I reckon if he was 5cm taller he would have had a really good chance of getting drafted.
Agreed, I remember a game at Alberton a couple of seasons back when Tom Clurey was struggling to cope with Pods.
Sid was moved onto him and did a much better job, he was very good one on one, and could often out body players who were a fair bit taller.
He also closed down the glenelg bloke who had kicked 6 or 7 goals in the first half on Cluzza in that night game at the bay oval.
Still, going home to the farm is a much better option than transferring to another club like eg sturt, who could pay him 3 or 4 times more per game than we are allowed to.
Roger and Brett James ?Whatever happened to Will Northeast, is he any chance of getting a call up?
Interesting that we've signed Curtly Hampton's brother. IIRC he was considered a draft smokey last year. If he has a strong 2017 for the Magpies, maybe next year we get the first set of brothers on opposite sides of Port Road since the Bonds.

I'd say Davidson and Hawkins would sign just before the trial games leaving us with two spots, I'd like to see Northeast and Proude come up, I'd say Agius, Cooper and Hollingworth-Hughes are either demoted or gone.
Is Agius related to Ross?
Would be brilliant if he developed and ended up better than the Crows version and on the AFL list (has he even played a game for them)?I'm assuming he was promoted? He's listed as an Academy player on the clubs site.
Brother of former GWS/current crows player Curtly Hampton.

No he hasn't.Would be brilliant if he developed and ended up better than the Crows version and on the AFL list (has he even played a game for them)?
A bit of luck with AFL injuries and the Academy team will dominate.
The AFL players were required to be selected due to the SANFooL rules.Tbh how ever the league side play a lot better when we have a mix of AFL and SANFL players on the field, I'd say we at least play better with 6 to 8 SANFL players out there, the 2014 gf was a shamble the fact we played unfit AFL lads ahead of guys like Bruggermann, Beimans and Slatts was a joke and cost us that gf, particularly Bruggermann being dropped.

True, those clowns who run the SANFL namely the 8 SANFL feeder clubs can't make up their minds what they want from one year to another !The AFL players were required to be selected due to the SANFooL rules.

Edit: Saw Lienert and Jon Ross playing down back at family day, So I guess they could be options. + Doogie when he comes back.
2 Sturt friends of mine rate him. I called him a smokey back a month ago from his highlights vid.I thought lienert looked good too.
Footy gossip so make of it what you will. Luke disappointed to not be drafted/rookied. Told we want to see one more year from you.Luke Reynolds
Will be his 3rd season since returning from Carlton. Must be desperate to be redrafted to Port because he could be getting paid 3x plus anywhere else AND be a focal point in the forward line. Would walk into South's line up with Eddy gone.Footy gossip so make of it what you will. Luke disappointed to not be drafted/rookied. Told we want to see one more year from you.
Eyeballed him at Family day and surprised how tall he is. Got a left foot from heaven.
