He does actually ;D
Seriosly a bit early for other club's cast being allowed to train with other clubs.
Firstly, they have this weeks latest FA thing to get through, you know the one for all de-lsited players
Secondly and most importantly you need AFL permission to do it and there isn't any list on the AFL site right now
-
He may or may not be training with us.
I reported it first.

Yep no one on the "permission to train list" for us. A sign we won't be picking up any recycled types with our 4 picks which is good.

No, you ain't.
Yeah I am

Okay ppl, back to the topic. As we've mentioned numerous times previously OER is not a vehicle for nor are we interested in discussions about what other forums are like.

Is that a hint RFCO that we will be considering picking up a recycled player in the draft?

Petterd ?

I would think that some clubs are waiting for this latest FA period for de-listed players to finish to see who's left over before they ask de-listed blokes to train

Poor mans pettifer
Also has an account on big footy, is a mod on the fashion board

Who, Mrakov, Coach or Petterd? Everyone seems to be a mod on something or other nowadays. ;D

Ricky Petterd up for grab at second chance
Jon Ralph
From: Herald Sun
November 11, 2012
FORMER Melbourne forward Ricky Petterd has been invited to train with Richmond next week as he seeks to resuscitate a career that has stalled at just 24.
Petterd yesterday said he was desperate for another chance - most likely as a rookie - after revealing his achilles soreness was so painful he struggled to walk at times this year.
The talented mid-sized forward underwent surgery after Round 18, and was subsequently delisted by Melbourne on the last day of the trade period.
Petterd knocked back a lucrative Gold Coast offer just two years ago, and is aware how quickly his reputation has slumped.
Richmond is one of several Victorian clubs considering him as a rookie option, and Petterd says he is training hard for a second chance.
"I have had a couple of chats with Richmond and a couple of other clubs, so I will just have a run around with them," he said.
"I kind of had an idea it was coming. I had a couple of years with injury and I am a realist - footy clubs can't hold on to players forever. For 20 months I have had a really bad achilles and it was grounding me. I lost a lot of pace and jump.
"It was affecting my mechanics with the way I ran, and then I started doing hammies and calves. I wasn't being honest about how my body was feeling. Halfway through the year I couldn't walk when I got out of bed.
"The pain was excruciating, but I tried to get through it and I knew I was playing for a contract or to impress other clubs and I kept playing."
Surgery to ease the pressure on the sheath that surrounds his achilles was successful, with Petterd working recently with former teammate and personal trainer Daniel Bell to regain fitness.
He can run with only minimal pain, and given the lack of scar tissue has no doubt his best football is ahead of him.
The 54-game player says he had no regrets about knocking back the Gold Coast's cash as well as other rival offers to stay put at the end of 2010.
"(My career) has turned around a fair bit," he says.
"I had a chat with other clubs too, and knocked them back to give Neeldy (Mark Neeld) a chance. It wasn't his fault what happened. It was me. But I definitely feel like I can get back to that early-2010 form.
"If a rookie spot came available somewhere, I would be stoked. I would have that year to prove myself and fit in, and try to go from there."
Petterd was a regular in Dean Bailey's forward line during the much-scrutinised late-2009 games, but is adamant he was never given instructions not to try to win matches.
"Yeah, it was a little confusing but we got told by Bails he was trying to play people in different positions to see what they had to offer, and we have to take his word on that, and I do.
"He was really good to me, and he backed me in, so that will all unfold under time. There was definitely no talk in the locker room of whatever is being discussed in the media at the moment," Petterd said.

Hmmm hope he has the heart of a lion like our Coach Davey and not a pea heart.

Don't mind rookie(ing) him but he can get back to 100% fitness. So what is the point in rookie(ing) him if he has a slight injury problem?

Maybe it has something to do with this little sentence in today's Australian by Greg Denham:
An Achilles tendon injury will prevent former Melbourne forward Ricky Petterd from training with Richmond over the next few weeks, but the Tigers will still consider him in the rookie draft.

Regardless of if he can fill a need or not, this guy is way too injury prone for me.

He sounds lame sadly for him.

Yeah he's not actually training with us, Ralphy got that wrong.

Good!
Does Adam Marric have a chance to be rookied with us or are we just allowing him to train with us to stay fit in hope of another club giving him a go?

We're picking Petterd up

Did you ask your pal CC over a slab?

Injury is probably a ruse to turn other clubs off him so they can pick him up late in rookie draft.
If we can get Toy, Stephenson & Petterd as back up rookies I would say that is pretty good.
-
Petterd, Toy and one of Wood/Orren isn't too bad for rookies I guess.
-
dont we have only 2 rookie spots available?

Beat me to it al
Would love it if someone could confirm what the total number of rookies clubs can have in 2013
Is it 4 or 6?
Had heard it was going back to 4 but clubs were going to "fight" city hall over it ;D
-
dont we have only 2 rookie spots available?
Depends how many we put on the main list. We have 8 spots available with at least 4 of them having to go on senior list. Our list will comprise of 44 players total. We have 36 currently 34 + 2.

:o

Not a big surprise.

good pick

lets hope the achillies is all ok :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
If so he will be a handy pick up forward line could look dangerous

Ricky Petterd profile
Date of birth: 24/7/1988
Height: 185cm
Weight: 85kg
Former clubs: Melbourne, Broadbeach (QLD)
AFL games: 54
AFL goals: 55
Richmond’s first pick (No. 7 overall) in today’s 2013 AFL rookie draft has been used on former Melbourne forward Ricky Petterd.
The 185cm, 85kg, 24-year-old was delisted by the Demons at the end of the 2012 season after a 54-game career that netted him 55 goals.
Petterd, who made his senior league debut in 2007 after being recruited from Queensland club Broadbeach (pick 30 overall in the 2006 National Draft), averaged 13.7 disposals per game in his time at Melbourne.
He received an AFL Rising Star nomination in his ’07 debut season and, in just his ninth game (against Carlton), suffered a potentially life-threatening collapsed lung, after copping a heavy knock, which resulted in him being hospitalised for more than a week.
During the 2012 season, Petterd was hampered by a nagging Achilles injury that restricted to just four senior appearances.
At his peak, Petterd is a dangerous proposition up forward due to his mobility, creativity, and aerial ability.

