Petiffer? Elite? No, but vastly improved.
I'm haven't been a huge fan of his career to date but he's easily in our best 22. It amazes me how much of a bagging he still cops here after his '05 season.
He seems to have turned the corner & I for one hope Kayne continues his development under TW again next season. Good luck to him.
the fact hes in our best 22 your opinion not mine is the reason why we finished 12th this yr.doesnt say much for the list does it.
As long as Travis Gaspar doesn't come near it the list will look after itself. Looking forward to Pettifer establishing himeself as the league's best (elite?) small forward this coming season
Now that your previous elite player "Hilton " is gone I guess I'm not surprised with this silly comment.But it provided a good laugh.

Being from wagga Wagga don't get to see any of the coburg games but get the gist of how players are performing on this site.So what are Luke McGuanes best attributes and deficiancies? I know his body is not developed yet.But in time could he end up playing chb? Is he tall enough?Would be a huge bonus for the club if one of these forward types could be developed as a key backman.


Not much of young Luke has been seen but from what i have seen of the boy training and in a couple of Coburg games indicates a fair bit of promise with Luke.
He is mobile with a yard for his size is tall enough bout 192 cm i think for a key back post but would require another 8 - 10 kgs minimum to be a power key back.
Luke has good hands and to be honest havent seen enough of him to get a great idea re foot skills but from what little i have seen they are pretty good.
Luke along with Limbach are coming from a fair ways back in regards to his injuries last year, but i think young McGuane has somthing to offer or at least be heavily looked at and worked with this year.
McGuane is a definite prospect for either key defensive post in the future and imo would be the most ideal of the youngsters to possibly develop as a key defender  rather than a Limbach, Moore or Hughes.
Couldnt hurt to give him a go especially Pre season in scratch matches and down back for the Burgers with Morrison, Rix and Archie gone their is scope for our youngsters to have a run down back.
Thanx Craig. On me way to work(Bar manager) not gunna be fun on new years eve.Ah well will have to have a few afterwrds!
 
no wukkas richy 42 i am not as bad as many would have u believe ;D

Happy new year and keep them fresh kegs tapped and the draught flowing ;)

The fact he's in our best 22 (your opinion not mine) is the reason why we finished 12th this yr.  Doesn't say much for the list does it?

Think ToO gets closer to the truth than your opinion couched in "fact" oh Clawed One.  Never known one player to be solely responsible for a club finishing 12th.  If you ever get the chance - put that to TW and get his opinion.

Putting your "fact" another way though, that RFC was in the Top 8 until Browny did his leg (and still there a little after I seem to recall), perhaps was also due to Pettifer being in the best 22?  Both are pointless opinions and only 2006 and beyond can confirm whether one is a more accurate "snapshot in time" than the other ;)

For mine, just happy he is improving and playing a better brand of game over time.
why is it so hard for ferals to understand basic posts.no ones saying one player is responsible for us finishing 12.the fact that such an ordinary weak slow spineless excuse of a footballer like pettrified is in the top 22 shows the overall problems with the list we have.if he remains in our best 22 for the next 3 or 5 yrs god help us. and just because hes finally managed to produce an average season ferals everywhere are proclaiming him an elite footballer ffs its typical of our supporters as soon as someone shows a little bit they are automatically champs never mind the 5 previous pathetic yrs or the deficiencies in their games that have not been improved on that tell you as plain as day we have seen the best of the pettifers of this world and their best is not good enough.
:rofl Claw, you're a dead set laugh a minute.
Who here in these referred posts is calling him a "champ"? Who here in these referred posts is callling him "elite"? Why is it so hard for you to understand basic posts?
Oh that's right it's hard to read in the dark 8).

Balanced posting just isn't part of your mindset is it? How's this.... "ordinary weak slow spineless excuse of a footballer"? That's about as ridiculous as calling him a "champ".

who will argue overhis career he hasnt been very ordinary who will argue hes not weak i reckon my granny could break one of his pathetic efforts to tackle and would definately put up a better show when challenged. who will argue hes not spineless the amount of times hes pulled out of contests is sickening and a disgrace.who will argue hes not slow the amount of times his direct opponent runs of him and delivers the ball cleanly is another disgrace.his histrionics when he does something wrong are down right embarrasing.hes a 184cm 84kg hff with no other strings to his bow who is slow lacks strenght and a physical presence who wont put his head over the ball. in fact i would say kane is the most scared footballer in the afl
as i have said before he should be gone as soon as one of the kids are ready to do his job and if it takes 3 or 4 yrs for a kid to replace him we are in big trouble.in fact kane should of beeen shopped around for a draft pick this past draft while we can get something for him.

I get the feeling from a lot of posters on here that they would prefer to see a RFC player fail and be able to say I told you so rather then see them improve and become vital cogs in a good side,as for wrong draft choices from the past 2 years just wait and see ,how the hell would most of us know for at least another 2 years

agreed CC Rider.And would add that some posters just hate to admit when they were wrong.

Because sometimes the posts a too basically put. I think that may come from being too negative or too positive, ie. a lack of balance. :o Try adding the word "symptomatic" somewhere in you original basic post and you may solve the problem ;)

At least you mean what you say, rather then the alternative. ;)

Still think it is too simplistic to just bag Pettifer at then end of a much improved season. There are many clubs with a Pettifer, or worse, a Medhurst :rotfl

i wouldnt hesitate to pick medhurst over pettrified even with all his shortcomings.
 
now you really are talking total bollocks!! ::)
 
Getting back to the point (geez, that’s unusual for me), this will be a defining year for all 3 players mentioned.

Hall should be at his peak this year (even if that peak is no higher than the top end of Bourke street). For mine, last year was one of his better years but he is still not good enough to be part of a premiership team. Right now he’s only there because we couldn’t trade him and also because of the fact that we are bereft of height in the backline. He’s gotta have his best year ever if he’s gonna remain at Richmond. By all reports, the way he is training it sounds like he understands that.

Schulz. Time for him to step up to the plate. The potential tag has worn thin. He’ll be thrust into a key role or two throughout the season. This is the year we find out if he’s good enough. Doesn’t have to star…but has to make a solid contribution.

Limbach. If it wasn’t for the mandatory minimum 2 year contract he got after being drafted last year, the club probably would have de-listed him. Lazy, un-disciplined and un-professional. Was subsequently read the riot act by Wallace and the club, and sounds like he has started to pull his finger out if going by his pre-season training form is any indication. Has a real smart ar$e attitude about him, but I don’t mind that in a forward. We need a bit more character around the club. Can take a half decent mark, kicks ok (if not a bit unorthodox with his technique) and is starting to build a frame on his body. He’d wanna get a game or two in the seniors this year, or at least put in a good year at Coburg, to retain his spot on the list. Under the Wallace game plan (which should filter down to Coburg much better this year), Limbach could surprise if he stays injury free.
