Are you referring to this: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/swan-who-fell-to-earth/story-fn3o6wog-1226430109833

Interesting article.

Brilliant, thanks so much Pyro

It's a good read

 

[CROUCH #2]

Byron has some talent unlike his brother Tim who just got drafted and is a spud

 

[Shuffler]

Great link and article. Hope he does end up with us. Sounds like he's got his shit together and would give another shot everything. I remember seeing him play last season and thinking he had something.

Does he qualify for the rookie draft as a 17 year old? Pretty sure there was a rule that you have to be 18 to enter rookie draft!

We do have one spot on the rookie list which we will no doubt fill! Joyce will be picked up in the PSD.

As long as his 18th birthday is before the end of the year then he's eligible. Haven't checked his DOB, but he could be a December baby.

 

[Vader]

I thought you needed to be a previously registered player with Afl to be abke to nom for psd?

Either way he is gone

Any player overlooked in the ND is automatically nominated for the PSD.

Irra or Sumner.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Jack Frost is the KPD a few mentioned on this board heading into the draft.

At 20 he is kind of considered a mature player. He is a bit of a string bean.

 

[bjn1960]

Wont our penalties from the tiprat saga have a bearing on the type of rookies we go for?

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

Thought Jack Frost was taken in the draft?

His brother got promoted to the main list in the draft

Have heard we have shown interest in Nick Hayes from the eagles/Sacred Heart. Regarded by eagles talent manager as the best contested mark they've had at the club in past five years.

Looked to have good form with BSR Tigers in a's and also Eagles U/18 team.did he make the State team this year?

 

[cmndstab]

I don't know much about Sumner. Can someone fill me in please?

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

You'd definitely give Byron Sumner a go - I know people quite close to him, infact they are mentioned in that article and he's a good kid who just needs some guidance.

What did he say in the Sunday Mail to make people think we are picking him up? Cant find the article.

Timmy's time to shine at the Suns

Byron the eldest at 21 looks the most calm. He's been through this process having been drafted by Sydney in 2009.

He was delisted after two years but after a brilliant season for Woodville West Torrens in the SANFL is a chance of being picked up again, although probably not tonight.

"My manager has said that the rookie draft would be my best bet." Byron says. "He said maybe to the Crows."

I think its exactly what we need
Nobes on the news also seems to think we need more natural left sided players on our list

i dont think anyone outside adelaide or port will pick him due to homesickness.

In the article above Godden indicates only one club has been speaking to him about Summer, although that's from July.

I'm on board. Has all the tools and seems to have his head right. His u/18 footage shows him to be a ferocious tackler too!

i know we were seriously considering rooking him when sydney delisted him.
The fact that he said maybe adelaide will pick him up suggests they are the only club giving him serious consideration. It wouldnt surprise me if Port got him before our pick though now that Pearce is gone.

Fingers crossed.

Port will rookie Colquhoun with it's first selection

I thought they traded for the NT Thunder forward/midfielder Jake Nead last month to cover the loss of Pearce. If they are happy with Nead they might let Sumner fall through to us.

Nead surely isnt ready is he?
Looks like they will take the Ess boy in the PSD and as TSR said Colq with their first pick but who knows atm