If fit, he's exactly the type we lack.
Hopefully one of Knights, Petterd or AEdwards works out..
-
Really, really happy with this selection. Ricky is a very talented footballer who just needs the right guidance and I think we have the coaching staff required to get the best out of him. :thumbsup :clapping
-
happy with this pick and the way the Tiges and Pettard seemed to be laying false trails leading up to today.
-
The only one of the 4 that I would have picked myself for us. If he can overcome injury concerns then he will play and be a very handy player.

Then Ricky will probably be injured too. FFS :banghead

Obviously you do to be so forthright at such an early stage. So let him play a few games and we will catch up again for a post mortem where one of us will be fired.

pedro was a bloody good player played footy against him.
reckon ricky has talent but a couple of real queries as usual.
why another forward we took edwards and we took knights. arent we in need of mids. obviously not.
on petterd himself 24 yo supposed forward . but he doesnt kick goals for what ever reason. doesnt have a big defensive side to his game hes not done a lot in what 6 or 7 yrs at melbourne and hes managed just 50 odd games in that time.
just putting it out there. imo there were better options available to us both in performance and list needs. ah well i suppose there will be those who squeal like stuck pigs complaining about being negative.
i recall i wanted max duffy last yr and got laughed at.
-
This guy was a natural born goal kicker until injuries cruelled his career. 2 years back. He can mark and really puts his head over the ball, he ll get his chance and prove to be a bargain :shh
-
With the recruitment of Edwards and Petterd it's clear we want more marks taken i50. Addressing a very real need cheaply, hope at least one works.
-
Shifting the focus off Jack I reckon MM, makes us much harder to match up on down forward and gives our mids multiple viable targets.
-
Pick 7: Ricky Petterd
Jackson says: He's very talented and has unfortunately been a bit hamstrung with injury but we certainly remember back to his good years where he could impact at AFL level and I remember him fondly from his performances as an 18-year-old. Hopefully he can have a bit of luck on the injury stakes.

He spoke very confidently. I hope he is as confident in his body holding up.

What was interesting from his interview is that he is already training and ready to go. Thought he was injured. Did we pull a shifty? :whistle

Yes, that is my mail. Every other club was lining up until we told everyone he was injured

so long as he's not petterd out......
-
Petterd revealed how an ongoing Achilles injury had stalled his career for the past two years.
''I haven't felt this good in two years, and running-wise I'm pulling up really good,'' he said.
Without a club to train with, Petterd was forced to prepare mostly by himself during the off-season.

Will say he does present (speak) well in interviews
Ditto Lonergan

I love how our club has been playing smart shenanigans ever since we appointed a shenanigans coordinator to the football dept late last year. :thumbsup
In the past we had to rely on Wallace and Frawley to coordinate shenanigans and look at how that turned out! ::)

Believe we over recruited tried players in rookie draft. Hope he provides something to the club.

In the latest training video, it showed Petterd running laps which presumably means he is in the rehab group. So he may still be recovering from some injury?

That will happen when you're carrying leg injuries. I feel Petterd will have to be 100% fit to have an impact.

OH RICKY
Ricky Petterd, the former Demon confronted his old team in his first game in yellow and black. Interestingly the medium forward was used as a loose man in defence, acting as sweeper. Richmond last year liked to play a loose man behind the ball and slingshot the ball forward. Petterd didn't get a lot of the ball in this role but worked across to help cover for Steven Morris or others to run forward. He went forward with the press to mark well late.

Petterd 'rejuvenated' in Tiger defence
By Mitch Cleary
afl.com.au
Friday, March 1, 2013
RICHMOND recruit Ricky Petterd says he has been “rejuvenated” by a move to the backline since arriving at Punt Road.
Petterd made his name as a medium-forward for Melbourne before being delisted at the end of last year, leaving Richmond to secure his services via the rookie draft.
Speaking ahead of Saturday night’s NAB Cup clash against Essendon in Wangaratta, Petterd said he had enjoyed the change as he pushes for a spot on the senior list.
"I'm down back at the moment and since I've got to Richmond I've started training with the backline,"Petterd said.
"It's rejuvenated me, just to start fresh and it's been a new challenge for me to learn their structures after playing forward for four or five years.
"It's something I've missed when I went a bit stale up forward and it's good to be running off half-back again.
"Just the camaraderie between the backline, it's really strong. Even at Melbourne it was really strong and they always did things together. It's something I want to be a part of.
"Dimma's (coach Damien Hardwick) put a bit of faith in me to put me back there and given me a few roles to play."
Petterd said a berth on the senior list was there for him should his form and fitness warrant selection.
"He (Hardwick) said 'we've got you in here, you can play footy and we want you to get your body right'," Petterd said.
"He said to me at the start when I first got here he expects me to play at some stage, it all depends on how the pre-season goes and how I'm going during the year."

Would love this bloke to come good. He provides increased flexibility in what is already a very flexible unit.
-
Out of Lonergan, Petterd and Stephenson, Petterd will be the only player that has the ability to be a very good player and hang around for a long time.

It will be good when he actually does something

He could be our Bob Murphy :shh

That's funny.

Think they will elevate him to the senior list, we have one more spot left.

If he keeps playing like he did last week then he will deserve it.

Got a lot of upside.

Smart player. Understands the game. Will be a good pick up.

