*LOOK*

Now that we have enough backmen and the like, the quota for all positions has been extended to 7.

The first preference quotas are currently at:

Foward Fifty - 5
Forward - 6
Centre - 5
Back - 5
Back Fifty - 5
Ruck - 5

If there are a lot more sign-ups after this post, then we will look into creating another team.

cant we just start yet? i doubt we're gonna get 10 more players tbh

No offence, but there shouldn't be too great a hurry if you're really interested. If you want to start playing tomorrow, chances are that the thing would be completely disorganised and a total mess.

Agreed, slow and steady wins the race

Port Adelaide player draft to take place
Wilson Caroline

Following the news of Port Adelaide's disbandment from the AFL in favour for the new multi-million dollar CW Land franchise, the AFL has taken steps to ensure that Port Adelaide's best 16 players are not lost to the competition. The move will see a draft held, where, the clubs (in the reverse order of the 2006 AFL ladder) will be required to select one Port Adelaide player of their choice, this player will be added to the club's list with a one year contract at no cost to the salary cap for the 2007 season. The player's contract however, will need to be re-negotiated for the 2008 season and beyond, with a view to fitting the player in the club's salary cap.

The draft order is as follows:

Carlton
Essendon
Kangaroos
Brisbane
Cricket Web
Hawthorn
Geelong
Richmond
Western Bulldogs
Melbourne
St Kilda
Collingwood
Sydney
Fremantle
Adelaide
West Coast

CW management in negotiation over training ground
Willy Mameth

Rumours are circulating tonight that key CW management figures are in serious talks with several highly-held Kangaroo Island council members, the talks are believed to be regarding CWs need for a training ground located within Australia. If the deal were to get accross the line, it would entail CW using the Kingscote Sports Reserve located just inland from Little Brownlow Beach and next to the Kingscote Racetrack, as their training ground and adminastrative headquarters. Kingscote is home to around 2,000 inhabitants and is easily accessible by ferry from Adelaide, making the side easily adoptable by the now ex-Port Adelaide supporters. CW is expected to play their home games at AAMI stadium until the expected new stadium is constructed.

Smith lost his virginity in Vivonne Bay, or so I'm told.

She had an excess of arm hair if my (hazy) memory serves me well.

The draft order is as follows:

Carlton
Essendon
Kangaroos
Brisbane
Cricket Web
Hawthorn
Geelong
Richmond
Western Bulldogs
Melbourne
St Kilda
Collingwood
Sydney
Fremantle
Adelaide
West Coast

#1: Brendan Lade - Carlton

The surprise number 1 pick taken by Carlton is the big ruckman Lade. With Cain Ackland not looking like ever setting the world on fire, and Cam Cloke being plain ****, Lade's excellent all round game will be vital for the Blues.

#2: Shaun Burgoyne - Essendon

The classy midfielder will be a valuable addition to a young Essendon midfield lacking a real star.

#3: Warren Tredrea - Kangaroos

Joins Nathan Thompson in what now looks like one of the most potent FF/CHF combos in the league.

#4: Chad Cornes - Brisbane

An easy choice for Brisbane who are having to rely on the young and erratic Jarrad Brennan at CHB. Adds star power to an emerging side.

#5: Kane Cornes - Cricketweb

Despite having a bevy of promising midfielders, CW takes the younger Cornes brother with their pick. Expected to get the important tagging job on the opposition's number one midfielder, Cornes will become very important to the CW unit.

#6: Troy Chaplin - Hawthorn

Hawthorn surprises everyone taking the promising, but unproven key backman with their pick. While looking good in every area of the ground, Danny Jacobs and Steve Gilham will appreciate another tall defender helping them out.

#7: Peter Burgoyne - Geelong

While not as quick as his younger brother, Peter Burgoyne is a super player and it was a surprise he was let slip by so many clubs. The Cats have a decent core group of midfielders built around Bartel and Gary Ablett Jr, but Burgoyne will add a bit of flair and experience.

#8: Danyle Pearce - Richmond

The exciting youngster won the 2006 Rising Star award and will add to a promising group of Tiger midfielders. He will also be expected to kick a couple of goals a game.

#9: Dean Brogan - Western Bulldogs

Peter Street may try hard, but he won't guide the Dogs to a premiership. So the Bulldogs were ecstatic when Port's youngish ruckman was still available at pick 9. His good skills and aggression are just what the Dogs need.

#10: Steven Salopek - Melbourne

The highly skilled midfielder goes to a Melbourne side that has talent in that area, but lacks depth. Should be a into a 200 game player.

#11: Michael Pettigrew - St Kilda

Able to play back or forward, Pettigrew will be expected to take the 2nd or 3rd best tall in the opposition's forward line each week.

#12: Damon White - Collingwood

Big, strong lad who the Pies will expect to play a big role up forward beside Anthony Rocca. Can take a key forward if needed.

#13: Brett Ebert - Sydney

With Michael O'Loughlin winding down and Ryan O'Keefe playing further and further up the ground, Ebert should have plenty of influence for the Swans. With great hands and quick off the mark, his only problem being his lack of height.

#14: Daniel Motlop - Fremantle

With Pavlich and Tarrant taking the two best defenders, Motlop could finally be able to show his potential at Fremantle. If he gets his fitness levels right, could also play a part in the middle.

#15: Josh Mahoney - Adelaide

Not an exciting or eye catching player, but he plays his role to perfection and often gets under the guard of the opposition.

#16: Alipate Carlile - West Coast

The Eagles go with promise taking the strong bodied Fijian with their pick. While by no means a sure thing to make it, he will be given a chance in a championship side, and could be anything.
