Im hoping that he stays. He showed some signs that he might be a late bloomer. He just has to string some consistancy together and get his confidence up from playing hbf and then put him forward and he will kick goals.

I believe he will be offered a minimum player contract. Its up to him to take it or look for another home.
This is where Richmond is in such a great position (if you can call being on the bottom of the heap just that). We can offer minimum contracts as any delisted or rejected player from us has no great appeal amongst the other clubs. The PSD wont appeal so much to them.

Worth another year under a good coach but dont think Kayne will make it. He falters badly under pressure, seems to have great spurts of energy in the first two minutes on the field, then seems to go missing for the rest of the match. Could he have been unfit? I don't know, all I know is he performs well in the VFL but cant seem to handle the extra intensity.

Kayne was playing for Coburg towards the end of the season, and not doing much there either. ;)
He played TWO games for Coburg at the end of the season (rounds 20 and 21), and that was after being omitted from the seniors due to injury in round 18. He was not fully fit during those two games, thus affecting his performance. His form in the seniors prior to getting injured was consistently good - for 6 games in a row.

ive enjoyed watching pettiful change from a skinny, useless hairdo to a reasonably set, useful hairdo.

he showed signs of discipline and skill this year and i think we should hold onto him. he can lay tackles, kick the footy and goals. At worst he's a good small forward.
i think he could make a decent on-baller later in his career, but might be a bit small to play key position.

You know if Pettifer was named Hartigan or Jackson, and had played on the HBF like he did this year when he got the chance you lot would all be creaming your pants! You would all be raving about his big future in the back line.

Forget about his complete failure as a HFF and give him another chance where he showed his best form this year.

I have memories of him this year backing back into packs and taking one grab marks reminiscent of the Kellaways at their best. He is worth another go in this position.

Pathettifer fully turned his football career around when played at half back this season. Naturally, Frawley took the opportunity of his success to move him back to the froward line. Immediate results -Kayne reverted to a disease. This guy has to play back for a lot longer and will make it if he does. If Wallet plays him forward I believe it's the end of his career.

"Jibs and Ratbags to the backline." Pettifer is both.

I agree he requires a chance under Wally wonker 22 games in the backline rotating in the middle.

Make go in and under Tezza that will knock the fear out of him or ruin him completly.

Either way we need to no

Umm yes, all valid points and I don't necessarily disagree with anyone but what I want to know is why he is still out of contract? If we didn't want him he would have been delisted or moved elsewhere during trade week. The only reasons I could think of is that he wants more money which would be a joke because he doesn't deserve it yet or it's like Zantuck and he's fallen out with other players at the club but I haven't heard anything like that... I mean it just seems strange that he's still unsigned that's all.

i wouldnt worry to much about the time we have put into pettifer. he has developed very little in his time at the club has glaring weaknesses is generally over rated and imo will not make it.

i can't believe im saying this but i completely agree with the claw. i was shocked when this dud wasn't delisted with nicholls and houlihan. when he played about 1 and a half decent games with about 4-5 weeks to go in the season, i was really worried we might retain him on the back of those performances. how can you seriously justify keeping him here based on that? how many years has he been at tigerland?

if we must keep him (which it looks like we are), he must be given a 1 year deal on minimum salary.

The only reason people that he did any good towards the end of this season is Terry said on radio that he needs more time on the Ground Danny!

You think Danny listened to Terry's coaching advice? ;D

Kayne was playing for Coburg towards the end of the season, and not doing much there either. ;)

Yeah The only plus to come from the year Danny listening to Terry have they meet in person yet? by any chance rosy or is Danny to shy to meet terry

I've been a huge detractor of Kayne's over the past few years. Doesn't work hard enough, doesn't tackle hard enough, doesn't have enough heart, loses concentration and gets lost all too easily. All in all just plainly not up to it. I don't think TW will change this, but you never know.

He's not in the best 22, and that's before the recruits. Should have gone IMO, only stayed because we couldn't delist too many. Been given enough opportunities. Should be a solid contributor for the 'burgers.
