Toast Drew Petrie Appreciation Thread

[Moose1414]

I thought that was just the assumption, and when asked about it last week he said realistically it was probably his last season. Not sure he wouldn't be open to it if the club asked the question. I'm not expecting them too, just wondering whether people think the idea has some merit given his form this season and our ruck/key forward depth.

 

[Crimson King]

What a man. Has tried his guts out for the club in every game he has played.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sets the standard on field right now. Shame that only a select few follow.

 

[Moose1414]

Putting it back out there, what reason other than his age is there not to go around again next season. Vardy's joined Nic and Lycett on the injury list since I asked the question a week ago and Petrie's just played arguably his best game for the eagles, as our number 1 ruck no less. This is depth we actually need.

 

[WCFaithful]

I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him for another year. He shows how to play with ticker at least and he still does some good things. Both him and Mitchell could be offered another 12 months and I wouldn't be upset in the slightest

 

[Biggie]

Cannot question this blokes integrity for a single solitary minute.

Fantastic character.

 

[Boohemian]

Wish he had played his whole career with us, absolute legend.

 

[Ochre]

Tried to switch across the ground with a torp. Deserves an extra year just for that.

 

[FKASC]

Cmon let's not forget he once played for Norf. Probably good mates with Boomer Harvey and various other assorted campaigners

Yep. Boomer was a groomsman and Drew's wedding.

Seriously poor post. You do realise Martin is 30 and one of the best rucks in the comp, no?

Seriously shit post tho.

not at all never been impressed by petrie yes he tries but his efforts are always found wanting takes a team mate to save his ass repeatedly. we are the only team that would play him, how many years have the roos tried to replace him they even recruited another old man to do it.
oh you do realise that saying someone else post is shit automatically makes yours shit, we all have our own opinions i just dont like mediocre senior players taking the place of youth, petrie epitomizes everything wrong with our squad

Jesus, how anybody could criticise one of the few bright spots this year is beyond me.

Who is he keeping out? McInnes? Giles? There's the future of the club right there...

Mate no point arguing about with him. Once he makes his mind up about a player, it won't change. Just ask him about redden and he won't have much positives about him.

i have no idea how you can call him a bright spot beggars belief, you do realise we won more games without him than with him. to say he's good is to love mediocrity. but hey thats just my opinion yours is obviously different lets just hope we can build for a flag

So who should have played as starting ruck instead of Petrie today?

And did you just call Stefan Martin a "younging"?

Turn it up mate ! I didn't want Petrie but he has been great . If you deny it you don't know what your talking about . He has battled hard in the ruck , making a contest when the ball goes to ground , taking great marks around the ground and gave us a focal point when kennedy was injured .

I think that Fraser ship has sailed.

Your weird hatred of Petrie is bemusing and somewhat peculiar.

Sure, if he was crabbing it up all over the place (like 2016) sure you'd have an argument. But this 2017 version off Drew, well he is making you look quite silly.

Right now, he shits, absolutely shits on Fraser as an option.

Full credit to this bloke, gives 100% every-time.

Drew deserves praise for that, not persecution.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Martin had very little impact on the game today. Petrie did a great job.

are you on the mc? explains where we are at

That's decent for a 34 year old. Putting my fat, lazy 28 year old self to shame. Add in the dive to save the goal- he was excellent today.

IMO- if we can keep him on the rookie list, he's done enough to earn another year. He's been excellent cover.
