2012: Do not play finals

2012: Ricky Petterd is not on the list
2013: Ricky Petterd is on the list
2014: Ricky Petterd is on the list
2015: Ricky Petterd is on the list
2016: Ricky Petterd is not on the list

Now I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but this is pretty conclusive.

 

[tigs2010]

Honestly had no idea he was on our list last year.

 

[SumTingWong]

Genius. What are you doing for the next 3-4 years?

 

[_Cayz_]

Illuminati confirmed.

 

[captain cotch 9]

I thought all he was doing last year was handing out Decor bottles at the games?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

It's funny how he has the piss taken out of him yet sadly his efforts s**t all over many less maligned players.

 

[bigpapagman]

Yep. I liked Ricky. Gave us a hardened edge compared to some of the absolute Ashley Blurtons running around for us at the moment.

 

[UncleBob]

Had a few bad clangers here and there but knew where the goals were and was pretty hard at it. Could very much use him now..

 

[TigerImposter]

He's midfield coach for Coburg and we are 0-5

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

He's midfield coach for Coburg and we are 0-5

That's because Coburg are s**t.

My conclusion is that i've never seen a more conclusive conclusion

 

[Sassafras]

Same could be said about Matt McDonough..

On the list in
2013- finals.
2014- finals.
2015- finals.
Delisted and currently plays for North Adelaide Roosters.

Orren Stephenson also joined the club in 2013 when we made our first finals appearance in over a decade. He currently plays for North Ballarat (you guessed it) Roosters!

Hey TI
How is the senior coach going? Heard we went 'off tap' after the loss to the Frangers.
Tough draw ahead. He will need some meds.

Coburg will be ok. They get to play Richmond in round 9.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

nice observation

a little off topic, but did you know that 100% of people who consume water, die?

we need to stop drinking water...

 

[TigerImposter]

Actually he's been fantastic with the young kids and he's done a lot of work with their tackling and body positioning when inside the the guts as they are lightweights.

another honorable loss played with 19 men after half time.Definitely a long season for the boys,but the coach has been fantastic after losing 6 senior players. The club knew it was going to be a long season and one sacrificed in development and rebuilding.
yep lost 4/5 games by less than 2 kicks hurts,but we took it up to Box Hill so there's light at the end of the tunnel

 

[smasha]

Didn't tank and play crooks at the trade table.

Good stuff. Close losses against beatable teams can be soul destroying for young blokes but sounds like there have been some pretty gritty efforts.
Hopefully Amad not out for too long. Nice to get a few wins on the board.
Always had respect for the lions - learned early not to rile Mansa & big Brad back in the day. It made for an uncomfortable afternoon.
Old Laurie Burt was a champion bloke. Also 'Mr Roller Derby' Alan Eade.
Go Bullants!

Maybe he needs Rance to go and "calm him down"

[docko911]
