2007 Rumours - Who is going where?

[sturt1]

We're still the same club, we're just forced to have the PAMFC banner because there cannot be 2 PAFC's.

But to us Port supporters:

2 teams
1 club
1 history

1 club?

1.Port Adelaide Football Club inc. - 1 legal entity with an number of incorporation going back to 18 hundred and something. Changed it's name in November 1997 to Port Adelaide Magpies FC inc. with same number of incorporation (to allow the Power to call itself PAFC) so still same legal entity and the club with all the history.
2. Port Adelaide Football Club (AFL) Pty Ltd (with board split between PAFC inc and SANFL) created at ASIC on 29/03/97. Different legal entity. Changed it's name to Port Adelaide Football Club Pty Ltd in November 1997 to takeover the "good will" of the previous club. Still not the original club.


1 history?
The original club was sold down the river by people claiming to be Port Adelaide people to create a bastard child with the SANFL. To say "so and so" was a Port Adelaide FC Pty Ltd legend is like saying Doc Baldock is an AFL legend.
The original swampies got done like the Spartans at Thermopalae.

Numbers,dates,"entities" and so on dont mean farg all to the people that know and love Port Adelaide.Your statistical and legal crap has little or no influence on the passion Port fans feel.You show no ability to take feelings and heritage into account.

I for one have spent much time researching the above that you have mentioned and the statements I have made above reflect the thoughts and feelings I hold.

spoken like a true swampy -- not letting little things like facts spoil their opinions.

They both suck

[sturt1]

I heard a story over a cup of coffee yesterday that $trut has been offering mega-bucks to attract players for next season.

What's happened?

Has Guy Lloyd been resurrected?

I hope that they can put their wallet where there mouth has been*

Borat if Sturt do have money to buy players, sucked in to the clowns that keep going on about how we dont have any money. If not sucked in to me.

[Spiritof64]

good luck to sturt if they are out being proactive about recruits

When we got "proactive" it cost us $50K.

Clark Keating to the Magpies (AFL )

so thats one down that was on the list for north and sturt so i am led to believe

[GWW]

That wouldn't be official Jimmy because other clubs with picks before Collingwood in the November and pre season drafts could take Keating before the Woods. Plus, heaps of players have fitness tests at various clubs, theres no guarantee that they'll get picked up though.

Still does indicate though that Keating is a good chance to stay in the AFL system.

Your spot on in regards to your mail regarding a top 10 SANFL player to Sturt, my mail is the deal should be finalised next week and their are more quality players to follow

Syd

Dont tease us cause that would not be funny at all !!!

[GWW]

Yes Syd do tell, that way Port can make an offer for this player unless its a Magpies player, then that wouldn't be nice

On a serious note, you'd think it would be someone with a connection with McGowan, so presumably someone involved with Centrals, North or the Eagles.....

[sydney-dog]

My mail is Rick is not hiding the factthat he has target this top 10 player, my understanding is their are two or three players which Rick has been associated with at previous clubs who are keen to play for him at the Double Blues

i expect Sturt to be the big improvers next year

i only read it on here mate but im very interested in who it is and i also heard it may be a 'swap' kinda deal which sounds even more interesting....

when all is revealed it will certainly shake up this off season

[Dogwatcher]

Why are we not naming names???

[Dogwatcher]

Has Leigh Kruger left South Adelaide. He played some good footy in 2006.

Leigh Kruger won't be playing at South Adelaide next season, he'll be coaching at Loxton Primary School and teaching at Loxton Football Club (you know what I mean!)
Big appointment for the premiers!

[Jimmy]

Why are we not naming names???

I know...i would love to know some names.....

c'mon, who has the guts

[once_were_warriors]

A top ten SANFL player from the Eagles would be one of the following ; not saying that they are all in top ten but would all be considered as potential top ten depending your view point.

Cicca - not a chance
Inkster - quite possible , but has new contract
McKenzie - Not a chance and has new contract.
Passador - New marketing manager so unlikely
Lindsay - Hell would freeze over before that happened.


So the only one that i can see as posssible is Inkster , but he has just signed a new contract.

My tip is Borlase form the Legs

[Dogwatcher]

He's always a tip to leave Norwood.
Never does. Maybe he will this time.

[Jimmy]

are you guys talking about the possible move of a player to sturt??

if so, i didnt even consider those ones or even those clubs...i was thinking the dogs for some silly reason..

if not, play on

the possibilities are endless

[Dogwatcher]

Yeah - I was thinking it might be a Dog too. But.....who...there aren't too many 'high profile' Dogs any more. They're either retiring (McCabe, Cochrane), injury riddled (Steiney) or have only a couple of years left (Slade, Chris and James).

A Schell or a Cowans might be among names you could throw around, but I don't think so.

Adam Switala's good mates with Rick, but I don't think he'd leave, and he's not really high profile (in fact he's underrated).

So it does leave too many Dogs does it?

[once_were_warriors]

Buckets!!!! , Its all clear now

[dinglinga]

dogwatcher .....could it be quinton graham ....

was unhappy this year
