Port have missed out on Perryman, he's chosen Collingwood

anti-destination club.

 

[1990crow]

I thought Wright quit Collingwood because he was burnt out by Football club land.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Nor would I.

The point im making is its easy to say "we shouldve taken a mid" and in most cases, particularly 2018 and 19, but its not that simple.

I agree. Can include 2020.

 

[pjcrows]

I thought Wright quit Collingwood because he was burnt out by Football club land.

A bit like Hardwick?

 

[Mutineer]

I'm not sure I'd take Ward over Rachele.

You're not sure?

 

[1990crow]

A bit like Hardwick?

Maybe.

 

[Amacca 23]

Maybe.

And maybe tim silvers has been in his ear about this for a while ?

Geez that would be better than awesome.

Bet AFL House will poke an oar in the water too…..

 

[Hodgy]

Who are the mids we should have taken?

I genuinely dont know.

I actually love both picks, and if we had taken Butters and Serong in the previous drafts then we’d have an awesome side now with those picks. My point is about philosophy not actual players, and taking Jones, MaCasey, Ned and even Rachelle showed we felt we had a good enough midfield at the time. That take was erroneous at best and I feel the club has finally realized it.

Nothing annoys me more than Hamish saying that you draft on talent not needs in the first round. How’s that worked out for you Hamish?

 

[bettingonbetts]

Liking the positivity on this board!

Last week before cumming picked us I felt depressed when reading the Adelaide board lol, nothing but negative comments.

 

[Mutineer]

I thought Graham Wright was likely setting himself up to "go home" and be part of the inaugural Tassie AFL set up....interesting

He still may well do that, but nice to see us having a crack.

This wouldnt of just happened probably 12 months ago it started ?

That would be a great get but we are going to offer him the keys to the city.
Hopefully Silvers has done a good job of selling Adelaide.

Depending on what his role is does he have to live in Adelaide? Reid is based in Melbourne.

[JimmyTheScoop]

We should employ Rory and Belinda as part of our recruitment team. Rory can easily talk about moving from interstate and Belinda for the Wags and lifestyle.

I think players partners have been often overlooked for the impact on decision making.

 

[Pugsley]

Depending on what his role is does he have to live in Adelaide? Reid is based in Melbourne.

You would think if he is helping out Nicks he would be relocating.

 

[Apsaalooke]

Nothing annoys me more than Hamish saying that you draft on talent not needs in the first round. How’s that worked out for you Hamish?

Wouldn’t be so bad if Hamish could actually pick talent

What an odd statement.

Mate

Do you want success or not?

The coach cops the brunt but our footy department is not good enough dem Kelly down.

Take a look at all the successful coaches, and the level of quality the have above and under them.

McRae had Wright, and assistants like Leppa and Bolton as asst coaches who are both ex senior coaches

I’m all for holding Nicks to acct but OMG this Nicks pile-on without seeing the broader issues is laughable

Let’s at least give the guy the playing list and football department resources to give it a real crack

Would that end up being like poking a stick in the spokes?

Well there is that.

 

[Cromulant]

Strange comment, even if i do kinda understand it

 

[Cromulant]

Well there is that.

Plenty of talent on the list......

 

[Draft Bored]

The only downside of Perryman choosing Collingwood is they're in the race for Peatling also.

If Perryman had landed at Port, Peatling would have had both Perryman & Cumming moving to SA with him. Happy WAGS.