Won us the game tonight. Thats not bad :gotigers
-
How many competition point is that worth
-
The question is who's better, pettard or lonergan?
We haven't seen lonergan yet.
-
Can have an impact at both ends of the ground.
In the home and away season he may be handy as a sub coming on into the fwd line to kick a few goals and change a game given what we have seen in the last two weeks.
Lets see how he goes against the Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn Sydney of this league.

The force? What force?
My 11 week old malamute's waging tail has more force than that :rollin
Wonder if the Bombers bloke was looked at for staging?

i thought he was just stroking that girl's hair and asking for her phone number :huh

Kommer hasn't even played a proper game and I hate the idiot.
Faux tough guy.

Dimma’s ‘Pet’ project
By richmondfc.com.au
Monday, March 4, 2013
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick is convinced mature-age recruit Ricky Petterd can become a valuable long-term contributor at Tigerland.
“Look, he’s still got a little way to go to learn our system, but we certainly think we’ve picked up a player that can contribute.
“He played his early career at Melbourne at half-back, and that’s probably where we think he played his best footy.

Honest Ricky listening to his body talk
By Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
LEARNING how to be honest with himself has been a key factor in Ricky Petterd overcoming a pesky Achilles injury and being elevated to Richmond's senior list.
The 24-year-old has spent the summer building his fitness at his new home of Punt Road following surgery on his left Achilles in August last year.
He's played four NAB Cup games and impressed in a role off half-back, and is now in contention for Thursday night's clash with Carlton at the MCG.
None of this would have happened had he not started to listen to his body more often – something he didn't do in his six seasons at Melbourne.
"If I pulled up sore, I wouldn't have said anything at Melbourne and just continued to train until it was too late," Petterd told AFL.com.au after his promotion from rookie status.
"It's something I've promised myself I won't let happen again, just to make sure I'm on top of [the Achilles] and the physios know exactly where I'm at.
"They've really looked after me. I'm not saying Melbourne didn't, they looked after me well, but I probably wasn't honest with them about how I was feeling.
"The fitness staff have known where I've been and where they want to get me to."
It's this newfound honesty, combined with elevated-heeled footwear and a two-year ban on wearing rubber thongs that has helped Petterd overcome issues with both Achilles.
They plagued him for 22 months before the right one improved, leaving him requiring surgery on just the left side after his last game for Melbourne in round 17 last season.
"There was a little bit of running mechanics about it," he said.
"The shoes and boots I was wearing, I didn't know anything else but it was probably a lot to do with that so I changed and it seemed to help.
"I've got orthotics and my heel raises are pretty big. I don't have to wear them as big as I did anymore because my Achilles is really good and I don't have any issues.
"I'm always wearing shoes that are high heeled or very supportive shoes. That's something I had to look into; how my feet work and what's good for them."
The running-defender role Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has given Petterd is a throwback to the position he played under Neale Daniher in his first season at Melbourne.
Petterd believes a case can be mounted to say it's where he played his best football at AFL level.
"It's something I think needed to happen for me because I was going a bit stale up forward at Melbourne and I was crying out to play a new position," he said.
"I really took that on board as a challenge and I just worked my arse off to impress them and do what I can and earn the respect of the other players in the backline.
"It's a bit of a different role to what I have played and I just really look forward to hopefully putting it out there in the home and away season."
That could be as early as Thursday night, following the promotion of Petterd and former Geelong ruckman Orren Stephenson to the senior list under the nominated rookie rule.
Hardwick rang Petterd last Monday night ahead of Tuesday's 2pm deadline to tell him the good news; news the former Demon said had come earlier than he expected.
"He just said, 'Well done, we're going to upgrade you and 'O'', and I was really happy for 'O' as well because he's been training really hard and hasn't put a foot wrong so it was great for him," he said
"It's really good for confidence. Since I've been at Richmond I haven't missed a beat with training, I haven't had any niggles and I haven't missed a session.
"I haven't done that since probably 2007.
"I've been around the caper long enough to know that doesn't guarantee good football but it guarantees your chance to compete and I look forward to doing that."

Petterd debut worth the wait
richmondfc.com.au
Monday, April 8, 2013
Ricky Petterd’s Richmond debut came a week later than expected, but it was well worth the wait.
After working his way into contention for the Tigers’ season-opener against Carlton last week, the former Demon was forced to sit out with groin soreness.
On Friday night against St Kilda, Petterd made a brilliant start to his Tigerland career, picking up 20 disposals and taking eight marks in his new-found role across half back.
“I loved it. The first week I got here they put me down back, and I found it as a challenge,” Petterd told Roar Vision after the match.
“The coaches put a lot of confidence in me, which gave me confidence, and to play with those boys down back just lifts me up.”

Petterd fits right in at new Tigers home
By Andrew McGarry
abc.net.au
Sat Apr 6, 2013
Former Demon Ricky Petterd says he has found a home at Richmond in an unfamiliar backline role, after he helped the Tigers to a 17-point win over St Kilda.
Petterd had a hit-and-miss career at Melbourne, kicking 55 goals in 54 games in six injury-interrupted seasons for the Demons before leaving the club at the end of last season.
Coming to Punt Road, however, he was given a new role in the backline, and the signs were promising on Friday night as he picked up 20 possessions and eight marks in a solid Tigers debut.
Richmond held on in the final quarter against a surging Saints side to win 14.15 (99) to 12.10 (82), going 2-0 to start the season for the first time in 16 years.
Petterd told Grandstand it was a great feeling to hear the famous "Tigerland" song after the siren.
"I was going through a tough time (last year) with my feet and achilles, I knew it was probably my time was up at Melbourne and I accepted that early," he said.
"I was lucky enough to be given a chance by Richmond and I will be forever grateful for it.
"The siren went and I probably carried on a bit, but I got goosebumps - it's a great feeling (hearing the Tigers' song)."

