Great changes imo. Broad never should have been dropped. The extra medium sized defender that can play tall or small allows us to: a) throw Balta into the ruck or forward (way more competitive than Chol) b) swing Vlastuin forward (as has been done in a final against Cats) or into the midfield...

The Soldo injury is more the slight push from Dollhouse than the push on Balta by Hawkins that does the damage because he's not positioned properly by the momentum assisted by Dollhouse to protect his body from the oncoming pack. It does't look like there's much force in it but look where he...

Anyone seen Titch Edwards insta post before he took it down? Video of him and Rance running laps at the Vic hub.

Good time to shine the spotlight on Broad. He has conceded just 4 goals to his opponents this season. He's basically stepped up to Grimes' role, showing his versatility to play on and beat fast, crafty and tall forwards. Incredible work! R1 vs M.McGovern conceded 1 goal R2 vs Hoskin-Elliot...

Mentioned it back when Blues were interviewing Voss. He's been wanting to leave Port for a while now.

B.Ellis out B.Hill in Wants to play with his childhood hero, Marlion Pickett.

First article that acknowledges the progressive style we play rather than defaulting to the 'chaos footy' that so many in the media use because their peanut size of a brain can't process what they're seeing in front of them. Great article! Thanks for the link OP.

Take your pick Freo: Menadue + 19 for Cerra or Menadue + 40 for 26 They can also throw in Fyfe as a token of bargain well struck.

Anyone seen the highlights on the Suns' website.... https://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/video/2019-10-05/highlights-brandon-ellis They've just taken stock photos of Brandon, edited in a sherrin, moved his arms and played some commentary in the background. I don't know whether to laugh at the effort...

Band 1 - After first round pick (20) Band 2 - End of first round (20?) Band 3 - After second round pick (39) Band 1 is usually a top 5 paid player at the new club (Lynch). Band 2 is usually within the top 10 (Motlop/Lycett). So either the media reports of B.Ellis' contract were way off or Gold...

Hocking trying to give all the time in the world for the Eagles to find a second 1st round pick to send to his Cats for Kelly. But seriously, the Tom Mitchell point is so mute. It gave opportunity to Worpel playing more midfield minutes. Adversity creates opportunity. We’re such a stronger back...

The Murray talk includes several other clubs. I know the club was looking for a small defender/pressure mid post bye. The young Port player we were into was Darcy Byrne-Jones. Hoping the media have just stuffed up and heard we were into a Jones and thought it was Zak.

Has to be Castagna’s several bounces on the wing and into the forward 50. Raw pace and excitement to take the game on and blitz pass several defenders. Personified our style in a season where so many teams have tried to move the ball slower. The game is fundamentally about gaining territory and...

Huge if true. Tom Browne is usually pretty accurate, he went to melb uni so I think he'd know the difference between a simple latte and a chemical compound potentially on ASADA's banned list. Won't matter too much, Chol will come in and kick 5 to win the norm.

Was probably just behind Hurn, Vlastuin and Rampe as the best undersized intercepting half-back this season. If we could have Ryan playing a similar intercepting role he had at Freo, then we'd finally be able to play Vlastuin as a full-time big inside mid. Delicious.

Adjusted for points for and against the top 8 sides. 1. Geelong - 63% win rate, 136% f/a (100% MCG win rate from 3 games) 2. Collingwood - 63%, 103% f/a (57% MCG win rate from 7 games) 3. Richmond - 56% win rate, 88% f/a (71% MCG win rate from 7 games) 4. Footscray - 50% win rate, 112% f/a (nil...

Best mates with Lynch, Prestia and Caddy.

Balta doesn’t have metres gained stats. Champion Data gave him kilometres gained as an additional column instead.

Bad Couch and Tim Lunch are getting paid in leftover crumbs from Balmey’s secret monte carlo collection just to run onto the G alongside their childhood hero Sydney Stack.

Not exactly true. Nank actually averages more hitouts to advantage. Its more the style of how they ruck. Nank's hit out radius is smaller and more to the ground at his feet type, essentially easier to repeat stoppages. Soldo's radius is a little larger and likes to hit to space and moving...

We might have unearthed a gem here. Soldo's averaging 75 ranking points this season which isn't that special on its own but considering his TOG is only 70.3% its a decent output with lots of room for growth. The top 4 rucks in the comp are Grundy (129 points from 89% TOG), Gawn (124 from 86%)...

Guy at work said Blues were very keen around June, apparently he wants out. Also said we were into a player from his team. Wouldn’t say who but we’ve had discussions with his manager. Said he was a defender though. Maybe Wines plays HB in the SANFL ;)

Dimma listing 5 ins knowing full well that we'll only make 1 or 2 changes. Showcasing our depth leading into September. Nice flex.

The only certainty come finals is Noah Balta for GF Day sprint :padlock:

Defence this year is elite, any of these guys would be worthy with injuries the only factor separating them. KPD: 2 of Andrews vs Davis vs McGovern vs Tarrant General Defender: 2 of Hurn vs Grimes vs Rampe vs Stewart vs Ryan Half Back: 2 of Whitfield vs Z.Williams vs Rich vs Sheppard vs Lloyd...

Jack Martin is a :padlock: On a serious note, been told we're interested in a young defender from Port.

Not sure about Bolton but hearing Prestia is a late out ;)
