I spotted this poster in the men's room of a pub in Fitzroy. The P-Train looks fighting fit.

Good luck! He looks a bit pasty compared to the others...

 

[Grockadoc]

Any word on how P-Train went?

Like the AFL 'Star' bit. Humour always gets attention.

Dusty posted a picture on Instagram saying 'well done bro'. I think he won.

All our good wishes worked!

Relton Roberts did okay in his fight too

Fighting at light heavyweight, Pettifer, 32, who has been working under trainer Sam La Bruna for several months, clearly won the first three two-minute rounds, fading slightly in the last, with all three judges calling it his way 39-37.

The 113 game goalkicker, who retired in 2007, was cheered on by a tableful of current Tigers, including Chris Newman and Dustin Martin, with Collingwood’s Dane Swan and former Blue and Lion Brendan Fevola also in the crowd and recently deposed world champion Sam Soliman in his corner.

“I enjoyed it — a great experience — and I’m pretty proud of myself,” Pettifer said.

“I definitely want to have another go. But it’s extremely hard — the toughest sport in the world.

“The transition from football is just so hard and I have a long way to go.”



 

[Bazzar]

Great stuff. Good on him.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

I gave him curry, but you have to respect anyone who is willing to step into the ring

Congrats on your first win Petts

Fev, Dusty and Swan at a table to cheer on Petts. What could possibly go wrong?

Gee, who comes up with this stuff. Petts was DELISTED in 2009.

Big deal and so what. This is about him stepping into the ring not about some silly typo or wrong stat.

I know that, just highlighting how incompetent so called journalists are. They obviously did some research to find he played 113 games.

I was a massive fan of Pettifer. Felt he was underrated by many people, even Tiger fans. Had a lot of talent, but just not the right headspace, or application. Seems to have clicked for him finally.

Wasn't the worst player we've ever had by a long way.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

He could take some great marks.
I think it was in 2007 he took about 3 contenders in 3 consecutive weeks.

 

[Grockadoc]

He probably had more talent and natural ability in his little toe than Jake King did in his diminutive body, but seeing as Petts on played 6 more games, it really does show the difference between talent and hard work, discipline and the right mentality.

If Kayne had of got his head right, he could have been anything.
