Knee injury closes Kingsley’s career

Knee injury closes Kingsley’s career

Carlton-Fitzroy player Adam Kingsley has announced his retirement after scans confirmed he would need a full knee reconstruction.

Kingsley tore the ACL in his left knee in the opening minutes of Carlton's final game of 2006.

The 31-year-old had been keen to play on in 2007 had he not been injured but said the decision was made easier by what he had achieved through his ten-year career.

“I wanted to tick a few more boxes off but it wasn’t to be,” Kingsley said. “It’s never an easy decision to retire but with the knee I know there is no point playing (on) so that’s the way it is. That’s footy.

“I’m proud of what I’ve done. I’ve made some wonderful friends and played ten years of AFL football when I was playing reserves football and dying for that chance to just play one game.”

Kingsley’s career finishes on 170 AFL games having been recruited by Mark Williams from the Essendon reserves for the Power’s inaugural AFL squad. He transferred to Carlton-Fitzroy before last season on a two year contract.

Kingsley will be farewelled by the club at its best-and-fairest on Friday night. All supporters will have the opportunity to say farewell to Kingsley at the Carlton-Fitzroy's first home game next year.

Kingsley is Carlton-Fitzroy's eighth retirement, joining fellow big men Justin Leppitsch, Saverio Rocca, John Barker, Greg Stafford, and Barnaby French,.
Midfielders Paul Williams and Brad Scott have also retired.

The latest retirement leaves the Carlton Lions side dangerously short of quality talls. The future of Carlton-Fitzroy's other stocks of talls including Luke Livingston, Ian Prendergast, Matthew Bishop, Alistair Nicholson remains clouded.

Lions once again announce tradeable players
6:55:51 AM Sat 14th october, 2006
Paul Gough
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

The Carlton Lions have announced their tradeables for the end of season trading period, with the club at least $1 million under the salary cap, with more players likely to be delisted. The futures of Mark McGough, Aaron Shattock, Tom Roach, Alistair Nicholson, Andrew Browne and Luke Livingston appear to be in some doubt. This could result in another $900,000 being freed up, putting the Carlton Lions in a strong position when player bidding opens later this month. Given that they are so far under the cap, the Lions are likely to sign several important players to long term contracts. Already forward Daniel Bradshaw has been offered a three year contract with further announcements expected to follow.

Carlton Lions Coach Mick Nunan and his match committee have stated in the past they consider the club to be in a rebuilding mode, but would consider talking with clubs with salary cap problems. He urged them to contact the Lions to discuss possible trades. Picks #69, #85 and #101 were available to clubs who want to replace older players with cheap draftees.

With the above in mind, the match committee has re-released the following list for the benefit of all other clubs, with new negotiated salaries.

Carlton clean-out?
6:55:51 AM Wed 18th October, 2006
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

The Carlton Lions, already decimated by eight retirements, looks set for further trimming, as the futures of several Lions players hangs in the balance in the coming weeks. Justin Davies, Andrew Browne, Luke Livingston, Aaron Shattock, Jason Saddington, Alistair Nicholson, Matthew Bishop, Mark McGough, Tom Roach, Ian Prendergast, and Joel Reynolds will be the subject of intense scrutiny when the Carlton Lions match committee meets to finalise the club's list in the coming weeks. If they are all delisted only 23 players will remain on Carlton's list, meaning that the club will have to find another 15 players to bring its' list up to the required minimum of 38. Balancing the ledger, the club will be $2.4 million under the salary cap and able to afford to some big name contracts, as well as signing required players to long term contracts. Coach Mick Nunan re-iterated the club was in a position to assist other clubs who had salary cap problems. but would consider talking with clubs with salary cap problems and urged them to contact the Lions to discuss possible trades. Picks #69, #85 and #101 were available to clubs who want to replace older players with cheap draftees. A number of other players were also available at the right price.

Carlton Lions welcome new players
9:15:35 PM Monday 23rd October, 2006
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

The Carlton Lions have had a reasonably busy trading period and have welcomed several new players to the Lion's den at Princes Park over the weekend.

