Padraig gets a contract with Geelong.

Also, Waylen was touring Collingwood today.

 

[Smoooothy]

Wagner wins.

Goes to Port. Sun's and Giants were the others that bid for him.

 

[ruscy002]

Well, that pretty much confirms Port Adelaide as the biggest media whores in the AFL right now

Doesn't surprise me, should have been in the finale over Foster

That was a pretty farcical end to the show - only the 3 clubs showing any interest.

And those three clubs are the most desperate for exposure. I can understand GWS and Gold Coast, but why Port? Do they not realise that they're horrendously over exposed as it is? Do they really need to pick up a guy who is guaranteed to be dead last in the pecking order?

Bizarre.

Bizarre.

Port only went in because of the home town and boyhood dream factor. If Morelo or Brady had won they would not have lit their green light.

 

[Mego Red]

I think we should have put an offer in. What's the downside?

Niggling feeling that they did it for the likes. Mind you, it's a strategy that hasn't really hurt them so far, but there's only so long before everyone gets sick of them.

Bad PR for a reality tv contestant to pick the noisy neighbours over us. Oh, and none of them are any good.

Sounds like we couldn't because of Osborn, Campbell's Chunky?

But Port did, even with Daniel Flynn?

Don't believe the idiots.

Every club can have 3 Cat-B rookies. And if they want more, they take Cat-A rookie spots.

A loss of $45,000


He will never play an AFL game. NEVER.

And the story is Foxtel pays his first year.

Power finding loopholes to get players to the Magpies (from Centrals)

Do they pay the Geelong one as well? that Irish guy.

And gone.....

It is coming back over the summer to air next year. I think from listening to a the AFL "Road to the Draft" podcast ex hawks recruiter Gary Buckenara will be taking over. He stated he will be looking for a more diverse range of talent and greater openness with clubs. You can listen yourself from 47:22 into the podcast.

I wonder if he'll be a Bucken load of good at the job (sorry, couldn't resist the 12th Man reference)
