Lol not after that leg break. You'll be lucky if he plays more than 11 games.

possibly but from all reports its very similar to the way michael voss broke his leg in 98 and he played 20 games the following year...further more you'd like to think our grasp of the medical practice is leaps and bounds ahead of where we were 12 years ago so i hold high hopes of a big season from the man that nobody wanted 12 months ago but everybody wants right now.
the best thing is, even if he does only play 11 games, i'd still bet my house that he accumulates more votes than any of the poor souls on the west coast eagles list......
Youth is an excuse used by coaches and clubs to keep supporters on side. It doesn't guarantee improvement.Youth means improvement is to come.
Port is neither young nor good and therefore in a poor position.

You wouldn't know anything about Port's list except that Boak is half decent and Gray can play a bit so what point is there in discussing that?
A poor position would be bottom of the ladder and without pick one.
I already wish I'd never entered this thread.
He got less votes than priddis this year.
There might be some truth in your post though about him playing more than 11 games.
Look at palmer though with his knee reco. And brown after his leg break.
Wouldnt expect too much from barlow in 2011.

15. West Coast
16. Essendon

a reco is totally different to a leg break and brown's break wasnt clean, it splintered which caused complications further down the track.
the only realistic injury we can go by is voss' as it was extremely similar. therefore we can hold high hopes of a solid return next year. from what we have seen from barlow leads me to believe that if anyone was gonna come back from this injury it would be this guy!!!!
Woosha is The wce coach. You dont need to talk to me about that.
Truth can Hurt.
Other than Boak and a few highly rated draftees you picked up last year who haven't performed yet you aint got much going for you.
You have good youngish KPD's, An old and mediocre midfield, a terrible forward line, and a almost non existent ruck division for next year.
The mastenlike failure to date of your highest ever draft pick has hurt your list dramatically and most of your best players are terribly aged.
Who are Port Adelaide's best players then.
Posts like these show that some don't pay attention to AFL beyond their own local paper.
We both know that's a BS argument. See 2009, or 2010 ladder prediction threads.Laughable?
I'd suggest your post is.
Any club with the top end talent of Hawthorn is capable of a top 4 finish, and in 2010 we showed great form against the teams that you suggest we'll get nowhere near in 2011.

Thanks to trade week, the Pies have widened the gap between us and our next competitor by about 4-6 goals.
Can see them having an Essendon 2000 or St Kilda 2009 dominant kind of season.
Surely you'd want a season more rewarding than that.

True enough. Perfectly correct.Says who? Beig young doesn't guarantee impovement and improvement doesn't always occur naturally. Young players stagnate or go backwards all the time before they end up at a good level of performance.

That's circular tho.It doesn't guarantee improvement but is strongly correlated with it.
the two youngest teams last year by quite a distance were WCE and Richmond. You saying you dont expect either of these teams to improve over the next few years? Or GC who will most probably be the youngest team this year to not have improved in a few years time?
Dont be so petty and ridiculous.
The oldest most experienced teams nearly always finish higher than the younger teams.
