Poaching Spuds

[TiggyTig]

Yeah back around 2005ish we had a craving for Hawthorne sloppy seconds

I miss the 90s and early 2000s when Geelong would take all our dud key forwards.

I don't.

 

[The 747]

Didn’t the Saints trade Pick 90 for Steven King and Charlie Gardiner?

Think so. Instead of delisting them we took a nominal pick to get them to their club of choice. King was reasonable for them though - for a year at least - Gardiner played one good game first up and that was it.

Kerridge . Great athlete. Terrible footballer

 

[Enviable Tradition]

He would have meant Mitch Farmer, not Banner

Oh yes. Very similar players.

[Enviable Tradition]

Oh yes. Add him to the list

Banner was straight to the VFL after being delisted by Port. May be thinking of Adam Thomson

So

Mitch Farmer
Matt Thomas
Andrew Moore
Troy Chaplin
Adam Thomson.

That's a fair list of spuds from one club to another.

Kepler Bradley - More bad than good at Essendon, had some absolute howlers thats for sure. Marginally better at Freo though.

 

[King_Steele]

Fergus Watts.

Barry Brooks.

I don't have good memories of Sam Power. Doesn't mean much though.

I was shocked Port had any interest in Lindsay Thomas..

don't be surprised … Port have a large number of father sons picks coming over the next 4 years (Mead x 2 , Schofield, Burgoyne x 2 , Wanganeen, Francou & Monty etc) and we need some players like Thomas who are at the end of their playing time to mind the position until we draft them ..

 

[Nihilus]

Impey has been excellent. I'm glad you let him go too

with the number of father sons coming through shortly we couldn't keep him .. unfortunately

besides he is best mates with Jacko (who promised Impey's father that he would look after him)

Jordan McMahon to Richmond. One way runner, downhill skiier extordinaire.

Somehow netted us pick 18 (Ward) who went to GWS netting us compo pick 6 (Macrae) who already has a 2nd in the B&F to his name and would be leading the B&F this year by streets.

Jordy, the gift that keeps on giving.

Really surprised Port picked Toumpas and then Trengove two years later. Toumpas genuinely showed nothing at afl level and whilst they got Trengove for free there is no way he can play afl at a decent level again (I’d love for him to prove me wrong but he’s cooked).

Toumpas was a gamble (to see how he went in his home state). It was worth the Gamble but he will be replaced with a future father son player …

Trengove has been doing ok in the SANFL and if he does well then all well and good .. but if he doesn't then he will be replaced with another father son player

Ty Zantuck.

 

[Clint Bizkit]

Had a great GF but one game.

Handy one game to do it in.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Why'd he offer him a contract then?

A Collingwood fan should be aware that the senior coach isn’t the Mayne bloke that offers contracts.

 

[giantsully]

I remember watching a game vs WCE at the SCG and thinking that Matt Spangher must be comfortably the worst footballer in the AFL. 2 months later the Swans drafted him. Sigh.

The greatest trick that Clarkson ever pulled must have been turning Spangher into a premiership player.

Port Adelaide 2018, / thread

Still spewing Motlop and Rocky tore you a new one?

 

[Tandy]

I remember him. Played decent footy playin a lone hand for a bit. Then left and was delisted.

Reminds me of Ben McKinley? Was that his name?

Strangely enough I was on Wikipedia a few days ago and stumbled across his page. Was shocked to see McKinley actually won the WCE leading goalkicker one year. Must have spudded it up at North to just get delisted.

I don't remember much so I'd like to know what happened there as well.

Still better than what Gysberts ended up doing in comparison though. What a dumb pickup...

And McMahon got us Dusty which got us a flag. Good deal all round.

Kicked the last goal of the game, Melbourne finished on 4 wins, Richmond on 5. Richmond lose and they get pick 1 which they possibly use to pick Scully or Trengove.

That's not a sensible list management strategy for a team close/in a premiership window. Take a local SANFL guy for a year as a rookie and give them a shot instead. Clearly Port were keen to cut some guys and go for cheap depth options, I don't mind that and I get the Trengove pick up - high quality person, will lead the way in the SANFL side, and if that's the reason for Thomas I get that, but not because you want someone you can cut.