Petterd's new role across the backline has allowed former Tigers' captain Chris Newman to float forward.
He lamented some inaccuracy in his disposal, saying he wished he had brought Newman's kicking boots with him to the ground.
"I turned it over a bit, but releasing him (Newman) up forward will benefit us, I think," he said.
"Playing the spare (in defence) I think there's a few blokes in our team that can do it now."
Petterd said the Richmond team had plenty of on-field leadership, starting with new captain Trent Cotchin - 31 possessions and five tackles - who lifted his side when needed in the final term.
"I only think you have to look as far as Cotchin, what he does in the last quarter of tight games, he just injects himself into the game and makes it his responsibilty to get us up and going and over the line," he said.
"The good thing is now we've got it (leadership) through all the lines.
"We've got Chappy (former Port Adelaide player Troy Chaplin) down back now, it was as vocal out there in the last five minutes as it was in the first five.
"And we've got Jack (Riewoldt, who scored seven goals) and the boys down forward, it's just a spread throughout the ground, I think."
Petterd acknowledged it would be difficult to hold his spot in a side on the rise, with plenty of competition for places.
"It's going to be super tough," he said.
"I've got to go out and play every game as if it's my last, and that's what I intend to do."

already one of my fav players, he had me at hello :shh
-
:lol bojangles in his finest form. :clapping
-
footskills even though we have won both games is killing us. any one with a pair of eyes can see his kicking will never ever improve its always been a knock on his game.
play petterd for his aggression or play houli for his footskills. combine the two and you would have a good player. atm play one over the other and your damned if you do damned if you dont.
we are miles behind other sides in accountability defensive structure and skills. ya know theres a simple solution drop both petterd and houli and play vlastuin and helbig who bring a well rounded game to the table. defensive ability accountability and skill geez that would be novel with our players.
but hey we have won two games in ordinary fashion we dont need to improve. gotta love the blinkered ones.

Great senior return from a serious achillies injury. We may have found a very cheap player here previously consigned to the scrap heap.

The #13 seems to have found a spot in the back six in the eyes of the coach.

Not sold yet

Was good again today, shut Gia out of the games and he's been reasonable form for the doggies

Agree petterd was good today,although I think beating Gia aint no biggie these days ,the poor kid creaks everytime he moves

Dear oh dear how is this guy getting a game week in and week out.I thought Dimma and his crew knew better,and we were over picking players who cant kick :banghead.No wonder we go backwards.

Petterd to glitter in clash with the Suns
Murray Wenzel
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
The Cairns Post
WHEN Tiger Ricky Petterd was growing up on the Gold Coast his school did not even have an AFL team.
Instead the youngster found himself at fullback for the rugby union side.
Aussie rules was very much a niche that the Glitter Strip was only just cottoning on to.
"It wasn't big back then," the 24-year-old said.
"I was the only one that could kick, so they put me at fullback and I did enjoy my rugby, but I just loved footy.
"I loved the camaraderie amongst the boys."
After making a few Queensland teams in his early teens, Petterd got a sniff of what lay ahead and the Broadbeach talent was picked up by the Melbourne Demons in the 2006 draft.
Today the Gold Coast has its own AFL club and many teams competing in the NEAFL Petterd's dad Wayne is on the Broadbeach coaching staff.
"My dad's always travelling with the team and it's good to see young kids enjoying their AFL up there," Petterd said.
One of Richmond's savvy off-season recruits, the midfielder now calls himself a Tiger and after an injury lay-off will be pushing for a spot in Cairns to line up against his home time.
He is relishing the chance to help Richmond to their first finals appearance since 2001.
"From where I've come from at Melbourne to now; my body's finally in shape and I'm happy to be part of a winning culture," he said.
"We keep doing what we're doing and we'll go places."
A Tigers fan as a youngster, he has had no problem buying into the historic club.
"I'm a Queenslander through and through, but I remember as a kid supporting them and you saw the downsides too. That's why it's pretty exciting for me every day (to be part of a team pushing for finals)."
"It's why we all play and with the old boys who haven't played finals yet and the Tiger faithful we've got 60,000 members now we've got to reward them."
Petterd does not carry the scars of the two previous defeats to the Suns in Cairns
"They are a dangerous club; they've got some good kids and if you're not up to your standards they'll demolish you," he said.

Better option than Dea or Batchelor.
-
A very canny recruit was petterd, FJ, does it again :clapping
-
we have a plethora of med sized backmen and just three medium sized forwards including petterrd. yet we decide to play such a poorly skilled player in defense. give me mcintosh dea or even play vlastuin down back anyday.
no wonder we cant take the next step. the plethora of players with below standard skills is getting back to the 2009 model richmond.i suppose the redeeming features hes good in the air and a decent size for his height.

A very canny recruit was petterd, FJ, does it again :clapping
BJ has Francis in your opinion got any pick wrong?
The kid has played 5 games hardly earth shattering.
His game v Collingwood was noteworthy for all the wrong reasons.
Hardly a canny pick but still deserves another shot at it at this stage.
-
Defenders should kick well

Defenders should kick well
Like Rance

Key Position Defenders are an exception.

Batchelor is a better mark. Petterd's game against Collingwood was woeful. Agree deserves a chance. Needs to produce a blinder against suns if he plays.

TV , be fair mate, the collingwood game was the only bad one he played, he s contributed well in all the others. Cotch has put in a few bad ones too you know

Petterd played crap against Freo too

Taylor,
Roberts
Turner
Mitch farmer
Gee wizz they pale into insignificance when you consider the diamonds we keep turning up from anywhere in the first round. FJ has an eye like a dead fish for talent :shh
-
Defenders should kick well
Like Rance
in his case he should also learn to defend well.

