Another big unit,
196cms & 98 kgs,
we're finally getting some big blokes,
let's hope they can deliver the goods.

He struggled to make the Eagles Reserves team didn't he? I thought he looked ok watching a couple of Reserves games back in 2021 - but a big call to say he's developed in 12 months to go from not quite Reserves level to a starter in League.

Centrals reserves are going to be very strong with all the reserves players they are recruiting !

Was only playing at Port Districts with his mates because he couldn't make the Eagles reserves team. A nice long kick, quite accurate, a solid mark overhead but not very good at ground level. A good lad, hope he has success.

They'll need to put out 2 reserves teams at the current rate.

With Mark Ross's judgement, we are very confident that most of these recruits will play significant time in the One's. We have selected quality individuals, all with a huge upside to them. 90% of the recruits are aged 22 or under and most have played State junior football. They should set us in good stead for the next 5-10 years; not looking just at instant success, but building another dynasty like the 2000's.

Almost a team in itself if you look at the number of Central's recruits. Now that is a lot to integrate in the one season and obviously will mean a number of existing players will be out the door. That might not be a bad thing, if you look at Centrals over the past 5 years they probably need a shake up. Like any club a number of these recruits will not play league footy, they'll play reserves for a while and then drift off. But if they can find a few for the future then it could set them up for the long term.

Remember, just 2 years ago Harry Boyd was running around with Shepparton.

He ain't no Harry Boyd nor has the potential to be in that realm.

Sometimes you just have to be realistic and take off the rose coloured glasses. I like Dale, I've watched all his senior games but he is not a league level player.

Are you suggesting that we have solely recruited him as a depth player?

You have to take into account the fact he didn't like life at the Eagles. He showed a lot more form at Port Districts, where he rediscovered his love for the game; a much, much better player than when he left the Eagles.

Parto dispels all the rumours & re-signs at Brighton Rd.

What a load of bullshit, of course he might not have liked it at the Eagles when he was found to be not good enough, like any other player when they get dropped. The lower standard at Port Districts might have suited his standard better. It just pays to be realistic sometimes. It doesn't matter what you say "Bulldogproud" it will definitely not change my opinion.

How about his partner in crime in the middle? Secure at Brighton Rd?
