experience last year and how he was very nervous on his return last week but managed to get through the game without any problems

- spoke of DB's plans of a free flowing game plan where players would utilise there strengths (i.e running) and just grab the ball and run with it. was interested in one day playing in the middle but was comfortable playing of half back for the moment

- spoke highly of Simon Buckley and Shane Valenti and how Bucks has put on an amazing amount of strength over the preseason. KB noted he had chatted with Neil Balme about Buckley's promise as a player.

- Petterd amazed at how much he and his fellow teammates including vets such as Mcdonald had learned from Bailey, strong focus on improving skills

- Petterd very, very excited about this year thinks we will be good and urgerd supporters to get on board with membership and family day this weekend

-and finally, some great news, KB mentioned the prospect of Petterd returning to his home state if a Queensland team was set up, Petterd said he was extremely happy being in Melbourne where footy was 'like a religion' and had no intention of moving back to QLD. Told of his great friendships at the dees and exciting young talent

This bloke is definitely a future leader at our club. I really hope he can spend the next two years out on the park playing every game. He's a walk up start to our best 22 IMO at the age of 19.

Very poised young man, I feel comfortable when the ball is in his hands.