Cotch does have a lot more credits may I add.

Geelong are suffering this week from a major dilemma on who to rest from the senior team and whether or not they should bring in the likes of Varcoe, West, Smedts, Vardy, Rivers or Horlin-Smith.
When we are still having discussions on whether or not Pettard plays we are still a fair way from the better teams.
My Geelong mate reckons watching Geelong rebuild is tough.
Bloody smartarse!
-

And standing up would help too
-
Give the terd a chance, he needs to get a bit of a run on.
-
and not running bent over like a cartoon character with his arse sticking out would help too... but back ot
how quickly some forget his terrible footskills and his fumbling when going for easy marks. Dropped a lot of sitters in his games did petts and his 9iron passes are heart in the mouth stuff when coming out of defence. Batch may not be the future, neither is this guy as a defender.

Varcoe is an injury prone turnover merchant, West is about par with Gus, Rivers is a battler, Vardy looks ok when he's not in stasis, and the two kids are glass half fulls
I'd say that's a dilemma

In praise of Petterd
By richmondfc.com.au
Wednesday, July 17, 2013
Richmond captain Trent Cotchin has praised the comeback performance of teammate Ricky Petterd in last Saturday’s vital victory over Gold Coast at Cairns’ Cazalys Stadium.
Petterd, who had been out of AFL action since Round 6 because of a calf injury, was one of the Tigers’ best in his rebounding role across the backline. He had 24 disposals, including a team-high six rebound-50s, applied a team-high seven tackles, and took a game-high 11 marks.

i still think this blokes taking games off players like dea will probably take games off the likes of mcintosh if we persevere with him back next yr. i just think coming of the hb line you must be exemplary with footskills and decision making.
one can just see it we are going down the battler path again because they can give just a little more than kids can atm.
id have no problem with petterd playing forward, he takes a good grab and would have to be respected in the air. a edwards is struggling and ohanlon is doing nothing at coburg. that people is the sum total of our medium sized forwards.
people probably think im bagging petterd but i think he has some ability i just dont think he should be playing in the backline. as a team we really have to add polish if we wish to go to another level. hb is a place where you must have good decision makers who have very good disposal skills.

Can play. We need to persevere.

agree with this, would like to see him up fwd.. having said that he played a solid game last week and good on him
-
24 possies, 11 marks..can play a bit the lad :shh
-
Is playing the best football of his career down back. Keep him there.
-
His not taking games off players when his playing the role better in AFL than they are in VFL.

Agree
Dont know whether its the quality of cattle in the reserves or the state of coburg atm?? Must be a poo place to play for.

when petterd was 1st drafted by melb he was a jet
in juries then took a toll
can assure u when his body is 100% this guy will be a jet again
must persist
-
Didn't he lose an internal organ?
Doubt he all get to 100%

And with your history we can lock Petterd in as yet another mistake. He's no Foley though, he aint that bad
-
90% of the time Petterd does the right thing in the backline but he's got to cut out calling for the ball when a opposition player is only 5m in front of him and he's forced to kick under pressure. It cost us at least two soft goals to Freo today.
-
Heart in mouth stuff when he gets the ball sometimes.
Cost us a few goals today.
-
I thought he was solid, not perfect though. At least he didn't get pantsed like Morris did. Morro hardly won a contest today, very unlike him.
-
Still not sold, wouldn't mind seeing him hff
-

Agree re Morris, thought he was poor yesterday. Disappointing game
And for crying out loud keep your feet son :banghead :banghead
-
Morro has been reading the Hafey article
-
Can play a bit ricky P, how was that clearance in opening seconds, i was like , whoa :shh
-
How about the cough up
-
yep that one cough up blotted the copybook of an otherwise perfect day by the team...........
-
How about the cough up
From the Houli short kick in that was called play on by the ump and he was then bumped and wen toff under the blood rule?

AUDIO: Tigers Ricky Petterd joined he Morning Glory to talk about the big clash with the Sydney Swans this weekend.
http://www.sen.com.au/audioplayer/Audio/Ricky-Petterd-Tgers-forward/8693
* On the weekend, there were still a lot of things we need to work on, and if we don’t, we’re not going to be able to show it against Hawthorn and Sydney. We had a chat after the game and Dimma was pretty strong on some of the things we need to work on. It was more the stuff we can control, like our ball movement and our running patterns. We shoot ourselves in the foot a little bit, in terms of the places we run, and we just make it hard for us to score.
* The boys did a good job against them last year over here, but it’s going to be tough. They’re an extremely good outfit, but I can tell you now the boys are super-excited to get over to Sydney and have a crack.
* I’m really enjoying playing down there at the moment. It’s easier to get a kick down there than what it is up forward sometimes. I have a chat to Dimma every week and he just wants me to be hard and tough, and be hard to play on. He doesn’t want anything special from me – he just wants me to be another contributor in the back six.

It was more the stuff we can control, like our ball movement and our running patterns. We shoot ourselves in the foot a little bit, in terms of the places we run, and we just make it hard for us to score.
And that's the important one.
Was driving me crazy on the weekend how - when we had a set kick from 60 to 80 metres out - we had all our players running into our forward 50. At one stage I counted 8 Richmond players and their opponents in the forward 50 when we had a kick from 60 going to Punt Road End. WTF.
There was NO room for any forward to make any type of lead with all space clogged and then if there was a turnover they had open space to run into going the other way. Guess how they kicked their only two goals of the first half. In the second half we started to get better by leaving two spare in the back half but didn't structure up through the midfield and defence so their loose men came in the centre thus nullifying to an extent our numbers deep.
Williams the lesser needs to be replaced ASAP by someone like O'Loughlin who understands how a forward line should structure up like he did at Sydney.
If you were the opposition coach facing Richmond you would first worry about Riewoldt and would plan to have a third man on him to help spoil in the air and run off at ground level making Jack chase as much as possible, which is exactly what happened early on Sunday. You would also hope Riewoldt played well out from goal and was surrounded by lot of traffic. Om this score you don't have to worry cos Richmond sets up that way for you. :banghead

