So you’re saying we’ll have a ruck that peaks right around the time we should start to be competitive again?

No.
By the time that happens majoirty of our players will be 26 or older with some close to retirement.
Getting some one like CDT only make sense if we have a team full of first year draftees where they all come through together at 25/26

I didn’t know you could recruit directly to your rehab list?
A huge breakout game from Sam Cumming in only his second senior SANFL appearance for North Adelaide. In a game in which his team struggled for long stretches Cumming seemed to represent their only hope of getting back into the contest. There’s very little that Cumming can’t do, he’s a fantastic athlete with a burst of speed and ability to leap for high marks, he can win the ball at stoppage, and he has a lovely long penetrating kick. There will be increasing talk of Cumming pushing well inside the top 10 on the back of this game, and its fully deserved.
Unfortunately the second half of this game represented a major set back in the on going battle between the SANFL camera operators and the zoom button. But as they say, it’s much better to lose a battle and win the war… and you may call me a dreamer, but I believe that one day the SANFL camera operators will find the zoom button.

I understand that people are thirsty for draft knowledge, but every draft pool is a puzzle and the pieces are half hidden… more than half at the start of the year. Requires patience.
One thing I’ll put on the radar is the potential to trade one of our top 10s to Adelaide who may be incredibly keen to select Sam Cumming. He’s just about everything that they need in a prospect and obviously local. Every chance that we could get ourselves a seriously good deal out of it.

Why wouldn’t we want Cumming ourselves?
Sounds like exactly the player we would want.

Because the Crows might want to make a lopsided deal to get access to him. Sure, we could draft him, but I think we should be open to making deals that are beneficial to us.

On one of those “academic” scholarship PAC hand out like candy
That’s our 2026 death ride sorted.
Our 2025 first for Crows 2025 & 2026 firsts… they’re flying, firsts should be late… until they get death rided into meritocracy in 2026.

Wentworth, NSW near Mildura? Not an Adelaide boy, I’m back in on him 
Broken Hill, Mildura and Wentworth seem to have more of a preference for Adelaide rather than Melbourne.
