Has battled with injury ever since returning from Hawthorn. Was absolutely in our plans for season 2021 but had his head turned. TBH I don't think his body allowed him to be considered reliable enough so I'm not too fussed (until he starts clunking against us).

So now we not only have an AFL team adding a player to their main list and acknowledging he will play SANFL only, we also have them able to poach a required player from an SANFL Club... it’s the gift that keeps giving isn’t it?

No gun held to his head.

Oh please, he's played 5,3 and 10 matches at league level in the last 3 years, shit or get off the pan.

I am reasonably okay with Luke signing with Port. The one I do object to is Tyson Goldsack though. The AFL draft is solely for drafting players to play in the AFL. No club should be allowed to use one of their draft picks to simply have them play in a lower level of competition. If you are going to allow this, then, in fairness, every traditional SANFL club MUST be allowed to take part in the AFL draft and select the same number of players from it that Port or Adelaide draft simply for their SANFL teams.
Cheers

There is 7 other genuine SANFL clubs he could go to. AFL reserve sides shouldn’t be taking listed players

You didn't play him, he looked for more opportunity, simple really.

He wasn't drafted to play SANFL primarily, he was drafted to work his salary as a development coach out of the reduced "soft cap" ( off field cap ) and into the main cap ( on field ), the fact he can play SANFL is a bonus. Good, hey?

Yep, done deal.
I doubt he plays a game for them and will just fill up their VFL side all year
