Foley - please step forward. (Bumped)

[peejay]

I know money is tight but i think we should elevate this guy - Rodan has now been on the long term list for 6 weeks now.

I liked this kid when i saw him at coburg last year. needs to build up but great hands - as i have said here before the player i immediately thought of was Craig Lambert.

Re: Foley - please step forward.

Didnt Melbourne supporters pay for A Davey last season so he could play?

How much did it cost and is Foley that good that he would easily slot into our 22?

Re: Foley - please step forward.

Costs 15 grand i think. That's what it cost Melbourne at least. Foley wouldn't be close to our first 22 from what i've seen and all reports.

Thanks Go-Team,

then going by that it isnt worth doing. The Club cant go throwing money around willy nilly.

Let the boy mature as a player for a year.

Re: Foley - please step forward.

He was one of our best for Coburg on the weekend so I would suggest he is closer than you think. I would expect them to try some others first though that are on the senior list before they resort to promoting a rookie.

Re: Foley - please step forward.

I quite liked him when I saw him last year. He kicked goals in every game I saw him in and creates a bit of run. I thought he was the one to keep an eye on at Coburg.

wouldnt think it necessary...roach, gilmour, Meyer all should be on the cusp...with Hartigans injury only short term....no rush..let him develop in ressies unless he can string a bOG or two together

Re: Foley - please step forward.

he would have to stake a pretty big claim for promotion one would think, if he was to feature in the best players week in week out for half a dozen games or so you would think the club would be hard pressed to ignore him.

Re: Foley - please step forward.

Unless he's a chance to play for Richmond, there is no reason to promote him, so why pay the extra $'s?

Can you believe this was only 3 years ago.

More than anything else in this thread, this line stood out for me. It tells me that the financially successful clubs wouldn't even consider the money angle in an elevation of a rookie situation.

Name me a financially struggling club since North Melbourne 10 years ago that has won a premiership?


(Brisbane and Sydney dont count as they were subsidised by the AFL and had Salary Cap concessions)

it also show's the financial situation Terry had when he arrived.... people have very short memories. Off field we re going great guns.... and it's starting to filter onto the field.

The case for the defense rests...

What about last years premiers? Were they not on the bones of their backside until Frank Costa rescued them 10 years ago?
