Channel 10 have stated that Port Melbourne's ADRIAN BONADDIO is training with us. His details from the pmfc website are:
Number 32
Born 25 May 1986
195cm 96kg
From De La Salle/ Oakleigh Chargers
You can find a pic of Adrian here. http://www.pmfc.com.au/players.html
Update - I have found some stats on the VFL site, it appears he is a forward. He played 16 games in the reserves for nearly 40 goals and 4 matches in the seniors.
Here is the link - I hope it works

Hmmm...nice height and size. Good age too.
If he's a tall forward I would definitely go for him. The fact that he's in our rookie camp suggests that he can play and that we think highly of him.:thumbsu:
There's only one thing that puts me off...he comes from the same place as Matthew Smith...

Ed Lower also invited.

Lets hope he isnt as soft, slow and useless as Smith was. I am very keen to see how he goes.
I saw Adrian on the TV and he is a big bloke. He really stood out, I was wondering who it was until they provided his name.
I have updated my Post and started a thread on the Regional Board for more info http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4275118#post4275118
Wasn't there someone on this site absolutley deadset adament that we would draft Scotty Lewis?

Lets face it - I have never seen a player with that hair style actually be able to play good footy.
It just doesn't happen;)

He could be auditioning for Mod Squad or Barge Arse or some porno flick:p
I must say I have to agree WW.:eek:

So far then:
Scott Lewis
Jace Bode
Luke McEntee
Sam Elliot
Tom Rischbeith
Adrian Bonaddio
Ed Lower
So how many spots on our list are left?
How many will we take in the PSD and how many in the Rookie draft.
Am I right in assuming one kid in the PSD then we will Rookie 3 players.
If so I would be happy with Bode in the PSD (straight to senior list, could play AFL in 06) and Rischbieth, Scott Lewis and Adrian Bonaddio (this kid so new to all of us but just looks like he has something special about him) in the rookie draft.

I believe we have one spot on the main list and all four rookie rookies spots are up for grabs.
Something else from the pmfc website about Adrian. From their 2006 Awards list
Reserves Coach's Award:
Adrian Bonaddio
Donated by Telstra Shop, Port Melbourne

Ed Lower
My mail is that he has been invited to and will be attending Ports PS training as part of an extended train with group of 6-8 players, similar to our camp I guess.
Of course that doesnt mean we cant take him anyway.

He's been invited to both.
I'm pretty certain he'll be attending ours first though.

Adrian Bonaddio

Club: Oakleigh Chargers/Port Melbourne VFL
DOB: 26 May 1986 Hgt: 195cm Wgt: 96kg
Position: Forward
Honours:
State Screening 2005

Former Oakleigh Chargers player (2003-2004) who missed being drafted last year. Joined Port Melbourne this year. Played in the VFLs North v South Under 23 match in May and kicked 5 goals. Won the Borough Reserves coaches award this year, but did make the odd appearance in their senior side.

Footy Draft verdict:
A rookie chance only.
So far then:
Scott Lewis
Jace Bode
Luke McEntee
Sam Elliot
Tom Rischbeith
Adrian Bonaddio
Ed Lower
Thanks for the info Dolemite
The full list was briefly shown on 10 news tonight (I would have thought it would be on afc.com). I didnt get to write down all of the names but add Sugars, Symonds and Todd Grima to the list.

Just highlighted some important info.
Really nice size for a tall forward - tall and well built for his age.
Strong mark - Great to hear - something we seriously need and losing Watts didn't help our case.
Slow - Hmmm...didn't stop Ryan Willits from being taken last year by Port. This attribute isn't as important for big guys.
Not agile - This worries me a little - being agile really helps if you're a big guy. I'm a big fan of Todd Grima due especially to his agility.
Bad endurance - With NC this shouldn't be an issue.
Kicking is inconsistent - Well, if it's inconsistent, then it must be good at times.;)
I say go for it if we really believe he's got the ability to progress to the next level. :) :thumbsu:
Otherwise I would rather Grima.

IMO the Crows will survey these rookies to indentify a KPP as the last main list candidate.
Possibilities: Grima:thumbsu:Luke McEntee,Adrian Bonaddio
Personally with no info at hand I lean towards Grima - Mcentee is preferred as a rookie, but he'll never get to us IMO
