Jason Torney

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Just read that he has been delisted from Adelaide, despite playing all 23 games this year.

Any interest in him? I was just thinking would be useful as a third tall defender allowing Sam Fisher some more run?

Thoughts?

 

[mad-saint-guy]

We already have a ridiculous amount of defensive flankers, but if he has been delisted then Lyon will be all over him.

Old, medium size, defensive, delisted = Ross Lyon prototype superstar

 

[huggy_b]

Gees I hope not. Not needed - surely there would be better options around?

I actually think he is worth another year given some of the games he played for Adelaide this year.

Given that we appear to be "topping up" our list with experienced guys(King, Schneider etc) to replace the losses of Thompson, Gehrig, Clarke etc Torney might not be a bad option on a 1-2 year deal. His inclusion gives us another reliable defender to free up Gram to play as an attacking wingman. Whether he would make the best 22 is probably questionable but what he provides in list depth (for when we get fisted by injuries mid season... again) and a steady head down back he's probably worth a look.

Talked about Jason on the lions board

I am Jobsmacked that hes delisted - its been his best year to date

Crows fans arent happy over here - baying for blood

If i was going to select one out of....

Charlie Gardiner
or
Jason Torney

I would select Torney.

It will not happen, as we have already selected enough recycled players for one year.

 

[Squizz]

Torney is 30? Won't happen. Ask Tiger fans whether they would have him back!!!

You're kind of bitter aren't you?

Torney is 30. We haven't recruited any old, medium sized defensive players as far as I'm aware.

We've kept #9 in the upcoming draft and we'll either promote or retain the likes of Geary, Eddy and Van Rhennen

The only older player we picked up was King and he's a ruckman.

I don't think we'll look at adding Torney or any other mature age player in either of the upcoming drafts.

Just slightly.

I honestly thought the mass-recruitment of duds from opposition clubs was over. It seems to have only just begun.

Torney is 30. We haven't recruited any old, medium sized defensive players as far as I'm aware.

I would delist Dempster, Attard or Ferguson for Torney, certainly. But unless recruiting him means we chop a couple of other below-standard flankers then there is no point. Torney would add something to most sides, but with S.Fisher, Gram, Gilbert and Goddard cemented in the team we don't really need him. Is better backup than anything we've got at Casey, though. Might even get a game ahead of Leigh Fisher and Raph Clarke.

 

[Bourky23]

i rekon he is worth a punt

 

[St DAC]

Not at 30. We've plenty of defensive flankers.

 

[Persevering Saint]

He wouldn't be in our top 10 backline - would never play in our top 6!

Cemented in the team (assuming Goddard and Gilbert are played as utilities)

B: S.Fisher, Hudghton, ***
HB: Gram, Maguire, ***

Candidates for a game
L.Fisher
Dempster
R.Clarke
Gwilt
Ferguson

Torney would be ahead of all of those players. He would get a game in 2008, but wouldn't make much of a difference and isn't worth taking a spot on the list for just one or two years of service from another half back.

One of the spots depending on the oppositions should be for someone who can rotate through the middle

 

[ChrisL#12]

We won't use our PSD pick. We've already picked up too many players and seeing as we need to pick 3 players from the draft, we have some still to delist. It won't help us if we pick up someone in the PSD and then have to delist 4 players potentially.

 

[Squizz]

I'd have thought Goddard & Gilbert would play plenty of footy back, with Harvey, Hayes, Ball, Montagna, Dal, Fiora taking midfield spots (and possibly Armitage/Milne/Scneider).

No room for Torney. If we target anyone, it has to be a pacy midfielder.

Why torney is about 80 f****** years old... Gardiner might actually have a bit of future at the club

This might sound silly Squizzy i'd have him back he runs strait at the pill which we need at the moment.It might only be for 2 years but worth a crack with the last pick we have.

Torney could still play a couple of good years. Gardiner could play another 7 crap years.

Sorry, i did not realise Torney was 30. I was thinking he was around the 27/28mark. Still very unlucky to be delisted, which seems purley of his age. Played some alright football this year, and he did play all 23 games.
