Yep that’s why I feel they have recruited guys for sanfl like Jez McLennan and made such a kerfuffle of the sanfl rules as they want to be able to make their sanfl strong to give their kids more of a chance to perform

Surely that’s what Atkins is about or maybe they see him as the new Simon Tregenza

Davies said he’s there for SANFL, but these depth players tend to get opportunity as well and they might be able to resurrect his career. He will play some afl as they’ve got no depth

Especially off half back.

Luko was a Crows supporter as a kid, his dad is the Port fan, but as you said, he was never heading to Adelaide.



Can't find it, but there was an old interview before he was drafted, where he said he was a mad Crows fan and his dad used to lock him out of the house because of it. Obviously things changed.

I can give you a million (x 7) things that changed.

yeh that was my memory too

i still reckon the port offer was substantially more and that got it over the line

this thing about playing under rozzee, yeh i dont know. who wants to work for their best friend.... no thanks....
but money and length of deal talks

 

[George Kramer]

Especially off half back.

Atkins defend, I’d like to see that

 

[Vader]

Just as an aside... If we commit to selecting Peatling in the PSD, then that counts towards our minimum 3 ND selections. It would thus be possible that we don't need to upgrade a rookie, and only need to downgrade 1 senior player to the rookie list.

I don't expect this to happen, but it does create another permutation which I hadn't previously considered.

 

[BRL121]

I'm not even sure what comment was said or who said it but people are going to make jokes about pdiddy. It is literally unavoidable in social media and everyday conversations right now. Comedians are using it as content. I've heard comments in the work place about it. It's as viral as it gets.

We all agree the man is a demon though.

Who?

 

[El Doederino]

Triple M rumour this morning was that GWS player suspensions could be as much as 5 games, and was a little cagey when pressed if any of our new players were involved

The guy with the rumour has a pretty strong track record. Can only think of one thing he's got wrong (about Parker being Sydney's sub in the GF)

If Peatling has a suspension hanging over his head, we deserve to know about it.

Someone posted earlier that Morris said our players weren’t involved but hopefully we play GWS early

He defirntely will

He even played for the suns too , not sure Hardwick type though

 

[jackster83]

Are they though?
Anastopolous and Charleston both showed enough to suggest they had AFL potential but have been given zero opportunities. Playing in a totally uncompetitive Powa SANFL team all year is like being sent to purgatory for small forwards.

Being stuck behind proven plonkers like McIntee and Narkle must be pretty demoralising.

 

[Scorpus]

Spending a first round pick on Ratugolea and Soldo, which are both depth players, forcing you to trade Houston to get back into the same draft at roughly the same position, is very funny

 

[119others]

Trade Radio extremely disparaging remarks about Adelaide (the city) just now.

Talking about Soldo staying at Power and someone asked about his partner saying “well she is bored living over there isn’t she” (or similar). So much for independent AFL commentary when they are openly bagging one of the biggest AFL cities in the country. It just adds to negative perceptions that both Power and us have to continue to fight against.

Very poor form.

 

[119others]

Who would win an arm wrestle out of Luko and Atkins? Probably a nil all draw.

Hard man Hardwick in one swoop has cleared out the clubs softies. Thank God we didn’t end up buying, esp with a 6 year contract on huge coin

 

[Bayno82]

If this is true yet another Geelong special where other clubs bend over and take it

More details emerge on GWS’ post-season function which could lead to suspensions and fines

Some details relating to the Giants.

www.sen.com.au

“For Adelaide fans, Isaac Cumming and James Peatling won’t be suspended from the start of the season. They’re not facing suspensions.”

She must have some strong connections in the media. The continuous fapping over her is a joke

 

[119others]

Who?

All over the news for weeks. Perhaps try googling
pdiddy news

Possibly. It was more that AFL Trade Radio commentators were openly disparaging ADL which is totally inappropriate

Fwiw, that page's name is "Totally real and legitimate AFL quotes".

I’d still like him , reckon he’s a talent

 

[Danger in Texas]

Cmon, man

 

[Shifty Crow]

Would he want that ??

It's essentially the same role he has here.

They play a different brand of footy - open up the ground, and run and gun

I think it would suit him as a player

It would have worked better if they were happier to miss out on the draft if it came to that

But they were desperate to get involved

It’s very interesting and kind of opposite to us this draft , we’ve basically traded out ( other than pick 4 )

Will be interesting to see how it pans out for both clubs , we won’t know for 3-5 years

No doubt not having 3-4 picks in this draft isn’t optimal. That said, we needed experienced older players NOW and we have achieved that. But there is a trade off with our distinct lack of draft picks besides pick 4 and Welsh.

Understandable strategy based on so many years out of finals and Nicks precarious position but ideally we did it last year instead
