Petts must have heard Walls' comments. His best game for the year. 26 possies, 12 marks, 3 tackles and 2 goals.

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can win the flag without Judd yet on the following Monday on On The Couch he unequivocally rescinded that thought.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

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

Quote
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.

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.
