Re: Petrard will be Rookied
Do you know that Jurica could run the 100m in a tick over 11 secs ? It was one of the reasons we recruited him at the time.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
Short memory there JB, it seems you've already erased our Melbourne loss last year where Petterd had a lazy 14 tackles.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
One season ago is hardly aeons, this season he's been plagued with achilles problems so only harsh judge would be singling out those performances. Petterd actually performed well under Bailey, but like many of his peers he's had an ordinary 12 months. Based on form, there's very little difference between him and Knights, yet one is on a fat contract and the other will be on minimum wages.

Shallow and petty but my word is my word: there goes my gold membership.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
The injury problems aside, he's definitely AFL quality, questions need to be asked about his physical condition but I don't think you or I are in a position to make a sound judgement on that.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
I think jimbob has a point. Whilst perhaps AFL quality, Petterd was hardly an outstanding player before his very serious injuries. It really is difficult to see him offering much.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
So given Knights has been floundering in the reserves for 12 months should we also question his worth?

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
Am starting to think nay hope we get him. Many didn't want Grigg or Houli or Maric and they have turned out alright, oh and by Maric I do mean the Ivan variety not the Addam. So if the past is anything to go by then I look forward to him coming.
As for his achilles imagine what would have happened if we past up the last person we recruited with achilles issues he is now our captain and a bonafide superstar.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
rookie chance=small outlay,on slim chance he comes good,
Mainly depth,but with afl experiance if needed to be called upon.

2013 is finals or bust for Dimma. The age/experience card has been torn up.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
We went through this 4 years ago with Wallace, fans will give you time when you play the kids. But if you recruit veteran players (Cousins, McMahon) on the assumption that the corner is turned then expectation bar gets raised exponentially.
This will be by far Dimma’s hardest year. The expectations are much higher than they have been previously.

Re: Petrard will be Rookied
I really don't get the angst towards getting Petterd as a rookie. He is a quality player when he is up and about and if we believe we can get him right he is an absolute steal at very minimal cost, IMO.
Will be very happy if he comes to the Tiges.
At the same time I really wish we had added Tom Schneider to our list at no cost.
Anyway, if the rumour is true we will get, Petterd, a back up ruckman of some description and possibly two others.
You really do speak a lot of crap sometimes.
He is hardly a veteran.
Anyway, I'll go back to letting the majority go off half cocked and working themselves into a frenzy. Enjoy.
