No Deluca?
-
David Gourdis
Tristan Cartledge
Adrian Cockshell (Port)
Conor Meredith (Ireland)
Niall McKeever (Ireland)
OE is that complete or partial list, I just would have thought to See Fabian Deluca on there
-
Sorry everyone. SEN only read out those 5 names. The AFL site has the full list so I've edited the first post. Deluca and a number of Burgers are there too.
-
Sounds like we are going to put Gourdis on the rookie list. We normally rookie a Burger player each year too.
Cartledge is too old now to be a rookie so are we looking at using pick 74 on a recycled ruckman whether it's him or Deluca? :-\
I hope this time around we rookie some U18 kids who fall through the draft rather than just waste it on recycled types like we did this year. That's how you find a Foley, Thursty or Moore.

A story on Cockshell in today's Adelaide Advertiser
I'm a changed man, says Cockshell
ANDREW CAPEL | November 11, 2008
DUMPED Port Adelaide forward Adam Cockshell didn't need to be asked twice.
Within an hour of being told by his manager Adrian Battiston Richmond had invited him to pre-season training, Cockshell had organised a place to stay in Victoria and had booked his car in for service. Three days later he drove to Melbourne to start training at Punt Rd.
"I definitely believe I've got something to offer at AFL level so I vowed if I was to get a second chance I would jump at the opportunity and try to make the most of it," Cockshell said.
"So here I am (in Melbourne)."
Cockshell - cut by the Power last month - started training with the on-the-rise Tigers on Wednesday.
He has been joined at Tigerland by former Power team-mate, ruckman Fabian Deluca. Another delisted Port player, utility Greg Bentley, is training just kilometres away with Carlton. All three hope to impress enough to find their way back onto AFL lists via the national or pre-season drafts.
Powerfully built 198cm Cockshell says he is a reformed character after paying the price for some off-field indiscretions at Alberton which led to his delisting after just two games in two seasons following his recruitment from Norwood.
"I've definitely learned from my mistakes. I'm a changed man," the 22-year-old said. "I did a couple of things the club (Port) didn't want me doing and I know they weren't the right things. But you learn from your mistakes. If I get a second (AFL) opportunity then there will be no (off-field) issues."
Cockshell believes he has the tools to make it at AFL level, pointing out he has a big upside because he has only been playing football seriously for four years after passing up a promising tennis career.
"That's why I'm over here," he said from Melbourne. "I think I've got something to offer a club looking for a key forward. Because I've only been playing for four years I'm still learning to read the play and I need to brush up on my skills and goalkicking but I feel I'm improving all the time. I just need another chance to show it, so I'll train as hard as I can and see what happens.
"Hopefully Big Dels (Deluca), Bents (Bentley) and me are all given another chance."

Havent seen much of Cockshall at all
But Port do have a recent history of letting some pretty handy players go. Interesting to see how he goes and whether we pick him up.

Would be good to blunt the 'D-Rod' factor - have something to fire back with in a discussion with one of their feral supporters. :-[

You got that right Smokey, I am hoping Thompson will be the one

Well boys you have no one to blame but yourselves. Talking to Port Adelaide supporters, what a curious idea. I won't be trying that one in a hurry.

'peterbuch74' posted this on BF over the weekend:
Quick update... I've heard tonight that DeLuca and Cartledge have been told that they won't be required at training from Monday. Cockshell stays on and is a good chance of being drafted with pick 70.

If true then we'll be going to next season relying on Simmo, Gus and Patto to share the ruck load.

Please please please dont break down Simmo :pray

Paying due respect to the unknown source, as you say MT - 'if true' - maybe the club is confident (or knows) it will be getting a ruckman with pick #8?

Even if we do get a ruckman with pick 8 doubt they will be ready to shoulder the burden of first ruck even if they are or do become the better ruckman. It will still fall to Patto or Graham.

Yep even Kruezer with the wraps on him and the No1 draft tag isn't seen as ready to bear the ruck duties as the main ruck at Carlton. I think I read somewhere that Carlscum have told Warnock he will be their number 1 ruck and that Kruezer will be allowed to develop and mature.
If No 8 or 26 is a ruck then you wouldn't think they will be seen to 2010 at the earliest I suppose. It will be interesting to see how Putt comes along this year although it still may be too early to know about him.

Yes. I think I heard his season ended prematurally though a knee injury (or something like that - correct me if I'm wrong). So if this is the case we may not see him until at least 2010.

Well going by these stats I must be one fatty. I'm 178cm and 112 Kg. But I'm much much older than these lads so that's my excuse.

Putt didn't do an ACL though...he didn't have a full reco.

Here's some Port fans' opinions of Cockshell. They're not a fan of him and his kicking.

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes coming out of Port. But that would be right as you need grapes to make wine.
What a sour mob there seem to be but you would never want to bottle them. Like a good Port.
-

That's right Wildride - he suffered a medial strain playing for Coburg in the "bog" up at Ballarat. It was a 6-8 week injury when he did it.
-
Yep, he would have been fit for the grand final if we hadn't choked.
-
Putt will end up a tall forward/2nd ruck IMO. We really need Gus to get through the preseason unscathed and to stand up next year in the seniors. That would then take away some of the immediate worry about our ruck depth if Simmo copped an injury.

If Cockshell's kicking is as bad as some of those Port fans make out then it's kind of odd we're considering him after we got rid of Gourdis. Then again at 198cm we may be considering Cockshell as a second ruck option who can play also fill in as a KPP (a replacement for Polly) :-\.

Yep you would think the RFC has learnt from its recruiting of players with poor foot skills

Hmmm...Sibosado not training anywhere.
Hawks have a good selection to look at.
-
I see that one of my smokies in Kane Goodwin is training at Hawthorn. Its interesting coz Hawthorn have a policy of not picking up any kids who cant kick. Hawthorn are also looking at Charlie Sharples who could become a forward pocket type.
Can anyone tell us anything about Patrick Nicholls?
-
He plays tennis. :P ;)

Danny Meyer at Port :whistle :whistle

Matt Suckling
Inside Midfielder
DOB: 11th January 1989
Hgt: 183cm
Wgt: 84kg
Club(s): Sandringham Dragons/East Burwood
from BF
"ant555: He has had a pretty good year this year for Sandy as an overage player. Has come back well after missing a lot of footy last year and has been consistently in Sandringham’s best players. Strong bodied midfielder with reasonable pace. Reads the game well and his skills are generally pretty good. Generally finds a lot of the ball and uses it pretty well. I think there would be worse selections than this bloke for a rookie spot."
