I just wish he could fix his poor ball drop.

He may have a good DE, but that doesn't stop my heart coming up the back of my my throat every time he goes to kick it.

bullus_hit said:We've had a few like that, the Kellaway brothers for instance, both were very effective footballers over their careers. I don't like his kicking action either but he's a player who is learning to play within his limitations. His short game is fine, it's when he launches the ball in long that the heart goes into the mouth. His handballing in close is also highly effective, he's actually a pretty smart player in heavy congestion. I suspect Dimma has whispered in his ear to cut out the long bombs and to dish it off to the smart users, it's part of the reason he finished last season with an 80% DE.
There will be a time when he gets pushed to the periphery, probably when Lennon gets up to speed, but I'm happy with him in the team for the moment. He's brave and fearless and will put his body on the line when it matters most. That was evident last Thursday, the 4 points we have banked can be largely attributed to Petterd's final quarter, and I reckon after the match Ricky would have been one of the first players Hardwick went up to congratulate.
The list is growing by the day.
tbartiger said:I was gonna say something similar. But not nearly as well. So.... Agree 100%.
I reckon Jimmy will play until someone knocks so hard they can't be ignored. There is no one knocking just yet.
Not quite knocking loud enough just yet, plenty of time for him to learn how to kick the door in and demand entry.Coburgtiger said:

But not for Petterd, he was top 3 last week.
