Speculation Tom Clurey [UFA 2025]

"Been told to assess his options which he has been doing that for a couple of years, he wants to play senior footy, he's ready to do that, and he's got a contract for next year. West Coast's coach appointment is a factor in this one but there is a level of interest from the eagles so we wait and see if they make him their man as a key defensive option." - Cal Twomey

well today I learned Tom Clurey was still on Ports list. I thought he was delisted years ago
 
I wouldnt want to give up as pick in this years draft for him, and I wouldnt want him to be getting regular games either.
Purely as depth its not the worst option in the world

Surely his reason for moving can't be for a guarantee of senior games. No club can offer him that. The best he'd get is a 2-year offer to sit on a list as depth, rather than the 1 year he's got left on his contract at Port. I'm happy enough to take him at the Eagles under those conditions, and who knows, maybe he turns out a better option than Harry Edwards, or maybe McGovern gets injured.
 
He has had a bit of a shocking run with injuries.

I can see him as a depth player at a developing club with a young backline.

It would be nothing more than a token pick and I think Port would do the right thing by him if there was a serious contract for him.

Port would be happy to let him go so a pick the Eagles wouldn't use would get it done. Basically a free agent pick

On big bucks for running around in the magoos.
 
Id expect us to improve our draft hand not weaken it in such a deal

If Port can eek out like pick 40 from North in a Houston trade then something like pick 59 for Clurrey + 40 would work with us taking 100% of his salary on
If a trade happens it will be a 5th round pixk. One that neither club will use.

would come in handy for Ky Burgoyne.
I’m not sure Ky (Shaun’s son) will get drafted. Maybe as rookie. But he didn’t come on at all this year.

Rome Burgoyne (Peter’s son and Jace’s brother) might go late in the draft, but more likely a rookie pick.

Understand Port Adelaide defender Tom Clurey will be released from his contract with a year remaining on his deal. Amicable situation. 30yo still feels he has plenty to give and knows that's unlikely to happen at Alberton. Club set to announce list changes soon
