Got sent a link to some AFL rumour site.

Rowe to Doggies
McAsey to Carlton


Mixed feelings here, although unsure of the sites accuracy.

Rowe, fair enough. We have a glut of these kind of players.

McAsey, cut losses? We won't get much for him.



I can see both of these going well at these clubs though.

Surely there are other clubs out there wanting under sized half back flankers who come from a good family?

 

[dplggr47]

Rowe was probably one of our better players

Reeks of old school footballer. I'd have him over Mchenry or Murphy...

But did you see McHenry's fend off on the wing. Rowe could never do that. McHenry and Murphy are also much stronger tacklers. All three are average kicks on goal. Rowe's main strength is hitting targets inside 50.

McAdam would be the shortest tall in the AFL …. moreso than Newchurch being potentially the tallest small.

We need a small tall more than we need a tall small.

McHenry kicks inside 50 is better than Rowe and Murphy (who does fluke a lot of difficult assist and goals).

From a "reliable source" - the guy sitting behind me in the Members on the weekend.

Roo to stand down in the off-season to allow the heat to come off the club while also preventing the camp from becoming a talking point in the preseason.

 

[ABAB]

Looks like Port Power are going down their 7th "missing pieces" route after Dixon, Ryder, Motlop, Rockliff, Lycett and Fantasia with Dunkley wanting to join them according to the Port Power forum. Hinkley will leave their list in a worst state then when he arrived with all these "missing pieces", how ironic.

Seems dumb to wait. It becomes a talking point again in the preseason.

Pull off the bandaid now while people are still talking about it.

It’s about protecting Roos legacy, if he goes now blame can be aportioned to him.

During the off-season he could say he’s been on long enough, the rebuild is on track etc

Also whispers Port Power are looking at taking JHF as well......

 

[1970crow]

I'm reluctant to do that.

Bottom line is there is a footballer there. He's one of the few players we have who is creative with ball in hand. He can kick a goal.

The issue we have is not that we have Rowe in the team, it's that we have Rowe, Murphy and McHenry. You don't want all 3. 2 Maybe. I'd be more wanting a combination of McHenry (for the up ground pressure), Rowe (for the goal kicking and forward smarts) and then Newchurch (for the blistering pace). It's a better balance to me.

How does he get a game with Rachelle, Murphy, Ned and Rankine playing. Plus 3 talls and McAdam and we need a spot for a rotating mid plus Sloane. Might as well get something for him, his future at our club is SANFL.

no mention of that though so they can say they stole him from under our noses for less money but a better kulcha

 

[1970crow]

All the VFL fluff aside - it looks like there is a genuine mental health issue with JHF which has come about from moving away from SA and playing for the basket case that is North.

Has he ever had these issues before playing in the juniors and playing for South? Not that I have heard (happy to be told otherwise).

He's obviously not enjoying life or footy. There is a genuine reason that he should return to one of the SA sides.

then one of them is going to need to pony up.

 

[jimvic]

Normally happy to give KPF and KPD’s plenty of extra time to develop as history shows can be needed and nothing would hurt more than a Fog type coming back to torment you.
I just don’t get that feeling with Fisch , for the good of the kid and us we need to facilitate a trade, something is just not right. Unfortunately I am thinking steak knives at best and a recruiting bust we have to wear.

Hmmm - young player, interstate, home sick, not playing all the games he should in his first few years. have a heart and let him go home for a bag of chips...we are talking about Rankine right?

 

[1970crow]

I don't know when you guys are going to realise Murphy is rated by the coaching panel. He won't be the steak knives in that kind of deal.

murphy one of the very few senior players that our coaches have dropped over the last 2 years. Him, ROB and Mackay(?) are the only ones that I can think of.
