One of many places they need to recruit!
They have a 203cm WA ruckman committed to club but as yet, have not released his details to the public. I would suggest there would be a clause with the player in question in relation to him being drafted into the AFL so they will have to wait until after the draft to announc him or not.
The 204cm ruckman from the WAFL that the Panthers had signed, but not released his name, is now staying in WA.
It turns out he he didn't realise he was still contracted to his WAFL club for season 2010 and South were not willing to pay the fee to get the player over to Adelaide for 2010.
I beleive it was either Josh Krueger or Michael Griffiths, both former Glenelg players.
Must have been Griffiths (the only 203+cm ruckman in the WAFL) . Krueger is 196cm and is more of a KPP. I don't think they're missing out on much; Griffiths played a fair chunk of the year in East Fremantle's ressies
Yep lets look at this bloke's form, 2005 (IIRC) playes most of the year in Glenelg's twos cracks the sads and moves to WA for $$$, 2009 plays most of the years in the twos at East Freo so wants to move back to SA for $$$$. Interesting he chooses South obviously thinks its easy to get a league game there.
I think the bread may have fallen butter side up for South here....
