New faces in 2009

[b]VFL newcomers in 2009[/b] The AFL trade period might have been quiet, but the early trades have provided some new faces for the VFL next year. - Adam Thomson (Port Adelaide to Richmond) is sure to see some action with the Coburg Tigers. - Anthony Corrie (Brisbane Lions to Collingwood). AND Farran Ray (Western Bulldogs to St Kilda) will now be seen in Sandringham colours whenever he misses out at the Saints. NOW get ready for some major changes in VFL ranks as the AFL delistings grow substantially.

Wonder how much Robbie Warnock (Fremantle to Carlton) will be seen at the Northern Bullants. He looks like being a development player of sorts for the Blues. Will depend on what Carlton does with its Irish connections, which have been the subject of conjecture.

At least we won't see Rhyce Shaw the vegie at vfl ranks. He will be playing for the Swans reserves team in the sydney football afl league. Farren Ray will be playing more games for Sandy than St Kilda as he is not up to afl standard. Just a footballer. I wonder how many delisted players will be picked up by vfl clubs. I suspect there will be quite a few as well as the tac players that just miss out on being drafted. Some of these players that just miss out can turn into better players than the ones that actually do get drafted.

There will be about 12 new faces in both Scorpions and Zebras jumpers each week next season....

Handy acquistion, but also Davies is a Williamstown local and good to have someone with a passion for the club playing there.

Quote:FORMER North Melbourne player Peter German has emerged as a contender to coach Casey Scorpions. The VFL club entered the market for a new coach after Greg Hutchison confirmed last Wednesday that he would remain with St Kilda, the Pakenham-Cardinia Leader reports.

And German was short listed to Coach North Adelaide but he didnt get the job.

I agree, but Williamstown have to be careful they dont stockpile all these guys and not give them a game!!! Werribee are making plenty of noise and promoting themselves as a club who will give guys opportunities. It'll be interesting to see if they get a larger number of Western Jets this year compared to previous. My advice to any kid coming out of the Jets would be not to sign at Willy cos you've got next to no chance of getting a senior game. Obviously Williamstown will have some departures for next year but even so seeing 4-6 guys constantly in the reserves who would play senior footy at most other clubs is a bit disappointing.

This player is not a new face to Port Melbourne or the VFL but after 12 months overseas John Milhuisen was at our Best & Fairest on friday and talking to him he said he wants to play for the club next year. Go Borough! 2009.
