SA Footy

1 daniel healey. has brought a new breathe of fresh air round the club it seems, and is keen as mustard to show his worth.time will tell but seems to have a level head approach.

2 ben schwarze, if he can get his injuries and more importantly head right ,could be the recruit of the year with his fierce desire .

3 cain ackland ,could also be a real bonus recruit,being around the traps, never finding a real home so to speak,could feel its his last chance, and give his all. (allways felt he could be anything , but in the shadow of a better ruckman) .he will be relied on as first choice and hopefully revell in the role.could be hero or villan


4 damon white , well what a bonus he is. very flexable full forward probably turned into CHB this coming season. massive fella who could gel a backline , loved by the fellas and will demand a good forward by any team. (great to see him still in the sanfl). with mcintyre, sporn, schubert as the experience , could cause headaches for opp teams with a blend of enthused players like delvins , grose n the like could be the start of something very exciting for the fellas.


only janurary but something to be excited about .

not a member of the roost ???

So if we can't talk about our team's prospects on here as well, why have an SANFL forum?

sorry couldnt see any discussion on Norths "prospects" this season.

I do rate Cain Ackland as a ruckman & it wouldn't surprise me if he dominates the SANFL.
Maybe his reasons going to North Adelaide was they don't have a recognised ruckmen like Port do ( Mickheljon )
Cain seems to like the easy approach with no challenges ahead of him,

Im inclined to agree with you NM, I reckon a few ppl that have been ripping into Ackland could be unpleasantly surprised during the year.

He's a good mate of Damon White

I think that would have something to do with it, but i have heard Port offered him 50k and thought it was a done deal and then he signed with North for 60k.

not sure about the $$ but if he was offered slightly more than Port his decision was probably based on that, his friendship with Damon and his chance to be the lead ruckman at a club that will rely heavily on him to be a contender. I'm certainly happy to have Cain on board and hope he is 'able' to prove a few doubters wrong.

Personally I liked Goraw's post on the recruits via the roost better. I still think North will make atleast a couple more signings before the season begins.

In:
Nathan Brown (West Adelaide)
Luke McEntee (Returning from AFL- Hawthorn)
Djaran Whyman (North Melbourne)
Rory Sloane (Mini-draft via Adelaide)

what is your opinion on the other recruits ??
