being on a want list?

Seems like we picked up Parnell instead.

 

[2025]

Last SANFL game he was running in circles to handball rather than kick. Big ? re fitness

100% but it's fun while it lasts.

Big fish has been talked about for years and we have yet to land one

 

[dylan123]

Lol there is no way we are going near a 2.5m / 4 offer

bong water is as bad as the smoke

I don't see why 625k a year for Matt would be so bad as this would only take him to 30 at the end of his contract.

Think this board has forgotten what he can bring to the table.

Biggest issue we have is getting him back to being an inside mid who find the ball himself rather than sitting outside and doing minimal with it. Still a very good player in there and don't see us bring in a strong midfielder if we do let him go.

Port can not possibly have cap room. They added $1.2M to an already swollen cap last trade period.

New management and in a 1st rebuild for 30 years..lets see first

They got rockliff off the books and can trade out a player or 2. Sydney might also look at port and say give us ladhams in a deal for dawson. Plenty of options and i'd back them in to get the player they are after if they really wanted them..they do have form there

Yeh a trade will need to include a decent player on decent money.

They have young players to resign too. Butters, Dursma and Rosee particularly need more money. Also can’t believe WCE and Freo aren’t making big plays for Georgiadies. Port have to be thin on these young players salaries

Concerns from Adelaide indigenous players that the crows indigenous program isn't up to the standard of other clubs and players have spoken with other clubs staff to ask about their programs.

This stems back from another rumour I heard a while ago that the crows indigenous program was all smoke and mirrors and doing the bare minimum. (Fagan/Chapman days)

I hope this isn't related to us choosing to back in Tex.

But who are our indigenous players?
Milera, Newchurch, Davis, McAdam

McAdam is whispered to be going to Freo. No big loss given his form this year. And probably in the clubs interests.

Newchurch a rookie. No chance this is him.

Davis. On the delisting pile, no other club would want him.

Milera. Two knees, and big contract with us. Unlikely another club would want to take on that contract. So again, unlikely.

I call BS.

Our indigenous program which involves more than just education to players, it was also community programs, footy programs etc took a funding hit during covid hence McLeod's tension with the club.

Prior to the Tex's incident the club was starting to bring these programs back with out indigenous players engaged to add their ideas moving forward.

The Tex incident will reconfirm this commitment

Was going to be my point. We don't have any indigenous players with the profile and reach to be saying this. Sounds all made up to me.

Happened at every club. Port's Power Community Ltd had all its board resign (except one or two). Lost their leader in Van Den Berg. Still managed to be charged a hefty "management fee" by the football club mind you.

Losing our 2nd leading goalkicker would not be a good thing for the club.

Of course we do, that's a ridiculous statement.

Definitely agree. Plenty of laughs

IIRC and posters may correct me the term Big Fish, did we first assign that to Jeremy Cameron?

As I still have faith we will get him, when he is washed up at Geelong.

[GROTTO]

Mackay to come out of retirement?

One last ride?

 

[Drewie11]

Jake Kelly

 

[MRB37]

Jake Kelly

I imagine it could also be guys like Gollant also.

 

[jackster83]

Who is still unsigned?

Crouch
Kelly
Gollant
Davis
O'Connor
Strachan
Parnell

 

[johnnypanther]

Hmm positive news to some is negative news to others.

In the context of a long-term aim of building a premiership team , IMO a re-signing of Crouch & Kelly would be very negative news.

 

[FR0GGY]

Crouch
Kelly
Gollant
Davis
O'Connor
Strachan
Parnell

Not a whole lot to get excited about nicksy

Gallant and Strachan. That's about it. Not worried about the rest unless we get Crouch on the cheap.
