FORMER Richmond midfielder Chris Hyde is the latest star recruit to join a resurgent Albury in the Ovens and Murray Football League next season.

Hyde, 26, will become the most credentialled player to join an O and M club for many seasons after playing 93 senior AFL games for Richmond.

The former Barooga player was drafted to the Tigers from the Murray Bushrangers and became a highly sought after player once he was delisted by Richmond at the end of this season.

Paul Spargo is returning to Tigerland as coach next season and spent two years as an assistant coach at Richmond when Hyde started his AFL career.

“He will be a fantastic addition to our side,” Spargo said last night.

“He is very good player and the young players we have at the club will learn so much from a player who has played at the level he has.”

Being an Albury boy myself I am wrapped with this news

Go Hydey

[WilliamPowell]

Ovens & Murray league is a good comp.

Albury's ground is one of the better ones IMHO, certainly alot better than the Lavington sports ground 

Have seen a couple of Albury games over the years, good luck to Hydey

[cub]

Not up to it Hydey, at least he was/is a goer 

[Smokey]

He will star at that level given his age, ability and experience.

All the best to Hydey. At only 26 he's still got plenty of footy at his peak in him. He'll kill them up there.

Tom Petroro from Strides Sports management was asked about Danny Meyer on SEN tonight and he said AFL clubs now have to pay players that are training with them so Meyer may be training by himself.

Not worth paying to train? Might not even get picked up.

Glenelg is where it's rumoured Danny will end up but there's no confirmation on the SANFL forum. Is he even truly over his hip problem to continue to play footy at any level?!

Don't know for sure, but given his late form at the end of this season I assumed he was.

Could be garbage but there's a rumour doing the rounds on the Hawk's BF board that Meyer may be training with them.

Wouldn't be surprised given past history, will be a cheap pick up for a former first rounder.

Yep. Better than trading a third round pick for a player that was going to be delisted anyway like we did  .

Confirmation that Meyer is training at Hawthorn
http://afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=70079
Meyer, 22 and the No. 12 pick of the 2004 NAB AFL Draft, has commenced training with Hawthorn after being let go by Richmond, while colourful ex-Demon Carroll has been enjoying a summer hit-out with St Kilda.

Drat I was hoping we would pick him up, hope he doesn't bite us on the bum.

[mightytiges]

Meyer could bite us a la Rodan-style if he is truly gets over his hip problem. After 4 years on our list Danny was always at risk of being delisted so I don't have a major problem with the decision to let him go. Sometimes tough decisions need to be made. It's just that one or two others IMO were more likely delisting candidates before him. Petts was probably one of them until he did his knee. Seems our finances are still having some say in our list decisions  .
