Rumor summary October 3

• Free agency lodgements for Cumming to Adelaide and Himmelberg to Gold Coast will go through tomorrow (link)
• James Peatling has chosen Adelaide (link)

 

[Mutineer]

Cumming was, but Peatling definitely wasn't.

I 'm pretty sure Peatling played for the GWS Seniors in the then NEAFL in 2019 so I would think given Nicks was an assistant at the time surely they'd have more than crossed paths?

 

[ams4crows]

How do people still not understand how trading future picks works or Free Agency for that matter restricted, unrestricted, compensation and the rules around it?

 

[Mutineer]

I have no idea, does the academy train with the squad?

He certainly played for GWS's Seniors side in the then NEAFL in 2019 so they would surely have crossed paths?

Edit* Just did some googling he played 13 games for GWS Senior side (NEAFL) in 2019

Jeffcrowe would know for sure.

 

[Doctor B]

Maybe I'm a bit slow on this one.
Rookie list up to five years now, depending on games played after the fourth year.

Draft bidding and future picks revamp on hold, 'Jamarra rule' to change

The AFL Commission has approved a raft of player movement rule changes to come in over the next three seasons

www.afl.com.au

• Clubs will be able to retain rookies for up to a maximum of five years, up from the current three years. This is to help give clubs more time to develop key position and taller talents as well as players from different backgrounds. Stipulations will mean the player cannot have played more than 10 games at the end of his fourth or fifth season to retain rookie status.

Yes, LoBu mentioned that they could have interacted, as he was hanging around at the time post academy, even though he was yet to be drafted for the AFL team. Edit: Saw your comment re- 13 games so it is highly likely they crossed paths.

You can have ANY player listed as a rookie for 3 years

If you wish to have rookies past the 3rd year they cannot have played anymore than 10 games

It becomes a 2 tier system

This would make it almost certain that they crossed paths.

 

[1990crow]

We will land Peating, but won't be done there.

I expect some information to come through about our coaching department, a shake up coming.

Alright, I'll bite.
Anything more?

Essendon fire sale!

Looks like they’ll be stuck with “The Package” though. A distinct lack of interest from other clubs there.

There appears to be a culture problem at Essendon, like Carlton for 30 years type boys club levels culture problems.

Including ESS

 

[adelaidecrows]

Including ESS

This is why senior players shouldnt over play their hand. Sometimes clubs gets sick of their shit and mediocre performances.

 

[Danger_zone]

I know it’s early days, but is Peatling who we hoped Pedlar would become ?

 

[GameofSloanes]

Im confident we will tear apart those campaigners in the next Showdown, if we are at full strength.

#justiceforrankine

The video of rankine being sniped will surely be shown multiple times in the rooms leading up to the game

 

[D Style]

I think the challenge for this board is going to be that we have now had a LOT of good news, but there's not really the space for any more.

We've already gotten pretty much all we can get, and trade week hasn't even started yet ...

Only thing left of trade period, is the possibility of a fringe player on our list leaving for more opportunity, out of nowhere I reckon.

#justiceforrankine

Port are not a strong side. Weak overall squad, over reliant on a few players. They went further in the finals than they should have.

They just copied what Jenny said

Top of their list very good. Bottom is utter garbage

sick of that shit .. I love Izak and he's always in the game .. but f*ck our coaches who can't be bothered trying to look after him

 

[GreyCrow]

If you wish to have rookies past the 3rd year they cannot have played anymore than 10 games

It becomes a 2 tier system

As an example Strachan could get year 4 and 5 because he currently has only played 7 games

 

[adelaidecrows]

Top of their list very good. Bottom is utter garbage

Thats what happens when you over achieve, sell your soul for missing pieces and rely on finding gems with over 30s picks to fill a majority of the squad.

 

[Slime Roy]

Seems like everyone wants to come to this debacle of a football club



* we have lots of work to do

Destroynation Club

 

[WetCrow1991]

Tex should try and get a 1 year deal from Cats. Reunite with Danger and have a genuine crack at a flag in his final year.

Unfortunately we already signed him for 2025.

 

[Freshj]

Saw someone comment on FB that Roo hinted at another player on one of his media segments? I'm not in SA so miss alot of this stuff. Did anyone heat this? May have been misheard.
