Welcome Welcome Quinton “Sparkle” Narkle - Delisted Free Agent

[DragoDelph]

The stable pony has arrived.

 

[rgauci]

What a shitty opening post. He’s decent, started the year in great form for Port before ending badly, presumably was playing injured.

 

[MadMundy]

Good to see, wanted him to come across with Clark a few years ago.

 

[Docker82]

See the club needed to use VFL highlights for a guy that played 57 AFL games.

He’s one of ours now so hopefully he proves me wrong.

 

[DragoDelph]

What a shitty opening post. He’s decent, started the year in great form for Port before ending badly, presumably was playing injured.

Yeah, he’ll provide decent depth.

He’s not a starting player, and this is absolutely a move to convince kosi to request a trade next year. Use the relocation funds to help them get home.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

 

[Eski3]

Very handy in a position where we don't have a lot of depth. Will be interesting to see if the club sees him in the 22, will be competing for a spot with Banfield you'd think

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Worthwhile signing regardless of Shai, we don't have enough players who can kick the goals he's slotting in the clubs highlight reel.

 

[freo84]

I'll give anyone we list a chance.

Prove Freo right Narkle!

 

[dont bowl there]

Will probably be the sub a few times in 2025 but I can't see him having any meaningful impact. Not the worst depth though.

 

[freo_leo29]

Any word on contract length

 

[Quazar2]

hope he goes alright, you never know until they lace up the boots and get out there; sure Banfield and the ilk give their all despite being pillared whenever they do anything 'bad'. It's pretty tough when you probably know you're coming in as "depth" - but if you get your chance and can take it, who knows...might prove a few folk wrong. Good luck to him and all the new acquisitions I say

 

[Torree]

Welcome Quinton. Teamed up with his mate and back on home soil will be a handy player for us.

 

[SiempreFreo]

I long to see more of us armchair experts show just some basic respect for a player who is also a real person, not a an inanimate dartboard to be a helpless target for any cheap Slings and arrows. Yes this is a forum for all opinions but the above us mine, and so as legitimate as anyone else’s.

I say welcome to Freo, Quinton Narkle

! And if any of your family visit BF - which they doubtless do - I’d also say most of us are pleased that you are adding to our long, justly proud history of Indigenous players.

 

[arsesmart]

I'll give anyone we list a chance.

Prove Freo right Narkle!

Sometimes you just never know. Third time's a charm.

Welcome Quinton, hopefully home soil will have you thriving.

 

[Taylor]

I think Narkle moves straight onto the list as the next man into the side, we've had a role for a hard working runner. Arguably the most ready to go player we have added after Bolton this off season and the cheapest to bring in.

 

[Purpleheart_56]

It's time to sparkle Mr Narkle...Welcome home!

 

[nurries]

I think Narkle moves straight onto the list as the next man into the side, we've had a role for a hard working runner. Arguably the most ready to go player we have added after Bolton this off season and the cheapest to bring in.

And a few more irons in the fire to try to help to get Kosi here

 

[Joao]

Remember arguing with someone about how he wasn't worth pursuing. Had a recent change of heart. Gun.

The AFL world will look back and laugh at the Cats and Power.

 

[StingBitten]

Glad to get more exciting Indigenous talent on our books.

Just don't know enough about him - is it form or injuries that have kept him out of senior teams? Could a sea-change change it all for him?

 

[Rob]

Not much to lose I guess. Any good games we get out of him is a bonus.

 

[Sully90]

Welcome Sparkle. Hope to see you get the chance to light up Optus.

 

[Big Animal]

another good player pushing the first 23 to a higher standard to hold their spots and a ready to go if we have guys out that isn't a novice.

 

[Arcassius]

Shai and Quinton both have the same manager (Anthony from Empire here in Freo) - if there was ever a 'stable trade' we'd be bringing SPP over next

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Man, now stable pony is off limits. Pretty sure Narkle knows where hes at given he only got back on a list through the MSD and now SSP.

Welcome Sparkle, may you push the kids, bring in Kozzie and leave a trail of downed houses in your first Freo preseason.

 

[mayne iac]

Do the players read BF?
