1991?

1995 gave us Darren Jarman, Kym Koster, Peter Caven and Troy Bond

 

[WAG]

wasn't it jenny61_99 that first mentioned on here something might be coming down the pipe re peatling?

Yep.

jenny61_99 - can you now tell us the secret spices that we had in our back pocket to secure his services?? Puleease....

 

[Mr_Moogle]

No need to screw them as suspect they will be reasonable.

I know they gave us Hately for free but I think they still owe us.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Can someone please repost his highlights package so I can convince my port-supporting mate he isn’t shit.

Is that meant to read “port supporting mate” or

“Alter-ego”?..

 

[Runnin Blue]

Cool. Now turn pick 4 into pick 12 and Clarry and we have a winner!









I’ll see myself out.

 

[Danger in Texas]

When did we get Lynch, JJ & Seedsman?

There was a trade period where we brought in a few players, but we had exits too.

Been a long time!

Lynch and JJ (and Lewis Johnston) in 2011, Seed (and Menzel/Gore/Hampton) in 2015

As Scorpus said, 2002 we landed Carey/Burns/Torney, but also lost Sugar

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Surely we can stop all this negativity now .....this has been the best off-season coup in our history

This despite Nicks having spoken to all the Draftee's B4 coming ......Mmmm

6 Clubs chasing Peatling .....he chooses us

This is peat Bigfooty!!

CromPeatling With The Best!

 

[Pugsley]

We have what Murphy will never be.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

And that Clown Rowe ....showing how much of a buffoon he is ....I apologise for the block of wood reference, it was unfair to all wood blocks

If you're going to have a radio show, at least try and put some effort in

Peatling ....no elite speed .....not a goal kicker .....just an average footballer with no elite traits

 

[Amacca 23]

Know where the goals are thats a good start

[FR0GGY]

Good question. I reckon perhaps 600-700k. Your thoughts? We should still have a MASSIVE war chest even with these ins with years of (1) front loading longer contracts (Soli, Dawson, Rachele), and (2) still likely at the minimum in recent years so banking $

I reckon we would still have at least one, if not two big ins over coming years. BIG as in bigger than any of these 3 this yr

No idea when it comes to contracts, obviously have to pay overs to get someone out and move to another state.
Sensational get imo.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

He is now a dud on Port board. I'm shook.

Compeatling for a flag in 25!

Maybe we beat the Pear as October recruiting champions!

Now Nicks will have no excuse…….nor you even when Nicks goes rogue bonkers.

By the way, you never did answer my questions even when I replied to yours.

These additions make Nicks getting Smith to his trigger and then dropping him even more bonkers doesn’t it?

 

[Betts are off]

A goal kicking midfielder with pace. I love it!

 

[119others]

So, some expansion to our coaching staff and 3 incoming trade/FA's. As long as we hold onto pick 4 (ok, no reason we trade this out, but typically Adelaide being aggressive is quickly followed by Adelaide doing something stupid) this is looking like a pretty solid off-season.

solid? SOLID? Man, fire up! I can’t remember the last time, if ever, we have brought in 3 starting players in one swoop.

We needed to but we’ve done it (subject to trades obviously) and all are exciting prospects that could be top 10, if not top 7, in the B&F. Much needed B grade (as a minimum) players incoming across all lines,

Forward line (replacing Murph), mid and half back line (Bye Smithers and possibly even Laird to bench, good flexibility now with Hinge and hopefully Jones and Milera next year whilst we await Ryan ascension)

This could be the first time EVER we have done this IMO, inc a non SA boy which is an important signal for future years prospects.

 

[tinman]

I've seen less of him than Cumming. What's he like?

He’s not a strong build for a mid, but is hard at it and can lay a tackle and slot a goal. Most importantly for us, he is different from all of our current mids and he has pace! Will slot in nicely.
