Dolphins getting some good signings

Submitted by footyman on
Have to say I'm impressed with how Frankston are going with the recruiting. We've already heard Chris Oliver and Ash Eames are going to Kars St, now Aaron Edwards from the West Coast Eagles and Gippsland Power forward Brett Dore. Considering Port went for the stand alone approach, I actually expected the Dolphins may struggle to get name signings. It appears they are on the right track down there. Good on em, the VFL needs to see stand alone clubs thrive.

Couldnt agree more! Lets hope the Dolphins show the way for some other clubs to have the guts to also go it alone.

It does mean that Frankston will have some big man power - something a stand alone club must have.

Chris Oliver is a great bloke and he gives his all, but dont be too excited, he underperformed for Sturt in his 2 years there. He was far too inconsistent. He needs to be left in the ruck for long spells, which he wasnt when he was here (he was behind feasty albeit) and when used up forward he was poor to ok and down back was just another big body, no real influence. If he can get in the ruck early and get some time there he will gain more confidence and hopefully be consistent for you guys. DOnt rely on him as a Key forward or even a resting tall in the FP. Very rarely did he have a standout game and take it by the horns. But he does give a 100% in effort and is a genuine footballer/bloke. All the best to him and thanks Chris. :D

Yeah Edwards Is a Seaford boy so not far from home Oliver comes out that way & Eames wanted to go to a stand alone club because he had something up his arse about St Kilda not picking him up,so that's why they have good signings!.

Dolphin, from this thread and others, it seems no-one else has any idea unless they agree with you. I think you need a good dose of perspective.

Certainly not the case. But if you want to support the nonsence Damo throws up, then thats OK.
