It speaks to our recruiting teams incompetence.


Oh, f*** off. Everything on this board is slinging shit at people being incompetent.

For f***'s sake, we could barely get a straight answer on Ross Gibbs qualification more than 15 years ago. Clearly there ISN'T a definitive list of players that's been supplied by the AFL, as they changed their ruling once queries around Bryce Gibbs were raised.

If there was a draftable player with a link to an SANFL footballer and we never worked out that they could qualify - THAT'S incompetent. In this case, by the time Max started to show anything as a young kid he was recommended to us and we placed him in our program.
 
They announced that it was moving from 20->40 this year.

Have they announced that it's changing back next year, and I've missed it? Not sure what this "one year only" rule change talk is about.
That's what I thought, but people are talking like it's a 1-year thing like it had been made official.

If Peter Rhode didn't pick it up then what happens?

Isn't the point here we didn't work it out?
 
Anyone have access to the 'tisers article on Max Michalanney's eligibility?
Nothing new that hasn't been mentioned on here before.. Peter Rhode player manager Yada Yada yada

Please god let this kid solve our key forward woes in the future
He's a big boy for his age. Runs all day, good contested mark.
Sort out his kicking for goal.. and he could be a real top end talent.

Turns 16 in August. 17 in August 2023. Not sure what draft eligible that makes him, assuming 2024.

anyone know how Max went in his league debut?
Relatively quiet with only 4 touches but conditions weren't ideal for a skinny 3rd tall defender. Wasn't afraid to put his body on the line which was good to see. North don't run with a huge forward line so he spent a lot of time matched up on the smaller forwards from what I saw. Wouldn't mind seeing how he goes on a dryer deck against taller opponents but thought he was reasonable defensively.

Maybe a list of 15 other people?

It wasn't a secret who Max's dad was. It was the fact that Max hadn't had his growth spurt yet and hadn't shown any promise - once he did, he became a player of interest and was brought to our attention.

Are you seriously suggesting that if Max grew and became an underage all Australian, that the fact he had a footballing dad would just never come up? That the entirety of SA football would just forget?
 
We don't get him. How many other eligible players have we missed?
None.

Are there any champion SA players who have famous footballing dads from the 70s running around, and somehow that hasn't been brought up?

I'd expect us - more so than any outside punter - would know which players are eligible to us as Father sons.

Whether they're tall, short or otherwise.

Are we across our business? Max could have been in our training squad all along like the other prospects are.

I would hope they have a database of eligible SANFL players that the rule applies to. There's not that many that actually fall into that category given the 200 games needed.
From that list by age 13 a professional club would know whether they are FS. That's when these kids would start getting onto publicly listed team sheets, and when recruiters start paying attention to potential recruits 5 years out.

Heck, just on this board we have a list of eligible kids from Crows players that's updated when they are born
