Former Crows star to join coaching ranks

Adelaide continues to acquire greater support for senior coach Matthew Nicks, and will soon add another-high profile assistant – who is also a former Crow – to its football department.

Forwards coach Ben Hart is returning to Melbourne due to family reasons, midfield boss Michael Godden has not been offered a new deal and defensive coach Brent Reilly has been told he will be moved into a new role.

Gee, Duursma has had a decent growth spurt over the last 12 months.

Keep an eye on serong. His ol man is a pretty big unit.

 

[Kangayroo]

To be honest any wankfest is nauseating.

I reckon Sutcliffe will get Cutcliffe.

I'm not bullshitting, but Dunkley certainly is with a whole heap of list spots to replace.

He probably would have gone around a similar spot to Comben and Perez last year and performed well in the VFL.

He had no VFL football this year and extenuating circumstances.

He's definitely a decent option to fill out the list spots at 20 years old with plenty of unrealised potential. He's certainly no standard 25 year old list clogger.

I reckon Sutcliffe will get Cutcliffe.

Snelling too. They dont rate him. Noble seems the best get so far.
Pickett will be delisted by the end of next year 100%

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Surely this is the first time siblings have been delisted from the same club at the same time?

In a competition 123 years old? Unlikely.

Hes not AFL standard. Once the cliff starts for Richmond he will be on the chopping block.

Wagners worth a look?

Ok. IMO he's exactly the sort of player we need. Is elite by foot and his vision and footy IQ is off the charts.

What a shock, Irish player bails out. I don't care if they're Cat B, the average ROI on Irish players is appalling.

I still reckon you'd have better odds of finding a 100 game player by cycling in an enthusiastic American 200cm+ hopeful every 2nd year.

This would be categorically true. I have no idea why the AFL sees so much in say China, or Gaelic footballers to import as players when both ventures are a total bust.

Americans however, love the sport and Ex-NFL or college NFL/Basketball players would be world class kickers and athletes.

The AFL and footy teams at large are sleeping on talent that wouldn't mind moving and staying, Irish boys love their homeland too much to stay, Australia and Ireland couldn't be any more different.

Off the top of my head, the 3 American players I've paid attention to are Eric Wallace, Shae McNamara and Mason Cox.

All 3 are all out positive and ambitious and did everything to try and make a go of it. There are so many athletic talents in their 200 odd million people and so many biases and obstructions in their pathways to their own elite sports.

There's a potential goldmine of at the least rucking talent if we can refine our search methods.

Most NFL players don’t touch a ball, and those that do are use to two dimension play. Basketballs on the other hand always touch the ball and have a better concept of 360 degree play.

Think I heard somewhere, I could be wrong, that Pendles has a basketball background.......Keep that to yourself though

I think the Richmond system suits him nicely as the 8th banana. Just my observation of him and following him this year.

Hes an exciting Liam Anthony. Will fill a need but when Cotchin, Houli, Riewoldt go I doubt hell have still make it.
