Possible Recruits 2010 (unofficial)

[am Bays]

NT Thunder very keen to talk to Josh Cubillo now that he is out of contract at Sturt. Stuey Totham ex-Sturt CEO and now CEO of NT Thunder would obvioulsy have a good idea of what Josh is on and what it would take to match Sturt. Josh having finished his teaching degree may not be adverse to going home.

Sturt dhould be thankful Patty Fittock has two years to go as NT Thunder are after
key position players which is what Patty would be for them.

[whatever]

I can confirm both Zac Millar (ex North Adelaide) and Craig Taylor (ex Sturt/Port) both of which played div2 ammos with Eastern Park last season will be doing a full pre season with Centrals with the hope of getting either a senior or reserves contract.

Most people will probably say that they have no hope of breaking into the Dogs league side but you never know, many wouldn't have thought Ware, Slattery, Jenner and Nason would have done as well as they have. So goodluck to these two lads.

I would have thought Jenner and Slattery have underperformed since being at elizabeth, that may be a bit harsh on Slattery though.

Zac Miller is the enigma.

Slattery played in the premiership team in his only complete season with us and Jenner was stiff to be dropped for the GF due to players returning from injury. I wouldn't call this underperforming.

Yes , the Eagles in the Fuller / Stevens / Fantalaftos era almost perfected the " not delivered " aspect of recruiting ; they were scary good especially in 08 ....... ah the memories of Gogel at full back ..... what a day , even Fuller was enjoying it so much , he left him on old man Hargreaves for a full bollocking of 10 goals . Its really great sadness all three amigos are gone ..... ah well theres always Little Britain repeats on tv !

Eagles had Shane Valenti signed, sealed but not delivered before he was rookie listed by Melbourne. Don't think they would be interested now.

I remember the B & F a few years ago. Slatts was leading for quite a while until he got injured. I think Jenner played all but one or two games this year. Pretty good effort given the strength of the side. Not exceptional, but still good for the team.

Has any club needing a ruckman looked at Wayde Skipper delsited by his afl club and rumoured to be leaving his vfl club and heading interstate?

[Dutchy]

If Skipworth is to play anywhere I dare way it would be back with the Eagles, especially as his cousin plays there

Any comments from North fans regarding the prospect of Skipworth playing in the SANFL again?

I think you'll find he'll end up over in the WAFL Mickyj, but I reckon he would be a good ruckman at SANFL level...

[Big Phil]

Will be interesting if Nick Lower and Jon Giles, both delisted by the Power, get picked up by another AFL club and if not, will they stay with their respective SANFL clubs, Norwood and Central ?

[blueandwhite]

All this chat about recruits to Norwood has me somewhat bemused... wasnt Norwood the club that was found guilty of breaching salary cap rules and fined and barred from recruiting anyone for next season by the sanfl.....?
someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[GWW]

I think they can still recruit ex Norwood juniors.

[Big Phil]

A former Tiger is back in Adelaide with business interests after playing a few seasons interstate and looking to get back into the SANFL...

tommy hamilton from eastern park has been asked to do preseason as well, the kid can play thats for sure.
good size body, fit as and good over head.

everyone is saying that Skippy will play for the Eagles if he comes back, but he could get more money and play under his good mate at South Adelaide

My understanding is that Skipworth is quite highly regarded as a mentor amongst the playing group at Essendon, if that is so, he could well go to South, yet perhaps in a coaching role as opposed to a playing role. Ron will no doubt be choosing his Assistant Staff and it could be that he sees some merit in an appointment like that?

why not as a playing & assistant coach ? (at either south or wwt)

WWT have signed Jason Torney as their Assistant Coach, yet I am not sure if the other coaching staff at WWT are to stay on or if Godden will clear the decks and name his own list that he wants to coach at the club. With his injury problems I dont think he will be in a position to play next season, yet I do think he is a strong chance to coach either at WWT or South if there is an appropriate vacancy.

My mail is Torney is just a rumour at this stage.
And skipworth like most senior players isnt in love with ron .

[NO-MERCY]

I don't think all players are like you Mickyj when it comes to Ron.

[wycbloods]

No certainty I understand. Chasing the biggest $$$$$$ I believe and the eagles won't be throwing all their eggs in skipworths basket.

I have heard that due to a mistake in the wording of the penalty by the SANFL Investigating Officer there is a gap between the date that ends their suspension from recruiting outside of thier zone and the closure date for clearances for this season hence they still can recruit this year - all be it with a late start - Please any Norwood supporter correct me.

I think that's right mate, but I also think you'll find (whether intentionally or otherwise) Norwood will adhere to the spirit of that ban ... Things could change I guess, but word out of the club is that in-house development as opposed to recruiting is the go for next season.
