Clayton de-listed, Gibson training with North

Submitted by NorthPort on
We have probably seen the last of Jeremy Clayton at the Borough after the news that Clayton was de-listed so that North could participate in the pre-season draft. The good news is that the club looks likely to select Josh Gibson's onto their rookie list after a strong year in defence. Also a reminder to Port supporters that the clubs AGM is on this Sunday at the club rooms on Sunday at 11am.

I really am still floored by this. I really rate Jez as a footballer and I think North might be over-estimating Picioane a bit. He's got decent ball winning ability and a footy brain, but he's not going to make a club progress drastically and has questionable pace. I'd love Box Hill to get in Jez Clayton's ear and try and bring him into the club. Consistent prolific ball winner? Yes please.

Quote:Meanwhile, Clayton, 23, was understandably downcast about being overlooked by other AFL clubs yesterday. But he said he was determined to make AFL ranks again. "I'll make a decision late this week or next week where I am playing," Clayton said. "I have no preference about where I am going but it will come down to South Australia or North Ballarat," he believes. The former Warracknabeal junior and onballer joined the North Ballarat Rebels as a 16-year-old, playing in the TAC Cup from 1997-2000.
