Neesham believes Richmond have drafted “something special” in Carl Peterson and has no trouble listing his many attributes.
“He could be a gifted forward, could play midfield or at half-back, and he’s a fantastic mark,” Neesham said. “He’s a brave player and has the same intent as a guy like James Hird when he goes for a grab – only eyes for the ball.”
Unfortunately, none of these attributes are likely to be seen by Tigers fans until mid-season due to Peterson’s struggle with osteitis pubis.
“I’ve had it for a couple of years and haven’t quite got over it but I’m working on that now,” Peterson said. “Watching the boys put the boots on during pre-season has been frustrating.”
Richmond’s main aim for Peterson this season is to heal the osteitis pubis. Head fitness coach Matthew Hornsby says the club is in no rush to return Peterson to competitive football before the middle of the season.
