2014 Retirements & 2015 Player Movement Discussions

[CENTURION]

Jackson O'Brien has returned to Central after a couple of years playing with Angaston in the Barossa...

Was a midfielder recruited over from Tasmania who ended up having a few off-field issues but has got himself sorted out now, by the sounds of it...

I mentioned that one either on this thread, or another.
Was a little surprised by how little comment it generated.

I'm not sure I'm happy with this. He had his chances.

I'll drink to that!

The South Adelaide Football Club advises that the following players will not be continuing in 2015 –

Frazer Dale, recruited from Carlton, 20 games, 8 goals

Todd McKay, Port Noarlunga, 33 games, 8 goals

John McDonald, recruited from Sturt, 18 games, 7 goals (23 games previously with Sturt)

Cam De Visser, recruited from Sacred Heart OCFC, 9 games, 6 goals

South Adelaide General Manager – Football Neill Sharpe said it’s always disappointing when players decide to move on.

“SANFL football is a serious competition and requires a genuine commitment and a real passion to play at the level. We’re disappointed that Todd McKay and Frazer Dale have decided to move on as we think their best football is ahead of them. Unfortunately the demands of the competition aren’t for everyone.

“John McDonald and Cam De Visser have had some injury issues in recent seasons and are at stages in their working life where they feel they need to concentrate on their careers.

“We thank Frazer, Todd, John and Cam for their contribution to South Adelaide and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

From what I hear Brooksby will be next .port power(magpies) bound what I hear

Bwahahhahahahahahahhaha!

[Dogwatcher]

He'll be top of the pops at West then

[Big Phil]

And former Power listed big man Ryan Willits returns to Milner Road...

The Bloods have also welcomed back former Power bigman Ryan Willits, who last played for the club in the 2012 SANFL Grand Final.

The 27-year-old – who measures in at 198cm and 98kg – has spent the past two seasons playing for Montmorency in Victoria.
‘’He will play a very similar role to the one he played before he left,’’ Marks said of Willits.
‘’He adds depth to our talls in the ruck, up forward and down back.’’

[Brodlach]

Glad Ryan is back, great lad. Think he wishes he didnt go, spent so much time at the club over the past two seasons.

Will Rubbers play him up forward....

Good get for Westies, not sure about Porps though, he was useless last year and looked well past it, who knows maybe going back to West he might start enjoying it again and find some old form

[Jim05]

AFL website saying Jono Beech training with the Crows. He has real talent, hope he finds a spot at AFL level just not with the Crows

[Dogwatcher]

Good on him. Good kid and been on the radar for a while, just never been picked up. I think he went up to the Gold Coast a couple of years ago as they were really interested in him at the time (some BMFC posters might be able to tell me if I'm correct, or not).

Think you just made that bit up.

[Dogwatcher]

Maybe he was just on a holiday up there
I don't make things up and I did say "I think he went up" and "some BMFC posters might be able to tell if I'm correct, or not".
I thought I remembered seeing it somewhere, though. Happy to be told I was under a misapprehension, as the above suggests.
