The Advertriper is reporting Callinan has been upgraded to the senior list on a 1 year contract... . I'm guessing that means Mr Noble has a better idea of whats happening with us trade wise....
Hmmm, seems like one of our trades for players won't come off.

Maybe GHS a no go?

Or simply that the Tippett trade gonna end up as picks and not players.

Can't believe there is another fortnight of this to go!
 
I just offered as a suggestion on the sydney board

Sydney Tippett
GWS Mitchell 19 22
Adelaide 3, Giles
That's probably fairer to GWS than previous efforts though it doesn't give us much chance of getting GHS?

Have GWS got a pick in the 20s we could get in return for pick 19? It's not like they will be using their later picks surely (wouldn't it be nice to call a pick in the 20s one of your 'later' picks:rolleyes:)

and got threatened with cards and they genuinelly believe they are getting absolutley reamed...
One Nicky flog even said Tippett is barely worth 22. It baffles the mind the stupidity over there!
Why would we get Giles included? Last time I checked GWS wasn't a non-for-profit charity run only to benefit the crows.

Sydney give us Mitchell and 22 for Tippett.
We give Sydney Mitchell and 22 for 3. We then also give GWS pick 19 for Giles. I'd almost say thats over for Giles considering what they're paying him.
Please explain explain how thats non-for profit?

It's massive overs for Giles. Our 2nd round pick is probably fair pickings for Giles.
 
If we get Giles we as supporters will not be disappointed. He def worth a late 1st round pick. If Jacobs ever goes down, God forbid, then Giles will be the perfect backup.

Still do not understand why Port got rid of him. Was very short sighted.

Sometimes guys just need a fresh opportunity. Its not like Port are developing their players very well anyway.

I agree. But if we ended up with 3 and Giles I wouldn't care.

Its lucky we're not dealing with Sydneys BF posters. They honestly think Mitchell is worth more then Tippett by himself. A young mid, struck down early by injuries and who hasn't played a single AFL game yet.

I know what you're saying and Port supporters will say they had excess ruckmen but seriously the kid was a great tap ruckman for Centrals in the SANFL. It was clear once he put meat on he was going to be a very good ruckman. Hence why I mentioned it was very short sighted.

People on here that want Giles.

How do Giles Jenkins(or Smack or Johnston) Walker and Jacobs all fit into 1 team?
I can see Jenkins playing forward full time, in a race with Johnston for that position. Giles/Jacobs will be resting in a pocket. Three talls will stretch defences :thumbsup:

They don't. I only see Giles as a pure backup for Jacobs if he gets injured. Every club needs a ruckman like this on their list. At this stage Smack misses out too. Jenkins is well in front of him for a position in the 22.

Means just Jacobs, Walker, Jenkins make the team if everyone is fit and based on 2012 form. Of course the form factor can change. Henderson can act as a 3rd tall up forward as well.

Johnston I do not see as AFL level player. I know he did very well at the Roosters but every time I have seen him play at AFL he looks lost and noncompetitive.

Who says they all have to? As long as we have the strongest possible team, the rest of them can rot in the SANFL for all I care.

But in answer to your question.. Walker & Jacobs are best 22 players, no doubt about it. Giles & Jenkins could be playing for the same position.. maybe, depending upon team structure. Either way - may the best player win.
