Very interested in his selection

Looks a talent, no doubt. Cleary an outside winger with a good step and nice foot skills.

But always a go home risk.

And we did leave quality on table to select him at 11

Local Sandy boys Josh Sinn and Campbell Chesser at 12 and 14

And midfielder Ben Hobbs at 13

Now it looks like he wants to go back to SA

Would you ask/do a direct swap for Josh Sinn?

I would

Yes hes clearly a talent but if he wants to go Sinn is an ideal trade for both clubs.

Source of that rumour other than this site?

Nobody, I mean nobody is reporting this.

[Viscount Jeremiah]

There is no credible substance to the rumor he wants to go home just people making assumptions. If he wasn't from SA no one would even care that he hasn't extended his contract yet.

Can we be a little smarter and just not? At least wait until there is something credible out there to back it up.

Unfortunately, there are many people in this world like yourself who base reality on this one criteria.

Let’s just work out whether he wants to stay before we go swapping him out. It’s natural for a young kid to miss home. I’d be surprised if he didn’t to some degree.

I know for a fact that he has stated he was homesick - it is however a HUGE jump to 'he wants to go home'. I would think that looking at Windhager/Owens/NWM that they will be our 'pact' group.

As an indigenous boy - I cannot imagine many better clubs to be at.

You partially quoted my response. Poor form!
I asked for the source of the rumour as nobody is reporting it.
I don't place any credence on random, anonymous posters on a fan forum that represents a miniscule sample size of the number of football followers.
There are so many articles this time of year that have all sorts of trade rumours. Not one of them has mentioned NWM.

[Devilhead]

He is contracted with us for another year and there nothing in the mainstream supposed ITK media mentioning him wanting to leave or being homesick

Apart from SD saying he knows he is homesick and some Facebook rumblings that's about it ..... and the fact that he hasn't extended

So it seems 1 + 1 + 1 = 497 in some posters heads

[Killa]

If BM says he has packed up all his belongings and returned to Adelaide on a permanent basis, then that is the fact.

BM also informs that he shared his removal truck with James Gallagher, who is also back in Adelaide on a permanent basis.

BM also informs that, as St Kilda does not have a credible AFL standard footballer on its List, the Club will fold next week.

The upshot of this is, now reliant on Jo's employment, Jo and Brett have their Croydon home on the market.

So there you go!

The purpose of this site existing is now non existent.

[B.M]

What the hell are you crapping on about?

Owens - signed
Windhager - signed

Wanganeen Milera - unsigned

Rumours of homesickness- did they come out of thin air?

I hope he re-signs

He’s clearly got talent

If he wants to go home, get fair Compo imo while he’s in contract

Unlike Jamie Cripps and Tom Lynch

Where we turned pick 24 into pick 43 and pick 12 into pick 37

[Banger9798]

How has Josh Son gone this year, I didn't watch Adelaide this year.
From memory he was a HBF, which we have plenty of.

If there is truth to the NWM go home factor, it confirms the concerns around inter state drafting.
You would think with all the indigenous program, the fact that his Dad played for us etc, he would feel at home, but if not, we may as well get an equivalent young talent in return.

Conor Rozee was a Saints supporter from memory

Conor Rozee was a Saints supporter from memory

Played 1 game early, 11 touches

I never got the hype personally

Was a big fan of Sonsie who many had going further down the list. Richmond picked him up and he debuted with 6 games to go and is averaging 17possessions a game

Rozee is certainly the tact I’d take

[Rubyjo]

He is another Jamie Cripps ...you can't blame him..probaly spewed up when we picked him . So young that he doesn't see the forest for the trees . He has talent and is getting better but will blossom in a home environment. It's how some people are ..me I wanted to leave home at 16.

[MC Gusto]

The only place ‘reporting’ nvm is home sick is saintsational and big footy

My god this is torturous

[B.M]

Sinn was injured for a lot of the season

[Viscount Jeremiah]

Rumours of homesickness- did they come out of thin air?

Basically yes.

They come from fellows like yourself speculating because he hasn't signed an extension. That's it. That's all there is too it

Rare would be the young player who moves interstate that is not somewhat homesick. Question always is, whether is enough to make them want to leave.

[sks023]

AFL players and the AFL in general are a soft joke
Look at international soccer and the way the players get shifted around .
Home sick after one season .....please

Whimps

In the UK it is usual for anyone with a reasonable academic record to go on to a university.
But not like in Australia, to a university in your home town capital, but to a university town living away from home in share houses.
Our 18 years olds are softer than butter that has been left out over night and copped the morning sunshine.

[repta]

surely when they interview a player ... any player ... they get an indication of where their head is at.
Interstate players should be assessed for how they will cope. What the club has to help them cope.

Cant let a first round player walk after 1 year.

A very very poor reflection of the club if that is the case.

FFS - the ONLY thing I have heard is that he was/is feeling home-sick - I did not mention it here because of the 'Sky is Falling' mentality - There has been NO talk (that I am aware of) of him wanting to go home

[B.M]

Unlike the other two boys

Why didn’t he extend??

I’m sure a contract would’ve been put in front of him…

I think he’s got ability, hope he stays, but won’t be surprised if he joins 4-5 other indigenous boys and walks…

You're funny - AFL is soft look at soccer ha ha ha ha F.ckme. Thanks for the laugh.
Maybe if a player earnt millions he would go anywhere that he could not get at home.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[desertsaint]

would spoil half the fun and learning of uni surely - going to one in your own home town?
