Player Watch Jeremy Finlayson

[TeeKray]

The son of Finlay.

 

[Chrizzt]

Future 3rd rounder for a 25year old, 196cm forward, and someone who has actually played in a GF.....shut up and take my money!!

What game are GWS playing here

I get that he's no superstar, and he wanted out - but yeah it does seem strangely cheap. Wonder if we are paying unders here as part of a deal to take Coniglio with all his salary?

 

[Macca19]

Future third is peanuts. Good trade.

 

[shewho]

That was QUICK.

 

[PowerBaz]

That was QUICK.

Literally never heard of him so was looking, came back and saw your post....

Things move quick on my Imac....

 

[Hot Port]

Very happy! Welcome Jeremy!!

 

[Danny88]

All the best in regards to Finlayson... I really don't understand why you guys need him but im happy he gets where he wanted to go. Has a great leg on him. His field kicking is superb... just doesn't do much defensively which was always frustrating as a supporter.

Good luck to him

Lol, cya Lil Pisty.

Interesting to note in our press release that we've made mention that he has played 2nd ruck role before and his position is 'forward/ruck' - maybe we will stick with the 4 tall setup with Finlayson playing as 2nd ruck.

Clearly the best Jeremy to come out of the GWS.

Hayes must be wondering when he gets a game...

 

[PowerBaz]

Lol, cya Lil Pisty.

Wonder where he will end up.

Preseason, and the inevitable Lycett suspension

If Ladhams gets traded though, that gives Hayes a good mental boost that he knows he's next in line and being groomed as Lycett's successor - it's up to Hayes to make that transition occur quicker.

Creates good competitiveness in the squad, which you need.

 

[ibd77]

Interesting get, might not see much action unless he is good overhead in a pack to suit our bomb it inside 50 game plan.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

It's official now!

 

[wharfietilidie]

Not sure if Finlayson and Ladhams are the same quality or not (I have a feeling they are similar). If they are then swapping like for like and giving up a 3rd rounder and recieving a late 1st/early 2nd then it makes sense to me. We need a Finlayson/Ladhams type still because the moment dixon falls off a cliff your looking at Marshall/Georgiaties forward line. Marshall is not the body type to consistently bring the ball to ground is my only worry structure wise whereas Ladhams/Finlayson have a much better chance to do that kind of role.

Port Adelaide secures giant forward

Jeremy Finlayson arrives at Alberton on a three-year deal.

[Mr Experience]

Good piece of business, well done Port.

 

[David Puddy]

Bargain for that price - people have been crying out for a leading forward and that's exactly what he is. Good competition for Marshall and cover for Charlie who looks to be slowing down.

Ladhams looks all but gone which I'm fine with too - Lycett and Hayes to start R1 next season.

Just won the magpies B&F. Not much more he can do really

 

[ploppy]

he reminds me of peak Treadrea.

 

[philreich]

Happy with the pick up relative to the cost. He adds something we don't have, and if needed can play both ends of the field. Right age to, so a handy addition.

Did I read correctly that he's 25? If so, that gives us a 5-7 year player - not bad for a 3rd round pick.
