[Big Phil]

A former Crows Rookie is close to signing with another SANFL club that is not his original side.

Tim Milera or Will Young?

Nope. On their list this season.

Tim McIntyre to Norwood

Not quite.

I'm referring to doing the team things on the field. Not positional

O'HARA SET TO LEAVE DOGS

Central District is conceding it will almost certainly lose 2013 Best-and-Fairest winner Brayden O’Hara, who is set to move to Albury next year.

O’Hara, who claimed the Norm Russell Medal on Saturday night by just two votes, is seeking to live with his partner Teegan Dolling, who is a television journalist.

And unless the Bulldogs can help Dolling find work in Adelaide, O’Hara is likely to continue his career in the Ovens and Murray Football League next season.

‘’We’ve been desperately trying to find her (Dolling) work here but we can’t,’’ Central chief executive Kris Grant said.

‘’As a consequence, because they have lived apart for 12 months, it unfortunately looks like he (O’Hara) is going to move there (Albury).

‘’It is a huge blow for us but it is one that is out of our control.’’

O’Hara also won the club’s Most Consistent Award after finally ridding his body of niggly injuries which have previously plagued him during pre-season training.

‘’I think the consistency sums it up well,’’ Grant said.

‘’He’s also had two or three years of injury and this year he was able to do a full pre-season which enabled him to get fit enough to play in the midfield. That has reflected in his performance.’’

Midfielders are high on Central’s recruiting agenda considering O’Hara and Runner-up Best-and-Fairest James Boyd – who has been told he is not required – won’t be at Elizabeth next year.

‘’We are talking to plenty but it is still early days,’’ Grant said, adding they are also searching for key position players.

‘’We are really looking for guys with pace but also with an ability to get in and under as well.’’

Ruckman Seb Guilhaus could also be an absentee in 2014, with the bigman possibly staying in Darwin where he has begun playing in the NTFL.

At the Best-and Fairest function, tribute was paid to the club’s three former presidents who passed away in 2013, Robert Zerella, Norm Russell and Les Stevens.

‘’We’ve lost three former presidents all in one year so it has been pretty difficult all round,’’ Grant said.

Time to bump the "Are Centrals Imploding" thread.
A couple of massive losses there, could really drop back to the pack next year

It could also pave the way for others to step up, a lot predicted North's losses from 2012 would see them slide, in the end the opposite happened

A few recruits didnt hurt either

Alex Forster to return to Norwood if not re-drafted.

The injury set back didn't help his AFL career, especially when he missed most of his first season due to injury and wasn't able to find his way onto the field until this year. Hopefully he can find his way onto another AFL list . . . . after having a great season at Norwood

And Central will add quite a few this off-season...

If they can land them

Of course...

They are not going to get all they are after but they will get a couple of quality signings, I have no doubt...

[SDK]

Every club will again be back to square one with losses to draft, Crows, Power and retirement. This will be the norm for good now.
Last year Norwood and North had big losses and were predicted to slip down the ladder but they both played in the GF.
Pure guess work on who will improve or fall.
Having said that you would think Centrals are even further behind the 8 ball with some quality losses not budgeted for.
We need an even close, completion and we should again get that.

[Dogwatcher]

Who predicted Norwood would drop down the ladder?
