How did Pettard slip to 24?

 

[LukeHodge15]

How did Pettard slip to 24?

good question

 

[Silvagnis]

How did Pettard slip to 24?

I've heard he's slow.

 

[John]

I've heard he's slow.

I was happy to see him so low as he is a local so no homesickness and I watched him in the under 18 and do not once recall thinking him slow. As always time will tell.

 

[irel]

I've heard he's slow.

I heard Greg Williams was slow too!

 

[saintgoof]

Houli would be good at the saints nice strong body ready for next yr. if any saints fans disagree post ur pick.

 

[Silvagnis]

Is he as good as Greg Williams?

Is this St.Kilda's pick? If so Collingwood's up.

[Couch Coach]

Would have liked a inside midfielder with one of our first two picks. The best two still available in my oppinion are Tom Collier and Jackson Sheringham with Collier being the better option IMO.

 

[irel]

Is he as good as Greg Williams?

I do not claim that he is or will be as good as Williams. Who knows he coud be better or he could just as well not get drafted and disappear from the scene like thousands before him.

I just have an issue with people that make definitive statements such as "He's slow" "He's quick" etc... without qualifying why that would make them a bad or good player. History tells us that players labeled "slow" like Williams, Harvey, Black and hundreds more compensate with other skills that turns them into champions.

So this being a phantom draft picking Pettard is a good strategy.

However when the real thing comes along in November, I'll trust the judgment of those given the responsibility to make a selection.

You also made the definitive statement without having seen Pettard to make a personal judgment.

 

[tomthetiger]

Well pick one then!

 

[tomthetiger]

Ahhh I know who I wanna pick but hes gonna go

I don't need to make a personal judgement if a good poster saw him overtaken after he had a headstart on his opponent and was beaten to the ball.

I think this counts as a vote for Collier.

Next up: Melbourne

Were you talking about these posts?

Here

This suggests that the comment that he was overtaken may have been an exaggeration. I don't think he is quick, per se, but I also don't think he will be exposed for lack of pace at the top level.

I've heard a couple of people say he's slow so don't shoot the messenger.

I never said he was a bad footballer.

Any more swear words because I bagged one of your mates?

Anyone want to take the next pick?

Mate, you've made a dikkhead of yourself. You made a statement "I heard Petterd is slow", on someone else's observation form BF. Another poster later put a contrary view. You have not seen him, you don't know what he looks like, shape, size, skill levels in fact you know SFA. You've just shown yourself to be a tool and backtracking at rate of knots.

These observations aren't from someone on BigFooty so you can suit yourself if you don't like it. No wonder why this site is so **** with mates of players objecting to an impartial opinion.
