Player MOVEMENTS and DISCUSSION for 2013

[Brodlach]

Interesting that the two clubs with salary cap issues have been so very active in the off-season.

They had to be otherwise they would end up with no recruits. Had to be signed off by the SANFL by last Tuesday

[FlyingHigh]

SA Sporting Gurus also tweeted that Henry Slattery and Andrew Hayes have signed with the Maggies and are already training with them, while Port have secured Will Northeast (son of Paul) from the Eagles...

Jacob Surjan has also signed on with the Port Magpies after not making it onto another AFL list...

BP, is Will Northeast a father-son situation?

Not sure mate. I think he was playing at the Eagles initially because I'm sure I read or heard somewhere Will was playing junior footy over in Moonta, which is the Eagles zone.

Perhaps the Maggies just wanted to get him over because he is the son of and saw something in him...

[FlyingHigh]

Yeah, he has been in the Eagles junior system for a number of years because of residence, so a bit surprised if the Eagles said he was not required or disappointed if he left of his own accord, but that's the way it is I suppose.

Does Central picking up a ruckman in the min-draft water down the rumour that they have signed Cam wood?

Was thinking that myself...

My mail is that a number of SANFL clubs have approached Wood prior to and after the draft and, as well as quite a large $$$ contract demand, he is reasonably settled in Melbourne and not really looking at returning to Adelaide? I guess if you throw enough $$$ at him he might reconsider?

[Dogwatcher]

You can never have enough ruckmen.
Especially experienced ones.

[RustyCage]

Williamstown have signed Former Collingwood and Brisbane Lions Ruckman Cameron Wood for season 2013.

[on the rails]

No surprise to see him sign for a stand alone VFL club given the AFL doesn't impose / monitor the same $$$ cap restrictions to the VFL and Vic Country leagues as it imposes along with import rules on the SANFL.

As mentioned on the cricket topic.

Ex St.Kilda footballer Daniel Archer has signed with a SANFL club, was revealed during the tea break of the cricket, his a Tasmanian and was a contestant in the fast bowling comp.

Anyone know which club he has signed for.

Thinking Central have a good record from Tassie so maybe them, North Adelaide have an ex St.Kilda player there so maybe a connection.
