Cheers
P.S. More news to come from the Ponderosa.

Whilst the Club hasnt announced it, the local newspaper has... 3 Neagle Brothers, son of the late Merv and brother of Jay have signed with the Dogs. Matt at 23 is the eldest and had 7 AFL recruiters asking after him before suffering a compound arm fracture in August.
The Dogs were one of several Clubs trying to entice the lads over.

Thanks bulldogproud and northerner.

Menz back at the CDFC after five years. Still only mid twenties and will give opposition back-men a few headaches for us.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Neagle brothers at the CDFC. Here's a look at them:-

Essendon were pretty close to taking him as a F/S this year and I’d imagine a good year in the SANFL and he could get a spot

Yes. My bad. In fact Jydon is 23 Matt 20 and Jaxon 19. Jydon and Matt both likely to make an impact from the get go, Jydon as a lead up mid size forward and Matt as on baller/defender.

Matt is a very good player and hopefully has recovered from his horrific injury. Unless Jydon has improved markedly I think he may struggle over here

Seen them both play a few matches Jim?

A good article (and video highlights) of Matt in action:

Saw Jydon a couple of times when he was in our VFL program and he struggled at the time but that was a couple of years ago now.
Haven’t seen much of Matt at all apart from bits and pieces of footage and I know that regular VFL watchers and a couple of club officials were hoping he would sign with our VFL club as they rate him. They will definitely be keeping a close eye on him

Old news, but Tom Fields a confirmed OUT for South.

I have seen that footage before. He was also playing as the 23rd man for our VFL side that year but failed to be selected in the draft. He came back to our VFL side in 2015 also

Great. I hope he plays one season for us and gets drafted. I would be so happy and proud.

This comp is so piss weak now it doesnt take much to go from bottom to top, if he gives us one year, wins a flag and gets drafted im sure even you might crack a smile

Well, yes OK in that scenario, yes I would crack a smile. In fact I would be extremely happy.

Josh Donohue (Returning / PNU)
Corey Grove (Port / North / Pt Pirie)
Charlie Hay (West Adelaide / Prince Alfred)
Mitch Coles (Norwood Jnr / Barmera Monash)

JD back to fill the gaping hole after Caleb Edmead retired? Grove is an interesting one, whenever I saw him always looked to have the attributes to be handy at this level but just didn't do it often enough.

Sounds like he'd fit in well at North Adelaide!

Jake Neade signs with North, looks like a replacement for Robbie Young.

That's a good pick up !