VIDEO: Ricky talks about how his preseason is going ...
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2014-01-22/petterds-preseason
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2014-01-22/petterd-adds-more-versatility
* This year I’ve been training in the midfield and on the wing. I think that’s a strength of mine – my versatility and flexibility. I think that’s what Dimma wants. He wants a few players running through there. The more players we can get doing that, the better.
* I definitely have to take my tank to another level. To date it’s still my best pre-season ever. Touch wood I don’t do anything from here until the NAB Cup.
* In a way it was still a really enjoyable year for me. I played in every game I was available for, so I was doing something right for Dimma. I’ll just hopefully continue to do that this year. I’d like to think I can contribute in some sort of way, and play every week.
-
lol ive read the thread. only conclusion i can come to is the club and its supporters loves its fair quota of duds. you know what and i cant believe it petterd actually has a high k/e rating yet a blind man can see hes a terrible kjick of the ball. those stats hey i wonder if thats about all they go on sometimes.
-
VIDEO: Ricky talks about how his preseason is going ...
Lol @ McBean curling what look to be salt and pepper shakers in the background :lol
-
Looking forward to see what Ricky has to offer this year, let's hope it's something very good, I think he is a bit underrated my some.
-
'I played in every game I was available for, so I was doing something right for Dimma'.
Hey Ricky , when you find out exactly what it was that you were doing right can you let us all know please ?
-
Doing a fair bit wrong
-
Gives a good gobby this bloke. Even better than Gobby Graham's efforts before Maric was recruited.
-
its 2014 and the season is getting close.
i ask myself did he do enough to be kept. imo yes. but i disagree with promoting him to the list proper. we had an option to keep him on for another yr as a rookie.
where to play him. imo he should not be in the backline. for reasons ive already stated. forward for me and if possible maybe even a part of rotations.
finally when i look at our needed defenders and rate their foot skills or decision making i question all of grimes, chaplin, morris, rance and even houli only has one sdie and panics when pressured.
and we want to throw petterd into this mix.
-
yep rotate him all the way back to the reserves
-

Grimes and Chaplin have great footskills you stuffing moron.
-
when you look at the specialist forward options and type petterd could possibly be a required player.
sml forwards - s edwards, king, mcdonough, lloyd.
med forwards - banfield, gordon, knights.
med marking forwards - petterd, ohanlon, a edwards.
i still think we can afford to cut at least 4 of these forwards and address other areas like ruck, big bodied kpd tall for and mids with the long term in mind.

go ask port supporters about chaplins turnovers hes had his fair share at richmond as well. grimes possibly i am being harsh and am prepared to concede. its not important with grimes anyway, he hardly touches it enough to matter.
and whats with the abuse you look like a 12 yr old and it doesnt make you right. im not sure how you get away with it if ended every sentence with abuse im sure id get carded.
-

on one hand you say this, yet you argue against utilising martins kicking skills off half back by saying
finally how many sml/med /or tall running defenders do we need. batchelor, dea, deledio, ellis, houli, mcintosh, morris, newman, petterd, vlastuin, and now martin. plus grimes really needs to add some sort of rebounding/running component to his game.
so it seems, that whatever they do, they will be wrong, in your opinion?
-
Enough is enough
-
Enough is enough
Agree 100%. Why is this clown a walk up starter? Or Grigg for that matter?? Soft as baby vomit. And if Tyrone Vickery doesn't start playing in front, having some kind of impact and earning his bloody keep it's time to give Todd Elton a go.
-
this blokes a pretender unfortunately he aint the only one
-
Why the hell does he trucking stop all the time!!!!
-
no worse than foley
-
no worse than foley
his finished as well imho
-
Can't stand this guy. Most skinny guys can at least run but to be so generally average at everything and not even able to put on weight and smack somebody... waste of a spot. Bring in Knights or something...
-
no worse than foley
his finished as well imho
yep....people need to finally accept there'll be no 2007/8 revisited. Been obvious for a few years.
-
How is this guy getting a game.If this keeps up were going backwards.I dont see one positive he offers.
-
Enough is enough
Doing your best Donna Summer Impersonation there Jack? ;D

Agree with calls to drop him

So Grigg, Petterd and maybe Vickery out.

Arnot, Knights, Elton?
Should just break Petterd's legs and put him on LTI list so we can promote Miles...

I thought about Beaner but with Elton being 197/100 it would be great just to have some size down there. Bean is a beanpole still and from what I've seen of the NAB - 1. Not ready and 2. Not a great lead-up KPF yet more of a flanker/crumber.

IMO, he's right.

