Recruiting 2013

[eaglehaslanded]

Port's best recruit is Hayes, West have lost their heart, as too have North. We have lost Sansbury & The Twins but they were almost gone anyway, Sturt, South, Glenelg don't appear to have progressed, The Eagles have lost a lot of good players too, Norwood have lost quality as well, hard to say what will happen. I think that, at this early stage, top 5 will be Norwood, Central, Eagles, dunno, dunno! bottom 4 might be easier. Sturt, West, South. So, 4th, 5th & 6th is between Port, Glenelg & North.

Glenelg have made a habit of finishing 6th...

If Bunton is onto something re. Norwood, you can forget any recruits with a strong squad already and a serious audit on the way again in 2013!
There's a new Sheriff in town gentlemen

I believe the Audit is done and dusted and the sheriff found that we scraped in by a bees dick and there was nothing illegal

I think you'll find that he has had nothing to do with anything pertaining to 2012 (Boundaries, Club audits) and rightly so considering he was at the Wiggles for most of the year.

Norwood are smart enough to know that their salary cap will have to be spot on in 2013 with the squad they still have, that's really my point.
Losing Cachia and Batboy will obviously help nicely!

Ainger (CHF) Kirk (CHB) Borholm (2nd Ruck) Mitchell (Wing) should instantly fill the obvious weaknesses at the Eagles, allowing Godden and Norman to focus heavily on getting the midfield up to a sustainable level with the top clubs in the comp.
Powell, Rowntree,Goldsworthy and Kane will provide the bigger bodies inside for many younger lads to grab their chance at league level.
Byron Sumner, Poole, Appleton, Dawson, Allmond plus one or two country guys will be expected to fight it out for spots onball, replacing Cicca and Shirley who were sometimes liablities last year due to their lack of pace and age!
The Eagles seem to have gone back to 2006 in going for balance with their list giving Godden options like Fuller enjoyed.
If Norman can work his magic on a questionable midfield, then a top three finish should be achievable after settling on players that step up and grab their opportunities.

Forgot the other big recruit, Lachlan Carey. Any bloke on $45k would have to be a walk up start to be in the starting 18.

You had better hope Ainger performs considering you have paid way over the odds.

Who says he is that bad? I said you forgot about him and considering the dollars he is getting you would think he would be in the starting 18.

Wonderful news for us !

Few talls is what we are desperate for and it looks like we have recruited them well.

Looking forward to watching them this year.

Great work by the club

Jordan Taylor was reccomended to the club by former player Rob Hawkins.

Of note all players are "talls" which should suit us. There are plenty of players at 194cm who are playing in the ruck. Time will tell.

[dedja]

Couldn't make the side when Ronnie was there maybe? ... just saying

[DOC]

You think he's played football at any level? Doubtful. Ron knows of him quite well.

Ron says he's an Eagles special supporter so we should give him some slack, To quote Ron, "Don't have psychological warfare with unarmed people".
