There is another player who I consider in their best 22 who won't be there but he was fringe this year that hasn't been announced.
Heard Oliver Shaw hasn't signed yet and not sure if staying?

Sounds like Grubb is off to North possibly.

3 for 1 deal. 2 brothers in 18s and 16s.
Cant see any of them being long term league players at North, Lachlan couldnt play league in a team that finished 2nd bottom

Surely Thomson cant play league in his condition. Reserves GF hes was destroyed

Then we need to recruit a genuine ruckman.

pretty good recruiting I would say (so far)
The AFL isn't the be all and end all you know,
didn't work for Norwood,
didn't work for South,

The recruits so far seem promising....for me Reeves, Beuchner and McCormack would be the ones that could potentially make an impact straight away. But that's probably only just negates the loss of Allir and Dew.

Hopefully we have a few more yet to come, we were starting from pretty far behind.

A bit harsh,definitely wasn't destroyed.
Buckets never looked in great shape and Redden for the Eagles does ok.

My comment re AFL players was a broad statement because we have picked up Aaron Nietschke so it applies to us as well, Happy with who we have got so far hopefully a bit more to come .

Phillips, McGuiness. Newton, Cachia, Batsanis etc might suggest otherwise. That said, I don't disagree with your point. A lot of fringe AFL players don't amount to much at State League level, and plenty of players from country leagues or other state leagues have and will succeed at SANFL level.

Like a good spray aswell under the right circumstances. To send the kid that headed to South a spite riddled message was highly unprofessional though imho.

As always it's a mixture of several components. Clubs like yours and mine in recent seasons have had to start all over again and the first step is building that foundation that can grow together, adding established talent that are the right fit along the way where possible.

Might have deserved it

Have Reeves & McCormack officially be named as ins .Nothing from the club as yet on them.

So far only official Nietschke,Kendall & Beuchner

I agree with this. Lots of factors impacting whether a delisted AFL player will be a strong SANFL contributor mainly concerning age and motivation. Are they playing for the money (less relevant in recent times) or enjoyment ? Are they young enough to still have ambitions to be redrafted or are they returning to their old club for a bit of fun?

At the Eagles I think of all the recruits who have come to our club in the last 20 years and it does feel like we have had the best return (senior games played across a long period) from those players who have come from State Leagues or direct from Vic U18s.

The full list of South Australian players who have nominated for the 2021 AFL Draft
Young guns, ex-AFL players, mature-age SANFL stars and even country footballers are among the 700+ nominees for the AFL draft. Here’s every footballer putting their name up.

More than 100 South Australian footballers have officially put their names in the running to be called out in this year’s AFL Draft.

With the first round of the 2021 draft just a week away, the list includes young guns, ex-AFL players looking for a second chance, mature-age SANFL stars and even country footballers who are hopeful of finding their way onto a list on November 24 and 25.

Delisted Port Adelaide trio Jarrod Lienert, Boyd Woodcock and Joel Garner are among those with prior experience at the elite level to have nominated.
Unsurprisingly, a host of SA’s top underage talent is listed such as potential No. 1 pick Jason Horne-Francis, Glenelg’s Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and South Adelaide midfielder Matthew Roberts.

Clayton Brandon Milera from South Augusta in the Spencer Gulf Football League and Saul Morelli from Hamley Bridge in the Adelaide Plains Football League have also formally nominated.

It's a bit hard to get ex AFL players to Central when We don't lose many to the AFL.

I think we will lose three this year: Leek, Isaiah and Luca; possibly Shay as well.

However, I am happy on paper with the recruits that we have gained (or are about to gain).
