Pets Delisted

[astro_toby]

After 4 seasons
Pettifer 37 games & 24 goals
Meyer 17 games & 7 goals
You are right he hadn't done much but we know he can cut it. Morton and Brown get injured and Pettifer can come in when he's well. Meyer was never well.

and you have to even take into account there that Pettifer didn't have injury issues.

I am a fan of Petts though - i think he is probably one of the most passionate tiger players - and one that can knit the squad together off-field.

but he can't expect that to save him - he is meant to be a footballer, not a social butterfly.

Whoever it is, they'll go better than Petts on crutches.

 

[deliberate!!]

I dunno who he thinks he is, but the explanations I can think of are -
1. He wanted to try his luck in the pre season draft. He would have no chance.
2. He's lost the passion to play
3. He wants to return to WA and play some form over there, maybe in the WAFL.
4. This rumour is false.
It doesn't quite add up to me, maybe I'm missing something. We were going to axe two players off the primary list, and put one on the rookie list. But he didn't want to, would just rather be axed. So we somehow only have to delist one, and Petts is saved? I don't get it, the rookie list is independent of the primary list. Having one less rookie doesn't entitle us to an extra player on the primary list.

Rumours come from outside the club.....invent your own reason then.

Not having a go mate, just trying to suss the situation out.

Please release petts let him go.
cos the Tigers dont love him anymore.
for petts to stay on is a sin.
so release him and throw him in the bin

Seeing as it appears that Petts is staying I think its safe to close this thread for the time being.
