Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

[Chances Are]

Where a player gets taken in the draft order isn't always a good indicator of talent...All Australians Lachie Neale. Tom Stewart and James Sicily were all 3rd rounders.

I agree you're correct. I'm merely pointing out at the beginning of this year he was touted as a top10 pick now not so much.

 

[Chances Are]

I'll be surprised if it's any earlier than late 20s.

Me too.

Happens every year, players slide and rise throughout the year. Welsh still has an 8 goal game the one time he played u18 level this year for WWT. Sounds like this is a pretty stacked draft so its no wonder a 190 ish cm forward who didn't set the world on fire at the champs has slid down the order.

Yep, as more information comes to hand, the order is refined. He's not slipping to 30 despite being a top 10 talent, he's slipping because his performances aren't worthy of being selected any earlier.

Hey man, I'm just here to **** around.

Just for everyone's benefit: BE MORE FUNNY

Hey man, I was being funny, or trying to (it was a quote from a famous Monty Python sketch, emoji and all ).

For your benefit: seek (humour) and ye shall find.

Not a rumour just an observation. The Fertiliser runs a fluff piece on Adelaide’s recruiting department and in it
Hamish describes Alex Woodward as a “Superstar human the type any organisation would value”.

I’m feeling Hamish to head up the Devils recruitment announcement coming at years end.

Dan Houston insists his future is at Port Adelaide despite being linked with a return to his home state Victoria.

There goes two 1st rounders for Port and therefore Draper.

Does the article mention what kind of role Woodward has with us? Is it just a scout?

Interesting call. Does maybe give the impression of a handover brewing. Will watch with interest. I hadn't heard his name before

I'm assuming the best person for the job is someone already working for us and know the "AFC way".
That they have a recommendation by a failed recruiter (position up for grabs), even better.

Don't think it's anything other than a part time scout..

Any thoughts on Tom Powell. He's playing well for North, but should be back with us playing for his Dads club!

We could have had also Serong in the side as well.

Just noting his BOG in the derby over the weekend.
