Jarrad Schofield’s son will join the Port Adelaide Academy when his father joins Port Adelaide as an assistant coach.

#SOAG Son of a gun is Tai Schofield

#PAFCNOTAFC Port Adelaide Football Club not Adelaide Football Club.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Carlton

Dude.

It's from another CFC board. The guy is an established and well regarded poster.

He's confirmed it's Wallis and a Port player who is a possible get.

 

[Curnivore]

We already have enough that can’t kick

On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Cripps Kennedy and SPP. Tough as nails at the coal face. Don't worry about the kicking, LOB, SPS and Dow will do that after they receive the handball

 

[Navara79]

Doubt that is even them. NR was in adelaide last night on the beers and BB would be in Melbourne with a game to come tonight. If it is them. Worst photo ever!

The caller on sen said it was Thursday morning.

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Close probably referring to the western suburbs of Melbourne, perhaps Footscray. Son of a gun? Libba, Wallis?

Who would we want from PAFC? A late charge for Polec? Boak?

Hartlett maybe?

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Hartlett maybe?

Hope not tbh

Hmm wondering if it is SPP

Wonder if port have ****ed their cap (again) with their free agent frenzy last year.

Plus heard earlier in the week, they are open to trading him

 

[passmark]

Three days ago I was very excited about the prospect of SPP (usual caveats apply) thinking his kicking wasn't great but tolerable.

Last night not only was his kicking terrible, his decisions were worse. He was just careless.

Still a beast in the contest but man, they would need to work day and night on the finer aspects of the sport.

This confirms the caller from yesterday on SEN wasnt making it up.

It has come from 'AFL Insider TRADE News' Flogbook page.

He wouldn't be on big coin yet. If they're juggling $ to keep Polec, Hartlett would be a candidate to be shopped around...again.

 

[Arr0w]

"Both close", could mean close to agreeing

Sonofagun - Ebert? 29 next year, maybe not

I read Port Adelaide not a F_____ Chance !

 

[Heres Waite]

Yeah I really believe he has grounds to have his contract terminated. I'm not a lawyer but being misled isn't grounds for terminating an agreement.

Don’t go into law!
I’m not a lawyer, but even I know that being mislead, and having proof and evidence of that misleading, which has lead to a contract being signed is grounds for a tribunal to assess whether that contract should be terminated.

 

[Arr0w]

Adds some toughness, like him as a kid, but surely past it now

Just on SPP, was nothing to do with money or contract

 

[Teagueeee15]

Good players tend to compliment each other.

Polec is more like Fish anyway.

I would not be complaining about getting more ball carrying, long kicking mid/wingers.

You can have more than one of that type of player. Don't think it would stunt lob at all...could argue he could learn from Polec and be better for it.

How does healthy competition stunt growth. It does the opposite.

My concern lies with how similar they play in style and Polec is obviously much better at it than LOB is. These two (and Tom Phillips from Collingwood) wouldn’t compliment each other in terms of style because they all get the ball on the outside in much the same way and there are only so many possessions in a game of footy that a team can win in this way. It’s like the Cleveland Caviliers and Kevin Love, good players on the same team doesn’t mean much if they all get the ball in a similar way. Polec and LOB wouldn’t be a good fit.

I see them as a bad fit together because of the below. I’ve watched the other two closely to try and assess LOB’s progress throughout the year and have noticed how they get their uncontested ball in the same way.

When the ball is ready to be dished to the outside from a stoppage, they all tend to position themselves on the same side of the contest to get it onto their left boot. Are both Polec and LOB going to be in this spot?

Likewise, they run the same angles to set up for the handball receive, to get onto their left side. Are both Polec and LOB going to be in this spot?

When the ball is in the back half, how often do we see LOB making space in the right back flank, taking a mark and then getting the ball on the 45 to bring it back into the corridor? Guess what? Polec does the same thing!

Why would having Polec be so good for Lochie?

Cos football.

 

[RoyalParade]

No way its SPP.

Hartlett or polec most likely.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Would love to win trade/draft period big time. Also stick one up north. Stealing Polec and Gaff from them would be the best thing ever

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Competition builds competitiveness and grows a high performance culture.

Look at GWS. Whitfield Kelly and Scully have all played outside. Can’t have enough runners and competition for spots.

Why not SPP?

2 rumours don't make a full house.

 

[Arr0w]

Sometimes Lobbe type deals, have future benefits

 

[Keyza]

If St Nick want to coach at Carlton he'll have to overcome is hatred of everything Navy.
Didn't he say he wasn't interested in a coaching position as recently as last week?

Same bloke who thinks Cripps shouldn't be AA because we are so bad that someone has to get the ball.

 

[Heres Waite]

Adelaide board reckon he is valued at 6 or 7

Lol!!
