there's a fair amount of banter that Daniel Harris wants out at NM and I'm now thinking that perhaps we should offer the young fella a yellow and blac jumper that he has always craved. At 27 next yr his value has waned...a direct trade for Pettifer would be reasonable for all parties. Get it done:thumbsu:
 
why tf would we want pettifer?
hes not even as good as corey jones

but if u really want harris

well take cotchin, thursfield and ur 2nd rounder

Sorry BJ but the Kangas are getting ripped in that trade since Petts wont be able to play most of next year.

While at his age Harris' value has waned, Petts value has dropped even further. We would have to do better.

If Petts wasnt out with an ACL, sure, but not now.
 
am i the only 1 that feels a bit sorry for pettifer?????
he was a gun when brown got injured. he kicked a few goals a game and had an influence.
now we have brown back we want to kick him out the door.
if there is no trade for him then i say keep him.............

i reckon he's an alright player and his record over last few years was pretty solid, unfortunatley for him we've changed the mix of the front half with Morton, a fit Browny and most recently connors has been added, there's no going back now...best for all parties that he can find a home elsewhere...i feel for him that he did his knee, as his prospects are a fair bit slimmer than what they would have been
 
Keep Pettifer. Good sides have depth and if Morton and Brown got injured Pettifer would slip right in.
Cracks me up how Pettifer gets slagged off yet Brown escapes the same scrutiny.
Pettifer would be on less coin. In the past 5 years Pettifer has kicked 110 goals in 82 games to Brown's 127 in 69. Not bad considering Pettifer is hardly ever the first option. (We kick it to Richo and Browny 80% of the time).
In that time Pettifer has had 138 tackles to Browns 111.

I think pettifer for a pack of twisties is a fair swap.
 
It would be a good deal for us, as things stand. I don't agree, though, that he is a hack. In a good team, he would probably shine.

But, yeah, no one will probably be that keen for his services, especially given his long-term injury.

Isn't he out for a long time with a knee?

Harris probably would add something to the tigers, however I doubt he would get an opportunity for a regular spot with all the young "STARS" we having playing for coburg.

He would just end up getting hounded out like Tivendale did:mad:

the dude has smart hands and can steer his way through heavy traffic.
Roos need more outside and he was put to the sword because of it, we have it outside, get him. ;)
 
he offers some size at the contest that is a vital ingredient at CRUNCH time particulary against those sides we MUST beat in 2009 such as crows saints etc...if we could snaffle him cheaply Id take him, I earlier thought Cogs could step into the role im talking however Ive lost confidence seeing him in VFL finals

no more room for thinking BJ, we need to know that we can get maximum games in a season, before we go into it. You cant plan out a season, when you dont know if who your plan has in it, will be there or not. ;)
 
IF Petts had not gotten injured, I reckon we would have got a sniff from the likes of Sydney & perhaps Freo but his recco has done 2 things IMO:

- Stuffed his chances of making a move at this time
- Stuffed our chances of getting any value for him

Problem is, we can cut him loose now & get nothing or keep him on but then how do we get some game time into him late next year to up his trade value late 2009?

I reckon he will get a 1 year deal, (some sort of reduced $) & come back at Coburg where he will have to impress potential recruiters for next years trade period.

Then perhaps a 3rd rounder?

No-one is gonna win on this one...

Exactly. Even if Pettifer wasn't injured, I doubt there would be much interest out there for him. Played most of the year with Coburg.

You are the most bias mod at bigfooty

You know SFA about football

Pettifer wont attract much interest but Grigg and walker are superstars:rolleyes:
