I kind of hope that the game on Saturday stamped his papers, but I know that it hasn't. I wonder if Dimma can find some excuses for him in his Dissection this week.

Yep. also missed some key tackles he shouldn't have. He's a fringe player who's meant to bring some hardness. If he doesn't, forget it
The definition of stupidity is to repeat the same process time after time and expect a different result, so where does that put Hardwick continuing to select Petterd.
Its not Petterd's fault he continually gives everything he has in a game but unfortunately his faults prevent him from being an effective player.

3 months out will just about end his career I'd say.....been a gutsy performance to go as hard as he does considering the kidney or liver injury he had
Looks like we have an explanation for his shocker game. Feel for him as it will be tough to recover and keep his spot.
Terrible luck for him. i like Ricky because despite his obvious shortcomings he always has a red hot dip. Definitely a courageous player.
Sounds painful. :-\

Was limping before half time. Not a big hit at this stage, but handy depth player when the team's on song.
Is this the injury he had at Melbourne?

Oh dear. That's the season done then and more than likely his career given he only has the one year deal.
I think the club's website said 3 months. Interesting that Larkins never picked this up, he reports on every other injury during a game. It's bad luck for Ricky. It does however give someone else an opportunity.Tigers of Old said:
Not often you see this amount of goodwill extended towards ex-clubmen.

Petterd might be a somewhat warrior and his endeavour could rarely be questioned, yet this is the sort of injury at the stage he is in his career that may well see him play whatever games are possible later in the season in the VFL.
It will be most disappointing for him personally, but now the Tigers are forced to look for other options ... options that, in the long run, have some real merit for the team. Surely, if the Tigers are ever to be serious contenders, the likes of Petterd aren't in the best 22.
