And then it's another Houston, Evans.

Go recruiting team!

 

[all seeing eye]

Thats a big pickup, obviously looking at Evans as a precedent.

[Ford Fairlane]

Won the Fos Williams Medal in the 2024 state game v the VFL. 24 disposals and 8 marks.

Love this move, "Jez McLennan won the Fos Williams Medal after being judged best afield for the SANFL. He also won the medal in the win earlier this year against the VFL and he finished with 25 possessions and eight marks."
If he gets a debut AFL game I'll draft him in my fantasy league (he doesn't exist in the database anymore)
Was a Gold Coast 1st round pick in 2018

 

[Powerade 08]

Now we just need to draft some big bodied 18 year olds to get the ball for him.

 

[Rash]

Is it likely he joins our AFL list by pre-season?

 

[Brian McGee]

This is the sort of player we need to be recruiting for the Maggie’s. Well played.

 

[Lefti93]

I was a big fan of him in his draft year lol.

[Enviable Tradition]

Coming to the Magpies with hopes of playing AFL. These are the types we need. We should be pushing the Logan Evans story hard.

We are going to end up with a couple of players with a shot midyear.

If he turns out to be a gun, do we have first dibs like maybe mid season draft, or next year ?

If we are bottom of the ladder and have 1 player on the long term injury list come the mid-season draft then we would have first dibs.

No guarantees but we could ask him to back off a bit coming towards the mid-season draft if we decide to draft him then to put the opposition off. Not that we did that for Logan Evans of course.

Does a mid season retirement triggered by a LTI formally leave that player on the LTI list?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He played at Centrals in 2023 and 2024 and no one looked at him. It is unlikely we would be trampled in the rush to draft him.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

“Playing for Port Adelaide is something I've been thinking about for a little while, and I'm excited that it's now becoming a reality," McLennan said.

“I still believe I've got what it takes to be on an AFL list again, and being involved with an AFL club will give me the best possible opportunity to put my best foot forward.

“Port Adelaide is a very accomplished club that has so much history behind it in the SANFL, so I can't wait to get started and hopefully help move the group forward next year.”

I'd assume a retirement before the mid-season draft would open up a spot.
