ricky pettard.... is he worth picking up ?

[zohnn]

not sure if his nominated for any of the drafts .... was delisted so maybe can be signed as a delisted freeagent
we have lost mckinley ,warren and edwards of the main list .......from the games ive seen pettard plays similar roles and has also shown some potential for example the collingwood game cant remember if it was a draw or one point loss .......... he is injury prone however as a utilty he can be a great assest.
he would fit into our structure similar to what thomas role is ......not sure what the club have in mind delisting richardson enabling pick 63 would we pass and thus have a pick for pettard in preseason

 

[boneofshin]

Hell no.

 

[Zebrah]

Yeah, i think he will come good. I would look at him as a hbf option. Worth a rookie or late pick.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

No.

 

[Dan]

Mabon, Black, Daw are the future.

 

[Passmore]

No

 

[liam_13]

Petterd may be a lot better player then the likes of McKinley, but he is not going to improve our best 22.

So no.

 

[The Big H]

He's a better player than Speight or Richardson. I'd Rookie him in a heart beat.

 

[zohnn]

Petterd may be a lot better player then the likes of McKinley, but he is not going to improve our best 22.

So no.

delisted
mckinley,warren,edwards,campbell which the last two were regular forward line players .....
we all know that hansen and tarrant can go missing ........edwards was our other dimension lead up forward that been said black is a player which can replace him. i see daw and curran as key forwards to replace the big trio leaving black as the only depth as a medium forward. not to mention harper filling a harvey role with harvey been suspended.
petterd would be more of a suitable pickup than picking an 18yr forward that is going to take a yr or 2 to develop ,if his body is right he has shown that he can perform ......he doesnt have to be part of our best 22 but we know the key to a good side is best 25 to 26

 

[Arthur Cloke]

It's a definite maybe from me. I'd back end his contract so that if he's been crap after 1 year, I'd off-load him as a free-agent and its cost us nothing.

 

[ROSEMVP]

Kyle Reimers could be worth a look.

 

[NMFC 1811]

I wouldn't be totally against it. We do need a bit of depth after some of our departures. Myers from the Bombers would be one to look at also.

 

[The Chiefton]

Yes.

Doesn't mean we will though.

 

[Boozeroo]

I love his heart and courage. maybe a last rookie spot?

 

[WesternRoo]

I think he is worth a look.

 

[Jay-Z]

Bit of a list clogger but wouldn't mind using a rookie spot on him just as a "in the event of an emergency" type scenario

 

[Robertsonroo]

The Demons situation makes it interesting.......reports on both Gysbert and Ricky Pettard seem to have a common thread.......talented yet lack the 'work ethic required'. Pettard is a very likeable character who I see an an 'option' player (not a tall forward and not a small crumber) in the Corey Jones mould.
It's hard to get a handle on what was going on at Melbourne but I don't think it encouraged 'greatness' or provided motivation to the younger players like Gysbert and Pettard.

I reckon we could find a mature age player with one of our picks in the 40's that makes an immediate impact and won't piss his time on AFL list away

 

[year of the roo]

Rookie at best. But I'd rather have Max Warren, Speight and Richo than him.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Kyle Reimers could be worth a look.

I wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft boat.

 

[king of the road]

Didn't he retire cos his knee is shot? In that case... definite no.

 

[THE MOEMAN]

worth a rookie spot, has talent.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Didn't he retire cos his knee is shot? In that case... definite no.

Clint Bartram mate...

 

[AbbaRoos]

Pass. Much better options available including Richo and Speight

 

[Saintly31]

Yes for me.

If Sierakowski was worth being picked up then surely Pettard is worth a shot.....better than a few others on our list too if he is can get 100% fit.
