Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

[Mutineer]

Richards was competing with Shultz and Bobby Hill

Ports small forwards are really poor outside Rioli , I think he’s chosen a weaker team for more opportunities

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.

Might be good but unproven , not established like Hill , Shultz McCeery etc so makes sense for Richards to come to more opportunities

If Richards is fit he will almost definitely play round 1

 

[Jarman3]

Port didn't want to lose Houston though, it was just the only option they had with any currency after expressing a desire to leave. They also clearly thought it would net them more than pick 13 and Atkins haah

There's still some time left for them to work some other deals. They might be able to on-trade 13 and Atkins for a pick in the 20's

 

[Vader]

Is he confusing the psd with the nd?

No, PSD is correct.

Given the picks we have left, there is no chance that Peatling would still be available by the time we wanted to select him if he nominated for the ND. There's not a snowball's chance in He'll that he doesn't get picked up before pick 64.

The option being discussed is getting Peatling to delist himself from GWS, and nominate for the PSD (bypassing the ND). Adelaide have pick 4 in the PSD, and would only need to worry about being gazumped by Norf, Richmond, and West Coast. Even so, that's still a significant risk.

They have to want these players..... would you??

they might have we actually tried? theyve lost five experienced players

i could see them wanting smith the most ironically

I doubt that very much.

 

[Vader]

The fact the crows are so desperate to keep a second rounder for next year says they are still potentially looking to trade their first rounder for a pick this year I reckon they are still trying to pull Dodson if he is still around at end of first round

It says no such thing.

How do they get proven if they're not given opportunities? Powa' s development from within is ratshit in recent times.

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

Of course he could casually let it slip his GF will be locating to Adelaide and he plans to be with her so will need to be travelling there weekly to see her but if that is a problem, maybe tbose 3 clubs might decide to pass on picking him

It makes sense.

It's why we hang onto certain blokes on our list a little too long, which may change with the change in SANFL rules.

Having the kids fend for themselves at SANFL level doesn't help development much

Definitely

It’s never really admitted in media but there is definitely some strategy to try and keep reserves team competitive for all clubs

Harder in sanfl historically due to the rules ( and blatant cheating umpires ) hence port and crows have wanted to jump ship

 

[Crowked]

Could we trade 2X f3 for a likely low f2 with someone looking for points next year? Then give it to GWS

Luko supported Port as a Kid, his best mate in Rozee, he was never heading to Adelaide

Can he be a good player for port - yes, do I think he will get to his draft ranking elite player potential - no

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.

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.

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?

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