He was not much of a player :o
Not a massive upgrade on bachelor :whistle

Yes but it's stupid
Dea helbig mcintosh types can be loveable

Pet turd is not an upgrade on Batchelor at all. Batch may lack a bit of leg speed, but at least he can read the play, attack the contest, and play tall or small (as long as he's not lined up against absolute giants). I really struggle to see what value Picky fool brings to the team at either end of the ground.
-
pets looked very slow in certain parts the other night... we really need to inject some pace around the ground
-
Maybe we should play Matty White then. Oh wait, yeah he left us because we wouldn't offer him more than one year. Unlike Vickery...
-
Bach > Ricky
-
Petterd is slow, has no evasive skills and kicks balloon kicks off a HBF which is likely to put one of our wingmen in hospital. You can't afford to have in the backline if you want to get it out of there with any sort of fluency or accuracy. The only use for Petterd is as a forward pocket as a 3rd string option, if he is not in the plans for the forward setup then drop him.
-
im still scratching my head as to why the club felt the need to upgrade him.it did cost us the opportunity to put another player on the list proper.
with just a sml amount of tweaking we could have done it so much different.
still think we got it wrong in taking only one kid in the entire trade nd period. still believe we should have gone hard at blokes like chapman laidler and longer geez even podsiadlly would have been a great get for our club. these blokes actually address needs and build immediate depth all for a team aiming high and playing for the now, which is exactly what we are doing.
ah well we wont go there we did it to death in the off season.
-
He offers nothing in the backline. His kicking is not flash. He is not a good forward. His best position is in the VFL.
-
Petterd has an important role in the team.
Convince his mate Frawley to join the Tiges.
-
He offers nothing in the backline. His kicking is not flash. He is not a good forward. His best position is in the VFL.
while i agree with this a sad truth is against gcs there was at least 6 players who were worse than him imo. vickery,riewoldt,houli,grigg, ellis and chaplin had howlers.
i think he can be a decent forward that is about the only place id want him to see him play if we must play him.
marking sized medium forwards are
petterd, a edwards, ohanlon, and lennon.
of the 4 edwards is the best performed,
of the 4 the two id like to see play are lennon and ohanlon but they have to show something to get a game. imo ohanlon if he stagnates again is very much in the delist gun this yr.
other medium options are gordon, knights, martin, all give flexability as they can play well in the midfield.
-
For a guy who supposedly has photos he was one of our best again. Rightly gets a game ahead of plenty others.

He was superb in the last quarter.
-
Was death riding him in the first half when he was hopeless, can't tackle and kicks the ball 100m straight up in the air, but he was good at the end when Dimma put him as the loose man in defence, credit where it's due.
-
Had a good game.
-
I lol'd at his aerial spoil. I didn't know he was capable of getting that sort of height. Yes his kicks into the F50 needs work because they always have way too much hang time but in the last quarter he was very good.
-
I liked when he called the Carlton gimp a cheat
-
One of our best again :lol He wasn't near our best against GC. We had 4 blokes play to a decent standard in that game.
Good in the 4th last night. Did laugh when he apparently told a Carlton player that he didn't go hard enough. Probably leave that sort of sledging to blokes like Morris or Chimp

I have always thought Ricky goes in pretty hard. Its his skills that let him down, in my eyes.
That was a soft effort from Yarran too.

Pretty sure he called him a cheat rather than soft. :lol

And a diver rather than pulling out
-
Petterd had a team high 9 inside 50's against Carlton, this should never be allowed to happen again.
Can anyone remember Petterd spotting any of our forwards on the tit, I can't, rainbow kicks to FF don't win you regular games of footy. We scrounged that win which was nice, but I want to see our best players doing the most important kicks because that's how you get places in this caper.

spot on, the game plan is nqr when you have Pettard on the end of the play. Happens a fair bit with Jackson too. Its hair tearing time when you see Dusty or Lids handball off to the likes of Grigg, Pettard, Edwards or Jackson ;D
-
Why wouldn't you handball it to Grigg, he is open. Come to think of it, he is always open around the 70m mark. Are opposition teams deliberately leaving him unguarded so he slams it into 50 without looking or to an outnumbered contest. Surely not!

They sure are. Just look at the ludicrous situation where Grigg pulled out a picnic rug. Knocked up a few snags and burgers on the bbq in row D, demolished them and then still had time to bomb it in. :whistle
-
Yes give it off to Grigg - noted for his poise, well thought-out kicks & pin-point delivery.
There's a reason opposition sides don't bother paying as much attention to players like Grigg.
-
Showed hunger and punched and defended well. His kicking is still pretty bad though
-
Petterd gives his absolute all. Just about our best player tonight. Don't expect he'll get much love on here though.
-
Credit where it's due, he rarely loses a contest. Has a real crack. Just a pity he has a completely flawed kicking action.
Wouldnt get a game in a top side. Thankfully for him we are far from that.

From Richo ...
I can see why Ricky Petterd is so highly regarded within the four walls at Tigerland.
With 28 disposals, including a team-high 13 contested possessions, four clearances, plus an equal team-high nine marks, Petterd well and truly justified the decision of the Richmond selectors in rushing him back into the side after he’d missed the previous match with a minor groin injury. Petterd’s versatility is so valuable to the Tigers. He can play back, forward, through the midfield, can win the ball on the inside or outside, and he has the ability to hit the scoreboard. Throw in the fact he’s as brave as they come, and you certainly have a valuable team member.

A firm part of the side right now , we have far greater problems than Ricky p , he s going alright just quietly , comforting to know that's what the experts think too :shh
-
Hardwick loves him like Wallace loved McMahon. The rest of us know better.
Maybe Hardwick knows better.
-
Was bound to have a good game at some stage... We wont be going anywhere though if Ricky is a permanent fixture in our best side

Correct
-
Richo forgot to mention his ball drop
Then again Richo had a similar issue for the first part of his career
Petterd is going ok although his kicking is a concern
-
Was bound to have a good game at some stage...
Was pretty darn good against Carlton as well.

Sure, just like you see rance as a liability and Dusty as the cancer in the side

Astbury has been a revelation in Rance's former role.
Grimes and Rance now to battle it out.
-
This is a bit ridiculous.
Astbury has indeed been good but
Grimes is in leadership group and loved by the coach & rance is seen by some so called expert journalist as the best key defender in the country.
I should be Astbury / grimes / rance with Chaplin who is playing like a grandmother at times in the twos

More like playing with a Grandma

Reckon that handball to Cyril just about sealed his fate.
Hardwick has to try and get more foot speed into the team and Petterd whilst brave is slow as treacle.
Can't carry both Newman and Petterd in the same team.
-
Newman has, once again, escaped public scrutiny for his failure as a leader AND seasoned "champion" :thumbsup
-
Petterd has been contributing a fair bit more than Newman, pretty stiff just quietly :shh

I'd agree with that..