In a press conference held this afternoon in front of the recently named Robert Walls Stand (formerly the Legends Stand), Carlton Lions president Dyson Hore-Lacy welcomed the five new players. Resplendent in their dark navy blue and maroon guernseys with the gold CFC logo proudly emblazoned across their chests the newest arrivals stepped out in front of a large media throng. Defenders Adam Selwood and Andrew Carrazzo, midfielder Josh Hunt and forwards Wayde Skipper and Andrew Lee were effusive in their praise for the club and hoped that they could be part of Carlton's resurgence in 2007 and beyond. Selwood and Hunt who have both signed three year deals with the club were hoping to take on leadership roles at the club in the coming season. The club was disappointed to see Andrew Raines leave the club for Geelong, but wished him the best at his new club.

It is expected in the coming days that Carlton will announce their delistings. At least eight players have already believed to have been told that their contracts will not be renewed, with question marks over another four at least. Despite the recent signings, Carlton's delistings are expected to have them close to $1.7 million under the cap, leaving them plenty of room to sign or trade for further players.

Coach Mick Nunan stated that it was unlikely that Carlton would trade their first four draft picks #3, #18, #20 and #31, but that later draft picks could still be used to help other clubs relieve their salary cap problems. "We're always ready to talk", he said. "Give us a call and who knows what might happen.After all paying $55k instead of $300k for a player might be a necessity.".
 
Alistair Nicholson retires

Alistair Nicholson Retires
8:55:38 PM Sat 28th October, 2006
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

Alistair Nicholson yesterday announced his retirement from the Carlton-Fitzroy Football Club after a ten year career.

Alistair played 90 senior games for Melbourne after being recruited from Claremont in 1996 and played another 20 games after transferring to the Carlton Lions at the end of the 2004 season.

General Manager of Football Matthew Rendell said "Alistair has been a great campaigner for our Club, he is unselfish, committed and dedicated to his work, he is a true team player. Alistair battled injury this year but retained a great spirit and made every effort to return to senior football while making regular appearances for our affiliate. Alistair was involved in player welfare, he joined the AFLPA Executive in 2004 and sits on their Education Working Party. We wish Alistair all the very best and congratulate him on his career"

Alistair said " Both mentally & physically I have given my all for both Carlton-Fitzroy Football Club and whilst still keen to contribute I have decided, after much deliberation, that my AFL playing career has come to an end. I wish my team mates every success for 2007 and thank them and the Club for the opportunity to share such valuable experiences over the past two years”.

Nicholson becomes the ninth Lions player to retire since June, joining Adam Kingsley Justin Leppitsch, Saverio Rocca, John Barker, Greg Stafford, Barnaby French, Paul Williams and Brad Scott.
 
Carlton Lions sign four
7:30:35 PM Sunday 26th November, 2006
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

The Carlton Lions continue their massive list restructuring with the announcement that midfielders Jess Sinclair and Michael Braun, as well as forward Anthony Rocca and ruckman Mark Seaby will all play with the club for at least the next two seasons.

This follows a massive cleanout by the Carlton Lions following their dismal 2006 season, where they finished second last. Not only were there nine retirements, but another nine players were delisted by the club.

The Lions will complete their 2007 list when they participate in next month's draft. With Picks 3, 18, 21 and 31, the Lions look well placed to pick up a swag of high quality youngsters to add to their youth brigade.

The new Lions

Michael Braun:
Played 25 games for the West Coast Eagles in 2006. Luck was not on his side when he injured his knee in the 2005 preliminary final and was forced to sit out the 2005 Grand Final. It was the first game he had missed since round six, 2003. The damaging wingman celebrated his 150th game in the 2005 season and now demands respect from opposition players and coaches alike. The first non-West Australian player to reach the 150-game mark and earn life membership with the club. Salary cap pressures at the Eagles meant that he was only offered a one year contract, which naturally given his fantastic service he was unhappy with. The Lions, seeking a replacement for Paul Williams, swooped offering Braun a three year contract, which should see him finish his career in navy blue, maroon and gold.

