Mega Thread Port Forum General AFL Thread Part 26

A Crows forward has “quit the club” in a move that left Adelaide “disappointed” and not yet ready to part with the 28-year-old. Shane McAdam has informed the Crows of his “intention to consider rival offers” after managing just seven games in 2023. It comes after SEN SA’s Michelangelo Rucci told his listeners McAdam had “quit the club”. “(McAdam) rejecting a two-year offer when he wanted three,” Rucci said. “He has had talks with Melbourne and will seek a trade to Melbourne.

Should walk to the PSD and play for Hawthorn while Wingard is out.

 

[Troopsy]

Yet another wanting out is amusing, but at 28 years of age, I'd rather he stay there, keeping youth out of the side, off a few late season goals, when half the sides are already mentally on vacation.

McAdam is 28? Holy crap I thought he was like 23-25.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

McAdam is 28? Holy crap I thought he was like 23-25.

That's because they always included him when talking about their promising youth

 

[tribey]

I genuinely did not know Matthew Bishop played for Melbourne too (it was just before my time watching footy but still).

One of the many home runs in that 96-03 period that resulted in rival clubs seemingly no longer wanting to do deals with Port from 04-onward.

 

[Portology]

...to their own viewing demographic 28 is still a promising youth.

Why does Adelaide lose so many indigenous players all the time?

Oh that’s right…..

How good would David Hynes be playing now, athletic tough good kick great mark team player compare him to Teakle Hayes Lycett frightening.

I seen him Grand final day 94 playing for West Coast, he was massive nothing like the Port Adelaide Hynes.

 

[Powertron]

Bit disappointed with McAdam leaving…standards are really slipping with the quality of player wanting out.

Once upon a time it was Dangerfield, Lever, Cameron, Gunston etc level talents.

Heard Reid is not a great bloke.

Huh? He played some great games for us including a grand final, I’m pretty sure.

I had to read it several times. I believe there is an ill advised missing comma.

I’m talking about how much muscle he had compared to his time at Port.
Most of the West Coast players on GF day 94 looked huge compared to Geelong.

A football figure could join the AFL Commission as soon as the coming days, with a former Giant the likely pick as it stands.
Michelangelo Rucci provided an update on the league’s process on SEN SA’s The Run Home, stating numerous candidates have been interviewed in recent weeks. The AFL Commission has not had a football figure since 2021, the year both Jason Ball

and Kim Williams departed the league’s board. It’s understood the AFL is in a position to elevate a new Commissioner with Andrew Dillon’s appointment as CEO-elect earlier this year.

Leigh Matthews recently pulled out of the process after becoming disenchanted with the league’s methods, while Matt De Boer is another name to be floated. “We need to have a football person on the AFL Commission,” Rucci began. “There have been four candidates interviewed right in Gillon McLachlan’s house actually in recent days and weeks.
“There was a South Australian contender, don’t push me on who it is because there’s a bit of confidentiality on this, but a former player in this town. He will not be on the Commission.” He added: “We heard Caroline Wilson float Matt De Boer… I’m hearing it’s not Matt De Boer, it’s actually Phil Davis

I couldn't work out wtf he meant. That missing comma changes it entirely!

Don't push me on this because there's a bit of confidentiality.

Btw it's Phil Davis