Absolutely correct Ox!

Yep :-\
One of those often spoken about "favourites"
-
I'd forgotten about newy, tbh he should be dropped ahead of grigg too...he hasn't hit to many high notes at all this year
-
petterd has indeed ben among our better players at times, but he is a part of a bigger problem. we can and should be looking to do much better than petterd just because he plays the odd good game does it make him a good afl player.
too many poor kicks. too many poor decision makers. too many with with basic weaknesses and petterd is one of those players. quality and polish is badly lacking and petterd does nothing to help in this area.
our problem is we play far too many glass half full players petterd is one of them yes glass half fulls can have good games now and then but when really needed they fail.

Is that mail or opinion BJ. :lol :rollin :lol

Of course how can the side cope without him. ::)

Agreed. He has been serviceable this year but he is not the answer or the future.

its disgusting, the preferential existence newman has

I'd rather this Spud who tries his guts out that the other tried and tested cabbages running around

Agree. Not ideal but at least he can lay the odd tackle, take the odd cintested mark and generally has a go, plenty who are worse and few of them didn't come as cheap....problem is though he should be handy depth at best, not a stuffing walk up start every weeek....
-
its disgusting, the preferential existence newman has
Its actually ridiculous
-
Most of the people we have recruited are depth players and there in lies the problem
:banghead

Yet they go better than the regular lemmings

Some guy said the same of him down at Melbourne, but that was to clean the toilets out each week…..

Thank you,

Thank you,
Finally you admit he is a spud. Personally I'd prefer to play our duds that we drafted. They're our duds, not some Melbourne dud. Look after our own duds.
Go the duds
-
Won't be popular but I thought he actually played ok.
-
Won't be popular but I thought he actually played ok.
Agree. Didn't do too much wrong.
-

Yep
Never walk away thinking he hasn't given his all.
-
Was good against drug cheat #2s too
-
Really has a crack
Kicking let's him down
-
we dont like people from other clubs at richmond
We're racist
-
He s actually a pretty handy player just quietly, when a fella avg 20 possies a game 83% 5-6 marks to go, plenty of tackles , he s contributing ....much bugger fish to fry than RP place in the side , like a key forward that clunk more than two marks a game to support jack
-
Pettard
Houli
Grigg
Hampson
Thomas
Knights
Jackson
Chaplin
Foley
King
AEdwards
Orren
Newman.
only 3 of which played this weekend
He would be one of the only / the few one would keep atm
-
I have time for Petterd.
However I come back to the point that he's just an average player. Same with Thomas. He's a good squad player if he's on a rookie list and used if we have an injury. He's not the answer but he has a crack and I like him for that.
-
Deserves his place in the side
Puts his body in unlike plenty of his "mates"
-
Just don't get the hate for this guy. Been pretty good for a rookie pick. Plays every game like it's his last.

Richmond's Ricky Petterd not satisfied with career to date
Daniel Cherny
The Age
March 14, 2015
The Monday after Ricky Petterd's AFL debut, Fairfax Media's Tim Lane described the young Demon's game as "a performance full of merit". The Queenslander had 23 disposals in a heavy Melbourne loss to Sydney at the SCG, with Lane rating Petterd "one of his team's best players".
Alas, that has not quite been a foreteller of things to come.
Petterd (pronounced "Pedderd", not "Pettard" as many commentators seem to think) is now 26, and his self-assessment is blunt.
"I'm honestly nowhere near where I wanted to be."
The reasons for his tally of just 83 games in eight years are varied. That first season of promise was ended in round 14 - the previously unidentified cyst that burst almost took his life. From there it's been a tale of frustration, injuries aplenty, fluctuating form and a lack of an identifiable position for a man who has played in the middle, on the wing, and at both ends of the ground.
While his two seasons since switching to Richmond have included time in the rehab group and the VFL, but he was in the team for both of the Tigers' finals.
Where his reputation as a jack-of-all-trades caused him angst, Petterd mow knows it is an advantage. "I think my flexibility is one of my strengths, and it took me a while to understand that. I never knew where I was in a team, I never knew my position and as I get older and starting to mature I start to realise that it's a strength of mine. I don't think I'm ever going to settle in one position."
It may sound trite, but without any off-season surgery, this pre-season has been Petterd's best. The extra time afforded by the Cricket World Cup has allowed Richmond's conditioning staff to better manage Petterd's load, and he has completed around 85 per cent of training.
"I don't think I've done half of that in any of the years that I've played," he said.
In particular, Petterd credits the club's rehabilitation and conditioning coach Luke Meehan for helping him reach peak condition. Since arriving at the Tigers, Petterd has done more muscle endurance work to prevent the calf and hamstring injuries that had stymied his progress.
Also, Petterd now has an extra sense of belief. "Richmond have been really good at giving me confidence, that was probably the biggest thing for me. Being able to back up training sessions gives you confidence in itself."
Alongside teammate Matt Dea, Petterd has recently started studying criminology on line, and is now helping out with the club's recruiting staff, tagging along to scout talent in the TAC Cup. Where he takes him will play out in due course, but Petterd expects to remain in Melbourne when his playing days finish, rather than going back to Queensland or joining family in Tasmania.
For now though, he's "still got a little bit of footy left in me", and taking Richmond to their first finals win since 2001. "A lot of people say we need to win a final. But we need to get there first."

'Not satisfied with career to date'.
Obviously wasn't his childhood dream to be an absolute stuffing dud.
-
Badically hes saying he has never done a full pre season and this one hes done 85% you think hed clue in that his body cant take the rigours of AFL after 9 years. No wonder melbourne dumped him.

What RFC player has the right to be happy with their career to date?
