List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Targets

[Schulzenfest]

The only reason to trade for Toby McLean would be for the satisfaction of immediately delisting him for bringing the game into disrepute with his cheating.

Did McLean do something personal to you?

 

[The Ghost Rider]

u absolutely f*n wot m8?

Jye Caldwell is worth more than 10 Minchingtons. Are you a Hawks supporter in disguise?

I’m a huge Michington fan. Arguably the most under rated player in the comp. Absolute Jet when he’s firing brah.

 

[Macca19]

This. I ****ing hate Toby McLean as a footballer. Drops the knees and throws the head back every time anyone touches him. Infuriates me and if he pulled on a Port guernsey I’d ****ing spew

also currently cannot get a game at the doggies. Do not want.

Your trade suggestion just validates my existing theory that all GWS supporters have been following AFL for less than a year.

If you like Minchington then return to your board and spruik picking him up as a DFA.

AFL Academy loophole may lead James Borlase, son of Port Adelaide premiership captain Darryl Borlase, to Crows

The son of a 246-game Port Adelaide premiership captain is in line to become a Crow via a “staggering” loophole of the AFL Next Generation Academy system.
James Borlase, a key defender whose father Darryl won four SANFL flags with Port, including as skipper in 1998, is generating significant interest from recruiters, but Adelaide has access to him in this year’s draft as an African-born player in its zone.

The Egypt-born 18-year-old is ineligible to join Port as a father-son selection due to Darryl falling short of the required minimum of 200 games before the Power’s AFL entry in 1997.
Port and the SANFL listed Darryl on 201 games after the 1996 state league grand final but that included Escort Cup matches, which the AFL did not count towards his total – 167 games.
James, who was a member of the All-Australian under-15 team in 2017 and last year played in the under-17 “futures game” at the MCG on AFL grand final day, was born in Cairo in 2002 when Darryl was working there for two years with the Australian Wheat Board.

Darryl Borlase, James’s father, during his playing days at Port Adelaide.
The family returned to Australia only a handful of months after James was born, initially residing in Melbourne, before coming back to Adelaide to live in Netherby, in the inner-southern suburbs.

James has emerged through junior ranks at SANFL club Sturt, which is aligned to the Crows via under the NGA program.

He would have been in Port’s NGA if he had grown up just two streets southwest.

An interstate club’s recruiter, who did not want to be named, said developing the son of a former SANFL captain was not the purpose of the academies, which were introduced in 2016.

According to the AFL website, the NGAs aim to grow participation in under-represented parts of the community and increase the talent pool of Indigenous and multicultural players.

“If you’re at the Crows, you’d be saying ‘that’s just the rules’ regarding Borlase, but if you’re at Port you’re going ‘that’s just ridiculous’,” the recruiter told News Corp.

“When the AFL brought this whole program in it was all about giving boys born overseas or boys with parents born overseas an opportunity to play AFL footy.

“This is staggering in some ways that Borlase falls under that system, but it’s the system.”

James has played 10 reserves matches for Sturt over the past two seasons while splitting time between the club and Prince Alfred College, where he usually lines up as a forward.

Standing 191cm and 88kg, he has a striking physique with wide shoulders and long arms.

James Borlase (left) aged 11, in 2013, with his mum, ex-Australian netballer Jenny, four-time SANFL premiership-winning dad Darryl and sisters Isobel and Ella.
His mum Jenny – Darryl’s wife – is a three-time Netball World Cup winner for Australia and 1998 Commonwealth Games medallist.

The Borlases did not want to comment for this story.

But in a YouTube interview in March, James said he could not remember anything from his time in Egypt.

He said it would have been “lovely” to follow in his dad’s footsteps at Port, but he just wanted him to have the best opportunity to play football.

“It is what it is and we can’t do much about it now,” James told “Into the Fire”.

“Sometimes (Dad) likes to show us the tapes of some of his better games but he’s quite modest and doesn’t like to talk about it too much.”

James said he had enjoyed his involvement with Adelaide, including training at the club in December, but the Crows “haven’t given away too much” about possibly drafting him.

