Jack Watkins is trialling as SSP so we need a free spot.
Theres not much interest in the rookie draft, I think Twomey said there are going to be 10 new players taken. Most clubs are picking up their own delistees. Cochrane is likely to be our only pick and not for football reasons.

I don't think so.
Had a quick look on the AFL draft tracker and pictures of players and see if their were any dark skinned blokes. Yeah i know its deeper than that, but it was just a quick glance type reference.
I'm glad I did, because the only darked skinned player I noted was pick #9 Leonardo Lombard by GC from their academy. I look up his profile on RookiemeCentral to see if he was Aboriginal, he isn't but discovered that:
Leo Lombard Draft Profile
Suns Academy standout Leo Lombard is a combative, hard-working midfielder-forward capable of carving up the opposition.

Héctor Lombard - Wikipedia
GC don't need to employ John Donehue when Hector can help out his son's Suns teammates. This is the sort of bloke we need at Port to improve our tackling and grappling.

Have there been any rumours? I can't think of anyone we'd take at PSD. Seems like with DFAs and SSPs, the PSD may be becoming a bit irrelevant.
Would make zero sense to choose a kid we could've drafted in the main draft through PSD. So would have to be a mature age surprise. Even then you'd think that'd be a SSP likely scenario.
PSD pick ups are very rare these days.
Semantics, but a SSP player can also come in as Rookie and usually do.
Not yet, but tomorrow should have Malakai Champion and Ricky Mentha

PORT ADELAIDE
Picks (at the start of the draft): 13, 29, 36, 50
Selections: Joe Berry (15), Jack Whitlock (33), Christian Moraes (38)
The Power landed Murray Bushrangers livewire Joe Berry after using Pick 45 to get a pick ahead of West Coast in the first round, despite having been linked to a key-position type with their first selection. Berry is an exciting forward prospect who plays in a similar manner to Port Adelaide champion Joe Berry and is a chance to walk straight into Ken Hinkley’s best 23. Night two proved just as fruitful for the Power, snapping up slider Jack Whitlock at No. 33 — after it was understood they were surveying key forward options with their first selection. They made another value addition five picks later, calling the name of running machine Christian Moraes to supplement their midfield group.

Taking it with a grain of salt they graded us as an A, along with Brisbane and their 3 picks at 5,25 and 42 and gave A+ to Richmond no surprise there with 7 picks under 30 and 8 all up, and WCE with their 5 picks at 16,30,46,48 and 65.PORT ADELAIDE

In terms of rookie selections, if Dennis gets to us and we don't pick him then we are being irresponsible about our backline situation. Going all in on Aliir and BZT is reckless imo. One big injury to either of them and our season is over.
If people tell me "we have Esava, Marshall and Finlayson who can go back" as excuses then you're only kidding yourselves. One doesn't know which way is up when he's in defence, one is a hit away from retiring and the other is going through a personal issue and is not fully focused (obviously I don't blame him). We delisted Cluz and KMarshall (the latter of which I don't really care).
If we took KMarshall 2 years ago for his athleticism, we can take Dennis for his actual defensive craft at least as a rookie.
Would also look at 1 of Hargrave, Day-Wicks or Murphy. We cannot use up a position on Watkins who clearly no other recruiter rates in any form and put him on our AFL list

On Monday if you where offered
Whitlock
Berry
Moraes
You would have taken it and run.
Melts over Berry first picked but it has worked out.
It's an A for mine.
We have an issue with Key Defenders that needs to be addressed but probably a target next year. We need a plan for Douglas Cochrane eventually.
I thought we did great. I would have liked to round off the draft with Clancy Dennis but it seems like we weren't taking a fourth pick for reasons. I still like day-wicks of the undraffted players.
Basically these days you leave one spot open, get some players out to train and then add the one that is stepping up
We got 2 spots left so take both?
Agree on all points. I’m unashamedly a Lorenz fan and reckon he will be an improved version of Polec. Hard running, neat kick, cuts angles and likes a goal.
Berry is growing on me and Jack will be a lock into the future.
Berry plays like champion Port Adelaide player Joe BerryPORT ADELAIDE

I'm the reverse
Moraes has the highest ceiling of the 3. Was a top 10 contender this time last year. Backed it up with a good year although not as strong as Smith, Langford, Smilie etc. I think he's got a lot of traits similar to Rozee. His real development will come through once there's a head coach change that would allow us to lower the eyes. Yeah he's got an interesting technique but I'd say it's normally good too.
Berry is a good small forward, I think he'll consistently kick 30 goals a year. I still stick to my point that he isn't a need but don't question the quality of the player.
Whitlock is a bit meh for me, I ultimately think we'll stuff up his development (or any tall's) anyways by swinging him forward and back. Consistent with what we've done for Lord and now Walsh.
Highly doubt we are capable of doing that in an objective manner without playing favouritesTrue.
Maybe we just delist someone over summer to open up another list spot
I'd love to. It isn't going to happen for some strategy reasons I dont understand
I'll never understand to, makes no sense. SSP selections don't have a high hit rate imo