Jess Sinclair
After a slow start to Season 2006, the 27 year old Jess Sinclair made a startling improvement in defence, rebounding off the half back flank and dominating games at times. His 30+ possession games in Rounds 7, 15 and 22 caught the Lions recruiting team's eye and with a surprise one year contract offer from his former club had the Lions knocking at his door with a three year offer.

Anthony Rocca
The Lions had been looking for a replacement for retired forward Saverio Rocca and who better than his younger brother, formerly of the Brisbane Bears. The 29 year old Rocca kicked 55 goals in 2006 and the Lions will be happy if he can achieve a similar amount in 2007. A forward line consisting of Rocca, Bradshaw, Richardson and Quinten Lynch is likely to present a few headaches for opposition teams. Rocca is signed for the next two years.

Mark Seaby
Former West Coast 200 cm ruckman who looms as the Lions' first ruck in place of recently retired Lions' ruckmen Greg Stafford and Barnaby French. Played 19 games in 2006 and was ever-present from round 10. Impressed with his tap work and provides another tall option up forward, kicking 13 goals, if needed. Should only get better. The Lions have signed Seaby for the next three seasons.

Young ruckman Cameron Wight and midfielder Heath Neville were also promoted to the senior list.
 
Lachlan Hansen joins Lions
10:55:24 PM Tues 28 November, 2006
Paul Gough
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

The Carlton Lions have drafted at No. 3 one of the two standout key position players on offer in this year's draft - which is being compared to the 2001 "super draft" as the strongest in league history.

While Collingwood snapped up classy midfielder Bryce Gibbs with the first pick, and then Geelong selected Western Australian Gumbleton at pick two the Carlton Lions claimed Gippsland's Lachlan Hansen at pick three.

Both Gumbleton and Hansen are seen as future stars that can play at either end of the ground but while Gumbleton is more a natural centre-half-forward, Hansen is a natural centre-half-back.

Lions' coach Mick Nunan said "This could be the start of big things for both of them and we are really excited about Lachie."

Nunan said it was a measure of Hansen's potential that the 196cm, 18-year-old was selected at pick three considering the limitations in preparation that the boys from Gippsland endure.

"It's all up side as far as we are concerned with Lachie," he said.

"He is coming off training only one night a week, which is all they do at Gippsland because it's such a vast area so he has done a treat to play well as well as he has."

Nunan said he saw no limitations to Hansen's potential.

"He is a great size and a great athlete and he can play forward or back but he is more suited to playing back."

"And he has got the speed to maybe go with a (Nick) Riewoldt in the future."

"In the end, we thought long and hard about our first pick in the draft with Joel Selwood and Matthew Leuenberger the other very strong possibilities, but in the end we thought Lachlan was too good an opportunity to miss. We need to further shore up our height in defence, especially in the wake of the retirements of Justin Leppitsch and Adam Kingsley."

Nunan wouldn't be drawn on who the Lions would draft with their remaining picks at 18, 21 and 31.

"We have our eye on half a dozen or so players between 18-31, but naturally we're making some assumptions on who will be selected by the other clubs. We'll just have to wait and see."

Lachlan Hansen details

Gippsland Power, 17 August 1988, 196.7cm, 90.1kg

Highlights/achievements: Agile and powerful player who can play either end. Strong overhead and aggressive in the contest. At TAC Cup level this year averaged 19 possessions and nine marks in his 13 matches, also kicking 16 goals. All-Australian at U18 level this year. AIS/AFL Academy Graduate. 20m Sprint (3.03sec), beep test (14.3) and 10.43sec three-km were highlights of testing undertaken at the NAB AFL Draft Camp. From Nar Nar Goon F.C.
 
Proud part of the pride

Proud part of the pride

12:37:26 PM Wed 10 January, 2007
www.carltonfitzroylions.com.au

The Carlton Lions had no hesitation in selecting talented player Albert Proud when he was still available with their third pick (No.21 overall) in the 2006 National Draft.

Recruited from Mount Gravatt, Proud is best described as a goal-kicking midfielder with terrific pace, tackling ability and attack on the ball.

