It seems that a Port Adelaide player, Adam Thomson, who we were courting a couple of weeks ago, has been contacted by Essendon and wants to go there next season - a deal has been arranged in principle as they say.

Interesting. Would be good fit at Essendon; rated highly in SA, but wasn't given the opportunities.

    They can have him, we have enough of his type of players, we need pace through the midfield

    Is it just me, that every time I see a player linked to us, soon after he lists his preference as another club?

    so you're one of those flogs who automatically equates 'inside mid' and 'able to get his own ball' with slow?

    I think it has something to do with posters linking every single out-of-contract player in the AFL to our club... and they're all Ryan O'Keefe type players too would you believe :lol:

    I'm not at all fussed about these hits and misses. I'd rather use our picks to draft young players who grow and develop in our club and who WANT to be there. Two years ago nobody wanted to go to Carlton or Hawthorn either.

    no im not, but in previous threads about this guy he has been put down as having no pace but can get his own ball. We have enough of those types ans we need pace and skill now to compliment Mclean, jones, moloney ;)

    Well lets think. We came last, by a good measure, with no percevable upside, we have no home, no training base (despites months of talk), a bunch of novice, unproven coaches and not one champion/marquee player. Oh yes, and we're $zillions in debt.

    Can't think why they'd want to go anywhere else? ;)

    he has been described as a quick simon black.

    from the wisby report in the other 'adam thompson' thread:

    *STYLE LIKE: Fairly pacy version of Simon Black

    ...

    *ATHLETICISM:

    - Good pace,

    perhaps you didnt actually read the thread and simply saw that he was an inside midfielder and made your own conclusions.

    You're absolutely right. Good Post. I'd rather use our picks to draft young players at present rather than attract used players to the club with an expiry date. Once we put some "young quality" in, and start to develop then we will start looking more attractive to those on the "move".

    From today's Australian:

    "Port Adelaide's Adam Thomson, a first-round selection in the 2004 national draft, could be bound for Arden Street after meeting North Melbourne."

    LOL remember when Wiseby compared Billy Morrison and Josh Kennedy to Jonathan Brown.

    Off to the Tigers it would seem:

    RICHMOND is set to announce the first trade of trade week, sending its third-round draft pick to Port Adelaide in exchange for Adam Thomson.

    Richmond's general manager of football, Craig Cameron, said the deal was almost done, with pick 42 likely to be the price.

    Bailey must not rate him too high as it would have been easy for us to trump this offer with pick 35. maybe we're holding out for Prismall..?

    CAC recruits another player to his club that will never play in the firsts.

    Apparently a third round draft pick (Pick 42) for Adam Thompson from Port to Richmond. He was drafted by Port as a 1st round draft pick in the ND.

    So was John Meesen, so what's your point?

    :P Point is, it looks as though the 1st trade has been done in trade week- as reported on SEN. Other than that, there is no point apart from a bit of additional draft history for Thomson. & CAC. What's yours? :lol:

  • Quote

    Thomson was a promising junior - but thats about it.

    Port Fans lament the fact that he had a falling out with Choco but ...

    If you watch Sturt in the SANFL - the guy goes down to ground through minimal contact more than anyone in the history of the game.

    Kicking is ridicoulosly erratic, not too quick, ball magnet though (just like McGough).

    .... got a good handball on him though .. oh right .. and he has a football brain :lol:

    Should be a good fit at Richmond..

    My info is that Melbourne was interested in him when he was first drafted but it wasn't to be which means that CAC finally gets his man. Problem is that his disposal is shite and he would have fit well into the Melbourne team of the past four years. Hopefully, we now only take players who not only fulfil the usual requirements involving athleticism and a football brain but can also kick the bloody thing as well.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
