If you post a new rumor here, let me know and I'll copy it over

 

[Peter Doherty]

Haven’t seen a post with any outrage at all. It’s the off-season and we just delisted 3 players, no other news to discuss. You don’t have to post on the board of the topic du jour is beneath your delicate sensibilities.

Meh

 

[1970crow]

Meh

Agreed. But no need to get so emotional with your posting.

 

[kirky]

Davis looked ok every time I saw him play at AFL level.

You can’t be serious.

Zero impact.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Agreed. But no need to get so emotional with your posting.

Yeah righto, mate.

There's been nothing emotional from me, you've made that up, I've been the exact opposite.

Not going to be drawn into one of your shit fights.

If you thought people were outraged then you must have been emotional. It’s ok though.

 

[Red mist]

I thought I’d seen it all on here, but lamenting Davis’ delisting takes the f******* cake.

Must be a mud cake cos he sticks.

Ah, huh, you like the draw.

 

[FR0GGY]

People are just looking to be outaged by everything.

Ben Davis, a solid rookie in a very young squad is just not on my radar.

Thanks sando

 

[Mutineer]

That's literally what I said.

I doubt either club were trying to upgrade twith the intention to target Rozee at the time.

 

[George Kramer]

Rubbish. Port went for Rozee knowing he was attainable and they rated him. No way were they expecting Rankine and Lukosius to get to 5.

Correct, Rozee was their number 1 target.

 

[BunjiMac]

I've seen him play a handful of times and that's enough for me to decide he has more footballing abilty than Ned and Murphy combined.

I'd be careful judging people on SANFL form.

I'm sure Ned and Murphy looked amazing in the SANFL. To be a good midfielder in the AFL is very very difficult.

I've seen them play SANFL also.
But I get what you are saying.

 

[Crow till I die]

Correct, Rozee was their number 1 target.

I heard that from multiple people who were involved at the club. They had him as their no 1 target

 

[Boak10]

Port don’t have the draft capital to get a deal done. Pick 8 and a future first wouldn’t even get North to the table

Great trade period for both SA teams

Cripps was wasn’t he? He master classed selling Dougal Howard and Wingard to get that pick exactly.

 

[Red mist]

Well it is to get them both back. It took capital either way you want to look at it. Long may it reign that low selection SA lads wanna get home in this insidious vic competition.

 

[latinoheat]

I think ports draft selections over the past 4 years have been really good (except for their rookie selections)

 

[latinoheat]

Cripps was wasn’t he? He master classed selling Dougal Howard and Wingard to get that pick exactly.

No wonder Cripps is in demand from other clubs, he’s killed it last couple of drafts)

I’ve called him a smooth operator, he most definitely is. A definite want for any clubs coaching or administrators.
He has most certainly been a godsend to ports chances over the last five years more than on field performance.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Howard was the next trade period IIRC, which got them one of Bergman or Georgiades

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hopefully we are now seeing a trend of SA players wanting to return home.

It’s not just him though. You need a list management group that’s prepared to push out players with value to give him the assets to get the deals done.

Well that doubles his credentials doesn’t it. The guy makes it happen without timing it down with late pick swaps and flourishes., My god, Justin Reid lol.

 

[footy4ever]

this isn’t having a go at you as I am genuinely saying it in a nice way.. but..

I can’t believe people in here don’t watch our sanfl side play.. dont you want to see how the youth can play and how well they are progressing and get excited about it?..

I‘ve actually enjoyed watching our sanfl side over our afl side the last few years!. For obvious reasons and because I am genuinely interested in what we have coming up through the ranks.

and don’t say “I haven’t got the time”…

everyone in here has the time… given how many hours we all spend on here talking s**t about footy all year!

as for Taylor… unfortunately he was injured for a lot of the season but he was there in the later part of the season and he’s definitely something to look forward to.. takes the game on and has great skills, is classy and makes good decisions.

I’m always watching my SANFL side play. Crows are my second team in the SANFL. Tempting divorce proceedings if I’m watching more footy than I already do.
