Hardwick loves him like Wallace loved McMahon. The rest of us know better.

So Grigg, Petterd and maybe Vickery out.

Who in?

Arnot, Knights, Elton?


Should just break Petterd's legs and put him on LTI list so we can promote Miles...

For me it would be Arnot, Knights, and McBean :D

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.

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.

He reminds Damien of Damien as a player.

IMO, he's right.

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.

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...

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.

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.