“My strengths are probably my speed and my aggression at the ball,” Proud said. “Because of my size (180cm), I can’t obviously get up as high as other players, so I play a more physical type of game. I generally dish the ball out to the running players.”

While he doesn’t model himself on a specific player, Proud has already started learning from some of the Lions senior players, in particular fellow recruit Michael Braun.

“I have really noticed how professional he is,” Proud said. “He does everything he can on the track to get the best out of himself. I’d love to become a similar type of player.”

Proud was one of a record 11 Queenslanders selected in November’s National Draft and is rapt to be at the Carlton Lions. “It's great to be at such a great club with heaps of tradition inherited from the old Carlton and Fitzroy clubs. Hopefully I can follow in the steps of some of the club's former stars such as Greg Williams, Garry Wilson and Haydn Bunton" Proud said.

Proud has been a standout junior player for the past two years and was considered one of the country’s hottest prospects before injuries interrupted much of his 2006 season.

“He would’ve been a top five pick (in 2005) and even (in 2006) except for a few injuries. He’s got the okay from our medical staff so we think he’s going to be an outstanding player,” said Lions coach Mick Nunan.

A stress fracture forced Proud to keep his foot in plaster for two months at the beginning of the 2006 AFLQ season. He overcame this minor setback in time for the National under 18 championships where he was selected as Queensland’s captain. A natural leader, Proud guided Queensland to its first Division Two title since 1999.

AFLQ Talent Manager Mark Browning was impressed with how Proud captained Queensland in the under 18 championships.

“Albert was sensational, on and off the field,” Browning said. “He is a big-game player and he is a competitive kid who doesn’t let things faze him. He also had a lot of respect within the group. If Albert spoke, everybody listened.”

However, on his return match for local club Mount Gravatt, Proud tore ligaments in his shoulder which sidelined him further.

He still managed to be selected to represent Australia in the under 18 International Series against Ireland and despite missing the first two matches through injury he was determined stay involved with the team.

“I’m pretty big on the team thing, so I thought that if I couldn’t play, I would do my best at whatever I could do,” Proud said.

Proud’s inherent leadership again shone through as he encouraged his team mates from the sidelines and even helped carry their water.

By the third and final match, Proud was passed fit to play and helped lead the team to a resounding victory which broke the deadlock and won Australia the series.

The left footer has settled well into the Lions pre-season training and believes the opportunities are available for him to have an immediate impact this season.

“I believe that I can play senior football next season,” Proud said. “We’re in a rebuilding stage at the moment and I am neither behind the eight ball nor in front of it. I am really hoping that I get the chance to have a crack at it this year.”

The Lions hope so too.
 
Jetta loaded and ready to fire

Jetta loaded and ready to fire
8:55:24 PM Sun 11th February, 2007

Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

After being touted as one of the best young talents in the country, the Carlton Lions couldn’t believe their luck when Leroy Jetta was still available at pick 18 in the 2006 National Draft.

Having pencilled him in as a player to go in the top ten, it was just a formality for the Lions to use their second pick overall for this Clontarf College graduate who has speed to burn, an uncanny goal sense and excellent evasive skills.

Despite the demanding rigours of AFL often being daunting for a young draftee, the transition to Melbourne has been a relatively smooth one for the 18-year-old.

"I’ve settled in fairly well. My whole family moved over which has been an added comfort for me and has made the whole move a lot easier", Jetta explained.

"The biggest change for me was probably moving away from my friends back home but the club has helped me to settle in well".

Looking up to the likes of Matthew Richardson and Jeff Farmer in his junior days, Jetta was quickly impressed by the training routines of other senior players since arriving at Princes Park.

"I was really surprised by Brauny (Michael Braun). Just seeing the way he trains on the track has amazed me and inspired me," Jetta revealed.

"He is meticulous in his preparation and does everything he can to play well at senior level.

"It has just made me realise the importance of doing the right stuff fitness-wise and the added benefits you can receive by controlling what you eat and ensuring you have a healthy diet."

