    I don't know what was more amazing - that we offered pick 39 for him or the fact they didn't accept it!

        That would have been disasterous .

          Petterd is interesting, he was looking like a very dangerous forward there for one season. Apparently hampered by injuries, would there be any interest at 24 years of age if he can get passed a medical.

              We don't need another inconsistent forward who can't kick for goal.

                His work ethic has been questioned.

                  Must play for an Adelaide club now. Family reasons.

                    He's been committed to stand trial, I believe in March 2013.. His management have said he still wants to play AFL, in SA.

                      Or lay no defensive pressure in our forward 50. Jurrah's defensive efforts make Gia and Higgins look like Jude Bolton by comparison.

                        I thought that comment was in regards to Petterd...

                          Sorry you're right. I just noticed the post immediately before Happy Days' which was about Jurrah.

                          I also vote 'no' to Petterd. As HD mentioned, can't kick and is terribly inconsistent. Also injury prone and doesn't involve himself in the game often enough - he drifts in and out of games too much for my liking.

                            That was for Pettard not Jurrah. No one wants Jurrah.

                            Edit: Ahhhh page 2. Yeah was just interested in what happened to Jurrah with the trial, definitely don't want him!
