First of all good old Billy rang up 3aw just before 1pm and said there's a rumour going around that St Kilda are interested in Petts ???. Billy asked what would we get for Petts and Walls said nothing. No other club would be interested in Pettifer.

A perfect reflection of Robert's knowledge of the game.
-
i think walls is right, petts is soft and pulls out or evades many contests, sure is a good kick for goal, but is made of butter along with his sisters like miss tivendale etc etc
petts market value is double that of tivendales
2 x 0 = 0

yep, walls should just retire, has absolutely NFI

Petts was brought up on SEN last night as a player the Saints would want. They need another goal sneak HF. Obviously they'd prefer others ahead of him, but his name came up in the mix.
Put in a couple of good games in the last two and he might attract a bit of interest.
After Rodan this year, I wouldn't dismiss another club wanting him.

Ha he rang SEN after that lol :rollin

Pretty pointless rumour anyway. Pettifer is contracted for 2008.

Can't you trade a contracted player?

Only if both parties want it.

What if the Saints and the Tigers want it lol
-
Well, 3 parties then. :D
-
A HFF with 31 goals and averaging 15 possies per game for the year has no trade value whatsoever. Good one Wallsy :whistle
-
l got no time for Wallsy & never did he rabbles nothing but rubbish
-
Good'o. We'll keep him then.

funny how he knows so much now hes in the commentators box, and couldnt put his ideas into action when he was coaching :wallywink
-
Petts must have heard Walls' comments. His best game for the year. 26 possies, 12 marks, 3 tackles and 2 goals.

Wallsy's just lazy and senile

petts best game for the yr, he is safe with us

Yes Robert Walls very intelligent.
The man who on the Saturday night when we played the Eagles said the Eagles
can win the flag without Judd yet on the following Monday on On The Couch he unequivocally rescinded that thought. Perhaps tomorrow he will say Pettifer is the best Half Forward going around. Hey Robert even I can tell you the Saturday night lotto numbers on Sunday morning you awful fool and media tool. :rollin :rollin

Here's an oldie for you all.
What do Princess Di and the Richmond Football Club have in common?
Both got stuffed by Walls. :thumbsup

You know the silly season has started when Barry Brooks is offered in exchange for Pettifer on the Saints forum :wallywink
Someone on here (a normally reliable source, I forget who it was) posted about a month ago that St Kilda were seriously looking at Pettifer ...
Basically a similar player to Milne, except 2 years younger and has never kicked 50 goals in a season.
Can win more of the footy than Milne and is a better tackler in the forwardline.
Not as dangerous around the packs.
Fourth round pick (#55 approx) + Barry Brooks
OR
Third round pick (#39 approx) ... would be slightly reluctant.
Small forwards don't win you matches. They add percentage

St Kilda seem pretty desperate to me to land a hff like Petts. Unfortunately for them, you gotta pay more sometimes to get what you want....in a poo draft like this its a 1st rounder for Petts. 30 to 40 goal a year HFF dont grow on trees.
-
HT74 your a classic with that joke :thumbsup
as for Walls l dont listen to him at all
his like a book when you read a page & turned it over you forget it cause it's old news
-
A bit dumb of them comparing Petts to Milne. Not only does Petts play HFF not FP but at least Petts will still be playing in the AFL next year ;).
Petts isn't going anywhere.

The more I think about this the more I simply can't believe someone that gets paid to comment on football could make such a statement.
More and more I am seeing the value of lead-up forwards given the modern style of fast footy. It is imperative to have guys that will work hard from deep forward right up to the wing to ensure the ball can be moved quickly and runners from the backline always have an option. With Pettifer and Richo we have two very good ones and it enables us to really move the ball quickly whilst still having very dangerous forwards deep. Guys like Hansen at the Eagles, O'Keefe at the Swans and Reiwoldt at the Saints are extremely important to their sides, as is Pettifer to ours.
Pettifer would definitely be one of those players whose value in a trade would be ok, but well below the value he actually gives to the side.
