I have to agree with that.

Ive updated the list with the South Player.
In regard to Oakley he's a small full forward and not real suited to anywhere else on the park, great mark for his height.
Normally I could only see him playing reserves but there seems to be a shortage of class full forwards in the league at the moment so he might be able to hold a spot down.
I'm just glad North have got 2 classy full forwards!

Gee Wedgie no offence and you maybe correct, but dont you think you are giving the kid ammo to use against your team to give him an extra need to kick goals .Hang on no worries mate keep doing it if you could do it to a few more Eagle forwards it would be a great help.
ROTFLMAO

Dunno mate, I thought I was being quite complimentary of him, I hope he does well, its a pity he left when he did as he missed out on a ressies flag, here's a pic of him taking a mark last year, and over a high class full back in Ray Ebel:

Imo, he's a good player, unfortunately, he's been a victim of Noth's increased depth. Good luck to him at the Eagles, I think he'll have more opportunities there.

Is he playing for the Eagles though? He is not listed on the current players list on their website?

He's listed on http://www.safooty.net though, that's more important. :wink:

I agree! We need all the forwards we can get with every other forward over six foot (besides Passador) leaving.

Here's a link to his webpage on the official NAFC website from a couple of years ago when I ran it (its missing the left hand frame so may look a little weird but there's here's pic and his profile if you're interested - and don't try the links as they'll most probably be dead without the frames set up properly):

i think he travis will grow in stature quickly and one that shouldnt have got away from us,but good luck to him anyway. imo i think he is capable in the future of kicking a ton in 1 year

Again I have to disagree with you on this one Wedgie, you don't have have two full forwards you idiot, you have potentially five all capable of kicking a bag a goals Hargraves, Wheathley, Gill (prob more a CHF), Alleway (prob CHF), White (when not with the power), I can't see any reason why O'Harra couldn't sit in a pocket either. Nothing stopping that guy Cheethan getting a game either when he develops.

Not sure why I'm the idiot, my comment was about specialist full forwards, not forwards in general.
Play on...

Just pointing out the number of forwards you have, I suspect NOrth will kick 200 points or more a couple of times this year with that team.

You don't need to I'm well aware, just as I'm well aware we have two specialist full forwards.
Still trying to work out why I'm an idiot!
Its not ast though it was me that hacked footysa overnight!

Sorry, was saying as more of a joke, pointing out how many options you guys have. Should have used some emotions on the side. My mistake.

Don't know what happened overnight, Nai is the technical person. I see a few music websites got hit as well so we were not the only ones. Probably the only thing woldmother and footysa have in common. Hopefully that will be the last.

What are your thoughts on Cam Staples?

Ahh no worries ca, its so hard to work out what people mean on the old net at times especially when a :wink:

or a

isn't thrown in.
Cam Staples is a good solid reserves player who will pick up 20 odd touches, showed quite a bit of potential a couple of years back but never really went on with it.
Good solid lad who looked excellent in his first couple of years but injuries have held him back.
He's 22 but could be a good footy player if he's a late bloomer.

Here's a link to his old NAFC page from 2004:

Any news on these names from the Eagles homepage
BRENDAN BAILEY
CRAIG FITZGERALD
NICK SALTER
Sorry if they have been mentioned before I could have missed the post.

Thanks
Michael

Its good to see players giving it a go at other clubs rather than be lost in the SAAFL and Country system when they have something to offer. Depth has been a real problem for us over the last few years so this will help. I haven't heard much about Nathen Grocke except that he was out at training, hopefully he might add something as well.
