Cheeky! If he commences on the wrong date he'll be the butt of the club's jokes, and he'll find it hard to co-rectum.

he'll go ok, he's pretty anal

Should avoid finishing bottom then.

That would be a hole different story. If that happens I'd imagine he'd get the arse.

Word from the Eagles is that Rhyan Mansell is to be rookied by Richmond. How can this happen if he was not selected in the rookie draft. What an absolute joke

AFL (Offal) do whatever they want. They don't care about State Leagues. SANFL just bends over and says thank you can we have another one.
More to come with drafting round 4, 8 & 12.

he's going to give it a red hot crack.

When are Glenelg announcing their coach?

I've heard from my source that there are a number of new players out there. A GWS academy player who never got drafted, a player from PA and Glenelg but no names. A few more coming soon. .

We have named the GWS academy player and the Glenelg bloke who never played league yet. Out of the named recruits so far you couldn't hold your hand on your heart and truly belive they will be decent league footballers.

Definitely hopefully a few more coming and by few more I mean blokes who are high level SANFL footballers not country boys 'trying out the big smoke' or 'talented youngsters who couldn't crack it another SANFL club.

Over the years, players have come from suburban and country comps (esp Victoria) and done very well. Get a chance and take it. Sometimes crossing from one club to another in the same comp is just what they need to get a chance, like Scott Lewis from Glenelg to the Eagles (did he also have a crack at Westies?)

Sometimes a junior just blooms when he becomes a man playing in the mens comp. WE had one (McCreery) last year who over 3 seasons went from a junior at Hallet Cove, to an u/18 at South but trained his guts out and out of the blue played league footy all this year. Drafted by Collingwood at pick43(?) to cap off a meteoric rise.

South got Liddle and Cross out of the Eastern Footy League in Melbourne and you blokes had a pair of brothers from Sorrento(?) who I would say were instrumental in a premiership or two.

You just never know.

Absolutely but our recruiting from country comps and other sanfl club has been more miss than hit in recent times, a lot of too good for reserves not good enough for league types.

We are desperately crying out for elite talent, we have enough ok league footballers.

If your talking about the Gowans they were directly recruited from St Kilda when delisted there along with Healy at the end of 1999.

Yep.

We need more elite players

Maybe after they have interviewed former Norwood Footballers ?

Pretty sure the decision’s been made.

Jake Weidemann, son of ex-Crow Wayne Weidemann, and former Redleg Luke Surman join Port
The son of a former Crows cult figure and an ex-Redleg headline Port Adelaide’s SANFL signings ahead of the 2021 season.

Port Adelaide is close to finalising its SANFL-only contracted playing list for next season.
The club announced five new signings exclusively to The Messenger with Jake Weidemann – the son of former Adelaide Crows cult figure Wayne Weidemann – headlining the list.
Port has also secured the signature of ex-Norwood and Hawthorn forward Luke Surman, as well as Jake Westbrook from Woodville-West Torrens, Dylan Aldridge (North Adelaide) and Campbell Wildman (Sturt/Prince Alfred Old Collegians).
The signatures come after Port picked Collingwood premiership defender Tyson Goldsack in last week’s rookie draft with an aim of providing its young SANFL team with much-needed experience.
Wiedemann featured in 13 reserves games for the Eagles this year after being unable to crack into the strong senior line up, which went on to win this year’s SANFL flag.


The now 21-year-old nominated for the 2017 AFL draft after representing SA at the national under-18 championships, but was not selected.
Port’s SANFL manager Shane Grimm said the club would look to add two more players to its ‘top-up’ list.
Grimm said Wiedemann was keen to don the black and white prison bars despite his father playing 68 games for Adelaide between 1991-96.
“Jake has probably played out of position a little (at the Eagles), he’s tended to have to play in a key position role a little bit,” Grimm said.
“I think he just wanted to try something different.
“It was a very easy sell for us, we didn’t have to push too hard and he seems very keen and the Crows side hasn’t even been mentioned, he was just keen to be involved at Port Adelaide.”
Surman, meanwhile, was on Hawthorn’s list in 2017 before he walked away from an AFL career, returned to SA and joined Norwood.


The 23-year-old lined up in five league matches and six reserves games with the Redlegs this year.
“Luke was a good one because we are looking for a key forward who can ruck a little bit, at SANFL level that’s probably something we need,” Grim said.
“ I think he sees it as maybe another (AFL) opportunity if he can do the right thing in an elite environment around some elite players who might help his game go to the next level.
“With us having the ability to list players mid-season … we do like to do it and not disrupt other SANFL clubs too much, it’d be good to have somebody close by who we already know about.”
Grimm said the club was keen to return to the SANFL after withdrawing from the competition this year following an AFL directive because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We’ve managed to pick up a few guys with a bit of league footy experience but who are reasonably young which is good,” Grimm said.
“We are really looking forward to (getting back).”
The 2021 SANFL fixture is set to be released in February.

Are Port and Crows going to rip country club players from their clubs to sit on the bench/ play 1 quarter again?

I'm pretty sure they had made their selection when the applicant decided to withdraw. Maybe second choice now gets it.

I'm pretty sure the Glenelg player is Seb Kerrish, think he played a couple of league games.

Is that a recruit for centrals reserves or the Eagles reserves.
