Adelaide are not fools when delisting players

In the words of Nathan Buckley, "Adelaide demand alot of their players."

    Who else is really available in the PSD?

    Right now he'd be our best bet.

    O'Keefe??

    Absolutely no chance. He has stated he wants a club with a premiership window. Plus we can't afford his salary if Dick Pratt United can't afford him. He is asking too much.

    Jericho Vs Random Late Round Smokey Kid. Winner, the Smokey draftee!

    There's no reason why we have to use the PSD.

    This is a rich draft for KP players, i'd much rather grab a promising 18 y.o. then an average undersized 24y.o. (He's 24 in a month). Instead of Jericho i'd much rather draft a Mitch Brown (possibly unavailable) Liam Jones, Casey Sibosado, Tom Lynch or several other KP forwards available in the draft.

    He is a good player and we need to start winning some games.

    Yeah, so good that Adelaide delisted him...

    He's not a good player. He's played 33 games in 5 years. He isn't up to AFL level. Drafting him isn't going to give us more wins next year.

    Don't need another medium sized forward. We need KP type players. While in the national draft we should pick the best kid available, in the PSD we should pick a type of player we need. Let's try and convince Lonergan to enter the PSD, if not we should look at Lee from Essendon.

    in that case, it's best we hold onto our money.

    Delisted, must be good.

    Can delisted players turning into possible PSD players please go into one single thread?

    I'd rather take a chance on Jericho or another young AFL experienced player than a kid who has slipped through the National Draft and the Rookie Draft.

    The PSD draft comes before the Rookie Draft. And by that logic, you'd prefer Jericho over a kid like Stefan Martin. I know which I'd prefer.

    I agree, Lee is a better bet than jericho to me essendon mates have said that he is a pretty good footballer but had too many injurys to get on the park.

    If lee is planed to be injury free by next year think we should take him.

  • Quote
    Having seen a bit of Lee, he's a freakshow athlete but is a bit in the Zomer mold in that he's an athlete over a footballer

    ... Trent Croad? did take about 8 years though

  • Quote

    There people go again saying he played 33 games in 5 years. He did his knee remember plus it was a bit hard with taht muppet ian perrie and brett burton firing when he started now he has tippet also to deal with.

    As i said a club that would play him would be the best for him as he is not that bad a player.

    Astounding ....

    People in another thread are lamenting the fact that someone has mentioned Ryan Houlihan is too sof a player to consider for the PSD .. and then in this thread are talking up a marshmellow like Jericho. :wacko:

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
