retirements and upcoming signings

[Big Phil]

Big blow for North Adelaide with Will Combe retiring from SANFL footy to to stay home in Crystal Brook...

https://nafc.com.au/newsitem/7140

Massive loss, most under rated player in the comp
He will get 60 disposals a game for Crystal Brook

And probably average 5 goals as game, as well.

"That's a bit rough on North if true, an exodus this close to the start of the season!"

Try losing your best two players, a Jack Oaty Medalist and a Magaray Medalist, in Jan 2022 !!

Happens to all teams, it happens year on year at West

Yep, we lost the leagues best mid fielder & defender in the mid year draft. Derailed the season.

Difference is our season is derailed before it happens

We’ve signed two more Ruckmen

Max Guehrer a former AIS Volleyballer who’s giving footy a crack, will be a work in progress

We’ve signed from Cairns via Darwin Brock Porter. Been playing with former Westies and Glenelg player Tommy Schott at PINTS.

Cole and McGree will be first choice but these two will add some Ruck depth.

Sandy welding his magic again

Ben Jarman back at North.
No biggy, he only was at Noarlunga where even I got a game.

Didn’t he play Southern Football League last season?

Brodie Newman a confirmed in, returning to Brighton Rd.
Excellent news.

Yeah, didn't I kind of imply that saying he was at Noarlunga (who are in the SFL)?

Doh, thought you meant South Adelaide’s Noarlunga Oval

[Wedgie]

Ahh, all good mate, I was confused!
Anyway the real Noarlunga Oval is at Old Noarlunga.
South play at Noarlunga Downs anyway, isn't it Hickenflinders Jimmy Danny Dean Fitzy Delrae University Oval these days anyway?

A couple of handy pick ups for North Adelaide.

Gibson Turner has AFL experience and joins his 3rd SANFL club.

While WAFL recruit Brodie Lake is no stranger to the SANFL having played underage and reserves footy at the Dogs.

https://sanfl.com.au/league/news/2023-h ... t-profile/

Lake has played senior WAFL footy and is a very talented player.

Hmmm…

I was going to say something but decided against it

Brodie is a good get.

Good kid. Will provide a good option as a third defender but at the same time provide a bit of run off half back.

After some very tough negotiations the Panthers get their man.

Mike Rann becomes the club patron.

"Go Panthers"

Will he start at CHF in the League side or need a run in the twos first?

I hear he is coming off the (back) bench but will be a key part of the PREMIERship
