The Central District Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of key position player, Will Splann.

Will 19, is a 195cm versatile key position who can play forward or back, who spent the 2022 season playing for North Hobart in the Tasmania State League and Tasmania Devils in the NAB League. Across both competitions Will played 19 games kicking a total of 44 goals.

When playing forward, Splann is clever inside 50, can find space to lead into, and clunk marks with his clean hands and is a reliable set shot.

We are excited to watch Will continue to hone in on his craft and show supporters what he is capable of.

Splann is the one I’m backing in to have the biggest influence followed by Liddy.

Chisholm and Jezza for me...

Hope Pickering is not a jonno Marsh type recruit

[southernbulldog]

Hopefully most of them play league .No point recruiting fringe players we have to many of them now that arent good enough .

A great addition. Will has already been compared to Jack Riewoldt by no lesser a judge than Kevin Sheehan. Has alternated between defence and attack so could possibly be used as cover if we lose Rhett in the draft.

Surely he can’t be as bad as Marsh.

I think McCormack is a better ruckman than he is a forward tbh.

But with a few more options this year I’m sure Thommo can find the correct combo.

Billy was very good against most opposition rucks but was found out against the genuine big units. If Pickering can pitch hit in these games (North and south last season), then Billy will take care of the rest.

Yeh, jonno... sad but true. Such a great lad but....

I know we're talking to a big AFL player who was recently cut, we tried to secure him last season.

Hearing a couple more to come.
Not sure if this includes two who are subject to getting picked up in the draft, both interstate.

[gazzamagoo]

Pretty sure one of them won't be coming, several AFL clubs are after him.

I have doubts over both.
The second is more likely to end up in WA due to family ties.

Why don’t you name them? What’s with all the ridiculous secrecy?

The first one mentioned, who has fielded several enquiries from afl clubs ahead of the draft has centrals and glenelg as his back up options.
So.... do your own research, ask your own Club.
But you might find that your Club also would rather you not disclose names until deals are done....

What a crock of shit. This is an online football forum, we’re hardly jeopardising national security…

Given the "ins" we can assume they are not league standard.

Yet several AFL clubs want him.

As has been explained, he's waiting to see if an AFL club takes him, then if he doesn't go, we'll take him.
