Four Big Announcements Leading into Xmas 2015

[HaroldOliver]

To get a player of Dean Gore's ability it was a bargain giving up dangerfield

What were Geelong thinking?

That announcement came from left field. Congrats to Erin and our club, great foresight.

Chad legit wasn't there.

He had surgery the day of the photo shoot last year. In order to get Chad in the team photo they used one of their corporate accountants to "body double". I have the photo of the non photo shopped version with the body double on my laptop somewhere.

West Coast did exactly the same thing last year!

The non- signings are a bigger story than the 4 announcements by the look.

This week has been decent publicity but the substance has been much ado about nothing.

Take your hand off it.

Glad our Christmas promo ain't this

Which netballer are we signing to the womens team?

 

[Portia]

I would've thought soccer and basketball would be better poaching territory than netball; there isn't a lot of ball use, tactical or fitness type overlap between football & netball.

 

[Coobk001]

There we go. Now we've got the Wingard clue.

So I guess the big question is how long will this Wingard contract be, do you reckon that we will lock him away for a big period like Hammer or would his agent have been more cautious given how much he could improve? I think a 4 year deal would be minimum.

The club is bigger than any player and that includes Wingard, Wines, Tredrea or Wanganeen.

The Wines and Wingard contracts will come in due time. If it's going to be after Christmas then so be it. They are too important to be rushed.

In many ways the Erin Phillips contract is up there with Wanganeen coming over from Essendon. Like it or not women footy at the highest level will happen and that is a good thing.

I heard only 2 to 3 years

Which netballer are we signing to the womens team?

for our 2020 'Veterans' competition we are keeping in the pattern of signing knee reconstruction players, PAFC would like to announce inaugural signings David Rodan, Matthew Primus, Josh Francou and Campbell Heath, Port are in rumoured talk with Shaun Rehn and Daniel Menzel but could be thwarted by cross town rival Crows

 

[Steve Dore]

Seeing as you have seen the kid play just how highly do you rate his ability?

Finest of Wines is probably basing his view on those excellent football judges Brenton Phillips and Andrew Capel's assessment of the super impressive Dean Gore.

Yep, soccer for the kicking skills and to a lesser extent keeping possession strategies and skills and basketball for understanding zones and lifting the arms to keep them free as you are getting tackled. As I have written before, if we are going to join the bandwagon of chasing big yanks to come and play footy you would have a preference for guys who played soccer competitively in their junior days as they have the basic bio-mechanics of kicking ticked off.

Just like the title of the first of the first six Star Wars saga films (and fifth best overall), we've got a 'phantom menace' of a clue to today's announcement.

And here is the bonus clue:

 

[Magus]

Haha the club just posted the Chad (Romanian) flag as a bonus clue

 

[Magus]

 

[If it Aint Boak]

Dang, I was going to go with "that's the Romanian flag and Romania is the world's ninth biggest producer of WINES".


Or maybe - Romania is known for having had a dictator that reigned for a very long time, Justin Westhoff contract extension confirmed!!!

 

[manureid]

We are hiring a Romanian weightlifting coach to our Strength and Conditioning team!

 

[Doctor Feel]

I was hoping dolph lundgren was Romanian or something, since he looked like Wines when he was younger.

He's swedish though.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Should have used this

LOL ... this is really the Romanian flag colours, the Chad flag is a darker blue. But who cares, I am pretty sure its a Chad Wingard clue ... Or is the club trolling us again????

 

[Arsene Wenger]

flag is a bad clue... but as if we didn't know already anyway.

 

[Doctor Feel]

1 person missing from team photo.
Romanias capital is 6th largest in the EU.

1 and 6.

Ollie wines confirmed.
