A kid played last night in the internal, wore no. 31, not sure of his name but he was 6'7 easy and rucked and roved his own ball on several occasions, looks a good backup for Micklejohn

Might have been Matt Kerley who is 200cm, was recruited from Port Pirie, and also has played up in Darwin.

Played footy with all of these guys in rep footy and they should all make the grade. One has a slight drinking problem and commitment issues but if he can sort that out he is the one with the most potential of the group who could go all the way!


would be interesting to see who this player is leonidis. any clues??

i don't want to reveal his identity on a public forum as he is a bit of a closet drinker. PM me with your identity and i might give you a bit more info.

About the ruckman i reckon Charman from the Marble Range footy club on the EP has more potential and would be a adequate replacement for micklejohn! 8) He played several reserves games last year and deserves a crack at the bigtime to prove his quality! What ya rekon OC and WCP???? 8)

So why bring it up then . This kind of talk is completely unfair and casts doubt on others. I past this comment on a previous post about players drinking and didnt get backed up by the moderators of this site . This kind of stuff should be kept off , just like it does on other media forums , or name the players . Quite pathetic really .

Spot on Booney, watched them again last night, he looks the goods, Micklejohn appears to have done a knee as No Mercy stated earlier, rumours of Hargraves to Gepps X appear to be false as he played last night, also looked the goods.

Eich's will start in the 2's I would think.A big mental hurdle for him to get over,despite the countless physical one's he has endured recently.