Jetta is thrilled with the growing Aboriginal contingent at the Lions.

"It has definitely made fitting in a lot easier. I get along with all the guys and we share an understanding.

"I guess it is also a relief to know that I always have someone to go and talk to who will understand where I am at."

Jetta is looking forward to a productive season at the Lions.

"If I do get called up to play, I will make the most of the fantastic opportunity that probably doesn’t come around all too often.
 
Renouf's rave reviews

Renouf's rave reviews
8:55:24 PM Sun 11th February, 2007
Paul Gough
Sportal/exclusive to carltonfitzroyfc.com.au

He is just over 18, already stands over 200cm and can run three kilometres in just over 10 minutes.

And he already has a wealth of senior experience behind him.

So it's little wonder the Carlton Lions believe that young ruckman Brent Renouf could turn out to be one of the best selections in the 2006 National Draft, particularly as they were able to nab him with their third round selection - pick 31 overall.

Renouf was one of 11 players drafted from Queensland this year and the Hawks see him as a long-term replacement for the recently departed Greg Stafford.

"Obviously with Stafford going out of the club we needed to bring in taller types to support Mark Seaby and Cameron Wight." Lions coach Mick Nunan said in explaining the decision to recruit the big Queenslander.

The Lions believe Renouf, who also recorded the highest vertical leap (93cm) at this year's draft camp, is a player ideally suited to the modern, agile rucking role - so emphasised by the dominance of Dean Cox in the past two years.

But Renouf revealed on Wednesday his role model is aggressive big man Jamie Charman.

"The player I have modelled my game on is Jamie Charman, just with his sheer aggression at the ball and the player and he would be the player I would look up to," he said.

Renouf knows it takes time for ruckmen to break into AFL ranks but is hoping the fact he has plenty of senior experience already with QAFL power club Southport will enable him to make the transition into the big time a little quicker.

"I started in the seniors at Southport when I was 16 and I was fortunate enough to win two flags so it was a good start to my senior career," he said.

"It does take big guys a bit longer usually (to debut in the AFL) so I have just got to get into the gym and train hard and hopefully I get the reward."

Renouf said his agility for such a tall player was his best attribute.

"I have a lot of mobility for a tall player which helps me a bit just pushing forward and also getting down back to help out so that is a good advantage for me."

Renouf said he was honoured to be part of such a strong Queensland intake at this year's draft saying Australian Rules is getting stronger and stronger in the sunshine state. Fellow Queenslanfder Albert Proud was also drafted by the Lions.

"Things have changed, the game is moving forward and a lot of kids are choosing AFL over rugby for their school sport," he said.

Jess Sinclair retires

Carlton Lions defender Jess Sinclair has announced his retirement from AFL football after 11 years at the top level. Sinclair, who has played for the last three years with the Lions, announced his retirement to his teammates today before the first session of pre-season training at the Brunswick Street Oval.

Carlton Lions coach Mick Nunan said that Sinclair had made a great contribution during his career at Princes Park.

"Jess has been a good player for us over a long period of time, which is testament to his commitment and work ethic," Nunan said.

"He is renowned as one of the hardest trainers at the club. His professionalism set a great example to those around him, particularly the younger members of our list.

"Jess should be extremely proud of what he has achieved on and off the field. He has been a respected and popular teammate and a valued member of the Carlton-Fitzroy Lions Football Club. We will support him fully as he makes the transition to life after football."

Sinclair said that the club and its people meant a great deal to him.

"I would like to thank the Carlton Lions Football Club for the opportunities I have been given over the past three years. The club has been very supportive through my career, it has been like a second family," Sinclair said.

Sinclair will get married in January before planning the next stage in his career, but would like to stay involved in footy.

Sinclair had one year remaining on his contract, and in an agreement with the club, the AFLPA and the AFL will be paid 75% of that contract in 2009, even though he will not be on the Carlton Lions' list.

Doesn't it have to be 100%?

Those who are delisted by or pushed into retirement by their AFL clubs must be paid 100% of their contracted salary in the first year of a contract and 75% in subsequent years
