More info on Nick Salter

Blair Hartley said: “We were very happy to get Nick. He’s a key position prospect. He can play at both ends. He’s played solid senior football for Woodville-West Torrens this year. He’s a strong contested mark and has a lot of improvement in him so we were happy to pick him up as our first (rookie) pick. Nick came out and trained with us recently, He was super-impressive on the track, he worked really hard and it’s a credit to him that he’s put in the hard yards this year to put himself in the position to get rookied and you really like to give those sort of guys an opportunity.”

I wonder if he'll overcome the double burden of playing for Woodville-West Torrens and looking like a Crows player?

Perhaps. Here is something +ve from Highlights of the PAFC AGM
'....Football Administration Manager David Hutton introduced the six new players to the club.......Mark Williams also said a few words about them.....He was strong in his praise for Nick Salter, mentioning he should have been a contender for us to select him on the senior list......'.

There's something about that picture that makes me want to give him the nickname 'Cletus' (as in Cletus the slack jawed yokel).

I've heard Nick has been training really well. Apparently taking it in his stride and is ridding himself of the 'lazy' tag. I think you have picked up another gem here. Really angry Crows didn't snatch him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he debuted this year.

Thats interesting KC, Salter may be the wildcard for a position on the main list whilst Wilson is injured, if he (Nick) impresses in the pre season.

I wouldn't worry too much though, Moss is obviously rated very highly by both clubs, he more than likely will turn out to be a good long term player for your footy club.

Think we need a more Portcentric photo of Nick (thanks again to Toots for his training pics)

Shorter than first expected
To short to Play KP at AFL level, May get away @ CHB
BEST HANDS AT PORT

Try CHF. Salter dominated on the weekend. You guys have picked a Gem here. Could be a replacement for Tredders I would think.

Can Kick and Can mark. Whether this would be the same in AFL conditions I am not sure, but in the SANFL he is going to carve up, could be a real contender for the KF medal this year.

I am on the Nick Salter bandwagon

Just been speaking to his aunty, aparently, Neil Craig was a prick in his interview, Nick walked into the room and frist thing, Craig asked him to take off his shirt, Craig said "Not as fat as I thought!" and the sat thim down and continued to be rude and arogant, and to finish the interview just made mention "Nothing good has ever come from Clare Valley!"

Choc was the compleete opposite, didn't want to know Nick, Just spoke to Nick's Father and Mother and asked Nick a few questions, but in all, it was more family orientaited.

Nick's aunty said they tought he was going to go to the Crows as the Port Interview was so informal, they (The Salters) thought Port were not interested and had made a curtisoy interview! But Nick is rapt with Port and is enjoying his new life as a professional footballer!

*For the reccord the Salter's are avid Crows supporters, so it is not like this is completly fabrication

To be fair to Craig coaches play all sorts of tricks to psychologically evaluate their candidates. I am sure there are many footballers that have been interviewed by mark who would say the same about him.

KingsCrow · 25 Jun 2008, 23:09

Heard a rumour Salter is seriously under consideration to get a game.

That would require him to be elevated though right?
