2021 Player movements

[MJP1993]

Eagles have signed Stephen Mills ex Gold Coast and three years South Fremantle 197 cm defender

Surprised Dallas Hill is having a crack at SANFL level again.

His form up here in the North Eastern League with North Clare was only average with a few moments of brilliance. His work effort and attitude seemed to have questions marks over it like it did during his days at Centrals.

Would love to see him be a success but it is going to require significant change.

Dallas Hill is an extremely talented, agile big man...

He had a pretty good start to the year with the Dogs at FF back in 2016, finishing with 18 goals from about 8-10 games...

Then he had some personal issues to deal with, went away and played some local country footy with mates...

Now joined the police force and is in a good physical shape and mentally ready to have another serious crack at SANFL after a brief stint as a Maggies top up player the year before last, as well and previously a junior Eagles player...

I wouldn't be surprised if he turns a few heads and goes okay...

That's brilliant to hear. I think the part that has frustrated everyone is that we can all see the talent he poses and would kill to be half as talented as him.

Definitely going to be exciting to see what he brings to the table.

Eagles sign another player - Mitch Hardie, 24yrs old 185cm forward from the Canberra Demons. Two time NEAFL team of the year.

[Dutchy]

Gibbs to return to familiar colours?

[DOC]

Very cryptic.

[Jim05]

Gibbs to return to familiar colours?

Navy blues?
Are you suggesting South

[Wedgie]

Crows reserves side would be the most familiar.

[DOC]

The old Captain spot like Callinan and Wright?

Another good player from the NEAFL

[Magellan]

North have just announced the signing of Aaron Young:

Aaron played 100 AFL games over his career with Port Adelaide and the Gold Coast Suns and previously played 14 games for North Adelaide in 2011-2012 when listed with the Power.

Aaron, 27 years old, is a 188cm inside mid/forward who has good speed, leadership and skill set. ‘Youngy’ will strengthen our flexibility through the midfield and also add a different option forward of the ball.

Senior Coach Jacob Surjan provided the following words on the return of Aaron to the Roosters;
“Amazing to have such a Quality person return to the footy club. Aaron will bring toughness, leadership, competitiveness and the ability to play multiple positions. He is a much love figure amongst the staff at North Adelaide. We welcome Youngy and partner Caitlin back to the Rooster family.”

We look forward to seeing Youngy back in the red and white and we welcome both Aaron and his partner Caitlin for season 2021.

Good signing by North.
I thought the days of 27 year olds coming back to the sanfl were gone.

Lachie Hosie, Toby Pink and Sam Durdin sign for Glenelg.

Bottom of the article advised Bryce Gibbs will NOT be at the Bays in 2021.

Interesting that Durdin chose to not return to his original club West Adelaide.

[Big Phil]

Maybe Gibbs might end up at The Bloods?

Kane Stevens is dating or possibly engaged to Gibbs' sister.

No disrespect to West but Gibbsy’s played in ordinary sides his whole career.
I think wherever he plays it’ll be chasing a premiership surely.
Either Ammo’s of GSFL.

Agreed, on all fronts, mate.

Just heard it from a couple of people now, pretty close the Bloods, so who knows?

[Pseudo]

Lachie Hosie, Toby Pink and Sam Durdin sign for Glenelg.

Hosie an especially good pick up, given that Josh Scott won't be returning next year. Will be interesting to see if either he or Toby Pink choose to get burnt by the AFL draft again.

Agree slightly alarming.

I was hoping to see some better creditenaled recruits that's for sure. Cant help but feel a few of these footballing resumes look very similar to many types we have had in recent years that have been caught between too good for reserves not quite up to league.

All good though, just got to put our support behind them and hopefully they turn out to be the next Hopwood, Scoullar, Cowans of the world.

UUUUU Dogs
