good signing i have heard

We have also signed ex Port Adelaide midfielder Levi Proude and Ronald Fejo jr from the wanderers fc in the Ntfl. I’ve seen Levi play he has got good skills and is league standard and as for Ronald he is gonna excite members and supporters he is very quick and has tremendous ball skills and from what I’ve seen on nitv where he got best on ground in a game he has what it takes to play SANFL football and if not AFL. If anyone is unaware of comings and going’s for 2021 go onto the SANFL website they update it every week the ins and outs for 2021!!! Go u Bloods

That's 7 mids out of 11 recruits, with one ruckman and one tall. I guess that's a reflection of the way the game is played now but some height should be our next priority I reckon.

I agree we definitely need to add height to our list.

Players such Rana,McKenzie and Elliott will be given an opportunity which is great. They need to step up, let’s hope they can. All 3 show something.
I think Rana and McKenzie especially should be given a chance to play forward for a significant part of the season.

Other young Key Position Players such as Patterson and Rundle need to get fit and stay on the park, let’s hope our new High Performance Mgr can make this happen.

Sinderberry too is a young tall who is getting bigger each week

Just out of curiosity, i have not received this club message and normally do yet has anyone else not got it yet?

Look forward to when announced

I got it through email.

Thanks mate

I haven't got it oldfella but I know there's some endemic problem with me getting emails from the club.

Finally some optimism ahead of the season.
Gotch is a good appointment and recruiting is looking solid.
Like the sound of an ex AFL player coming- Lyndon Dunn perhaps?

Too old

Agree but heard some murmurs along those lines.
Quite a few decent Ex AFL players around still, hopefully a tall one!

Ex North Melbourne is the only clue I’m giving you we will all have to wait for the announcement!!! Go u Bloods !!!

If it is an ex North Melb player I doubt it would be a Key Position Player unless it’s Daw or Wood and I can’t see that happening.

I also haven't had an email about it?

just to assist me when i contact club tomorrow can somebody who has received email copy it into PM and message me please.

main thing i need is who or what part of club actually sent it information as possible they have used wrong message group hence missing members.

Thank you in anticipation.

I got the message sent to my email from the Clubs Twitter Account.

Here you go guys... a new recruit Tom Murphy from Nth Melbourne.

Good signing

Plenty of enthusiasm in that press release too

We certainly need somebody like Tom who can use the ball. He’s a good size and I think he could play in a variety of positions.

I wonder if the club has any room in their cap to sign an experienced Ruckman

Might be able to sign one as the marquee player?
