Announcement Number One:


Date:  3/10/12


In a turn of events, the Elephants have made their first trade of the history of the Elephants. In order to increase draft picks into the top 10, we were forced to trade out picks 17 and 33 in the National Draft, which allowed us to receive picks 6 in National Draft and Pick 23 in the Rookie Draft. This trade was very fair and gave both coaches what they wanted. Both whatlez and Holz were very happy with this trade, because we both firmly believe pick 6 of the National Draft will recruit us a fantasy and AFL Superstar that comes from the dubbed "super draft".

So the trade was;

National Picks 17 + 33

For

National Pick 6 + Rookie Pick 23


More to come from the Elephants camp.

Announcement Number Two:


Date: 7/10/12


Today is the official accouncement of the leadership group at the Elephants. With the Elephants very unlikely to be trading any of there good players out, we will get in nice and early in naming our leadership group and more important our inaugurial captain. So after a few couple of week of discussing who we should lead Elephants to success in the up coming seasons, we made the decision that our number one pick of the Draft Jack Redden as our Captain:



We see Jack as a long term player at the club and hopes and most likely will be a one club player in the Asian Competition. He knows that living in Laos isn't that ideal, but Jack is has given me his word that any other club negotiation will never happen and will remain at the Elephants for the next 10 years or so. He our top midfielder and top point scorer, so getting his signature is important and a little bonus has just been to sent to Jack's house.

When hearing the news Jack was very happen, he stated 'I am honoured to be the captain of the greatest club in the Asian Competition. Obviously premierships are on the horizon so once we get a good pre-season together, expect great success', he goes on to add, 'I hope I can us to a premiership next year and will help push the rest of the squad to the their pinnacle.

We are also here to annoucement the rest of the leadership group and the mentors of the club.
Vice Captain: Michael Barlow
Unber 20's Captain: Dylan Shiel
Most Valuable player: Todd Goldstein
The Mullett: Taylor Walker

Also the mentors of the club in each of the positions are:

Backline Mentor:            Alex Rance
Midfield Mentor:            Travis Boak
Ruck Mentor:                Todd Goldstein
Forwards Mentor:          Taylor Walker

So that is our leadership. A big annoucement for the day and we hope you all tune in and await for the next few annoucements.

Announcement Number Three:


Date: 28/11/12


The Elephants have had a successful drafting period. We had 3 selections in the National Draft and used these picks for the greatest talent in the land.

Our first pick was Lachie Whitfield, who is was the number one pick of the competition. He has great talent and will almost be a starter at the Elephants in his first AFL season.

Our second pick was for Oliver Wines. Wines is highly rated junior who could of gone higher than pick 7 in the National Draft. He is a ball winning jet and will with Whitfield join our midfield.

Our last pick for this year's draft was Tanner Smith. He was taken 36th overall and is highly rated. He will probide good cover in our defence stocks.

Overall, I believe the National Draft for the Elephants was very successful was we got 2 of the top 5, best young guns in the competition. This will strengthen our stocks in all areas.

So Elephants fans, please Welcome:

Lachie Whitfield                               Oliver Wines                             Tanner Smith
   




Announcement Number Four:


Date: 27/11/12

On a side note, Sam Dunnel has been promoted off the rookie list and has been given a perminate spot at his respected club. This will be valuable as he will be able to push for selection at the Elephants in all positions for the swing man. As you can see from the post below. He is very happy with the decision.

Announcement Number Five:


Date: 3/12/12


The Elephants have just signed 4 promising youngsters for the 2014 season. 3 of who will be most likely starters for the young and great club.

Alexanda Fasolo, Chris Mayne, Scott Selwood and Craig Moller all join the Elephants. We believe we got the best out of both trades and sad to let some of our stars go in order to recruit this great talent. I believe that this new talent will only make the squad stronger and will only help us with our quest to win the premiership. We believe the starting forward was a little weak, in order we had to recruit two consistant injury free forwards and Fasolo and Mayne fit the bill. As a result we were able to sell one of our better forwards, for one of the most promising midfielder in the competition. We also gain what Holz believe the best young ruck in the land.

   


As you can see, all players are estastic with their news clubs.