He said he modelled his game on two All-Australian backmen: Richmond’s Dylan Grimes and Crow Daniel Talia.

Sturt football manager Chris Trapp said the club spoke regularly with recruiters about James, who might play league football this year.

“He’s been super for us,” Trapp said.

“He’s obviously got nice physical attributes and is really composed with ball in hand, and has just fitted into the senior program really well.

“He’s certainly getting a lot of interest.

“We meet regularly with (Crows academies manager) Jarrod Meers … and they’ve looked after him well, and I suppose it’s just the way it is with the alignment.

“I’m sure Port are probably disappointed.”

James played in the college competition for Prince Alfred on Saturday, kicking three goals in a season-opening 93-point win over Rostrevor.

PAC’s director of co-curricular activities Troy McKinnon said James, the First XVIII’s deputy vice-captain, had significant talent.

“James is a leader in our program and this has come about through great character and intent to help the team and represent the college well,” McKinnon said.

AFL rules state that players qualify for the NGA if they are born in Africa or Asia, have a biological parent born in one of those two continents, are Indigenous or are from a government-defined culturally and linguistically diverse population.

An AFL spokesman said a committee evaluated NGA prospects and the league’s general counsel, Andrew Dillon, had to approve them.

The spokesman said there were examples where eligibility rules did not cover every possible scenario, but players still had to go through a bidding process where other clubs could determine their market value.

Adelaide also access to North Adelaide goalsneak Tariek Newchurch via its NGA this year.

The Crows did not want to comment.

Port challenged the AFL ruling on Darryl’s games count before and until 2018.

That year, Power football manager Chris Davies called Darryl a club great and said Port was disappointed James did not qualify as a father-son selection.

 

[PowerBaz]

I read theat story above and think what a crock this AFL is hey, and what hot garbage the current playing group is not living up to the PAFC by just winning flags, we seem stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.

whilst I don’t think we are missing out much in terms of the player - seems to be a late to rookie pick - the concept that someone who has football in the blood somehow is a NGA is ridiculous. The look of a PAFC great’s son being academied to another side is also terrible.

 

[JUSTWORK]

So Andrew Embley has said on fox he recons Freo should trade Fyfe.

Three way trade; First pick plus what we get for Wines and load up for a flag in the next 2-3 years before we need to replace Charlie ?

 

[TeeKray]

Freo are not trading Nat Fyfe and even if they were it wouldn't be to Port Adelaide.

 

[SureBuddy]

In some bizarro world that Freo would actually trade Fyfe, every single club in the comp would throw everything possible at them to get him. Still the best player in the league and deserves a premiership.

 

[Tredrea_Wanganeen_Gray]

Three-way deal i think would work for each club.

GWS - Rockliff
Hawks - Caldwell
Port - Minchington

Throw in Matthew Arnott and you have a deal

At least something has been said now. This has flown under the radar for far to long. Even if he's not a 1st rounder, it's the principle.

Remember Jonathan Brown's father played 51 games for Fitzroy.

[rumoursofwinter]

We need someone fast who takes the game on. Aggressive and hurt factor with their disposal. Zac Williams is the perfect player for our list. Perfect age. He's a free agent and we have $ to spare. Apparently he is heavily involved in indigenous programs. If he isn't our primary target then we are not doing this properly!

I agree that he's a very good player and would be a great fit but a decent 200cm lock down defender is our No.1 priority.

He's not list manager. Sure he won't play the 200 cm defender, but unless we offered only a year he'd be around when Hinkley is gone (I'm resigned to the fat fool being here next year regardless of where we finish, as KT and Koch are spineless).

Watching Zak Jones run rings around our midfield has brought me around to this idea. They are similar players but Williams is much better. We need his pace in our centre square combination.

 

[Powerade 08]

Tom Sparrow had a crack last night, no room for him in the Melb midfield with Oliver, Viney, Petracca, Brayshaw.

 

[philthy05]

I’m not sure he leaves them to come to our midfield. If we lost a couple of players in our midfield to trades end of year maybe but he’s not high on my priority list. Think he’s got a way to go to become a very good mid.

I reckon he’s gone end of year and crows have like 17 roster spots he could walk into
