Will get us a pick around 40 this year.

In what world are we getting a pick around 40 for Hayes?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Or it will be just like basically every home game against a decent team where we start $1.70 to $2.10 favourite and lose.

The same nuffies you see defending Ken on Facebook, punt on Port ar home each week and keep the odds down (especailly against teams with smaller supporter bases) despite the losses.

Did you guys know, that yesterday was an Ollie Wines type of day?

Whatever the **** that means.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Wow!!! His head must be about 12 feet above the ground. Teakle is an incredible athlete for his size and highly skilled too. Hopefully he can quickly learn the craft of rucking.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Phwooaar plenty to look forward to lads.

'PORT ADELAIDE

The Power endured a disappointing 2022 where they started with a shock 0-5 run and never recovered.

But Port Adelaide still possess a list with strengths across the park and won’t need to turn to their young guns just yet.

Tall forward Ollie Lord did look to be the best prospect of an early debut until a nasty collision at training saw him sidelined this month.

Lord copped a knee to the back, lacerating a kidney, and he is now recovering after a stint in hospital.

Rookie Nathan Barkla has impressed after coming through the club’s Next Generation Academy, but a Rd 1 debut looks unlikely.'

Has the guy who wrote this article actually spoken to anyone who has seen Port this pre-season. Lord and Barkla have not been really standing out but Scully. Visentini and to a lesser extent Jackson have. Fails to mention a couple of handy players in JHF and Riloi impressing and certain to make club debuts.

That Gold Coast trial game last season spilled right over into the season.

Throw the “It’s only pre-season” talk in the bin.

Taking the foot off the pedal is what we do. Even did it through the Choco era.

Fair feat to put your foot on your own throat though

Yeah dunno. Summernats was last month.

 

[Adz2332]

Im a bit concerned with what we do with Boak.
Love the guy, true champion of the club, but we need a new exciting midfield. Rozee, Butters, JHF... Wines is a lock.

Boak on the HFF was a nightmare

I am not sure it was a nightmare, he just wasn’t as present in that role as his all Australian midfield years, and it was too early to move him out when they did. We have to transition into a new midfield like you said, the younger guys are ripe to step up, but he is still way too good both performance and health wise to be transitioned totally out of the team. I think part time mid/high half forward will be a good role for him now.

 

[RossFC]

Wines, Boak and Rozee should be the starting 3, with JHF, Butters and SPP being in the rotation.

If any of the latter 3 do better, raise their minutes.

 

[Jonts]

Boak played the Hinkley high half forward the best out of anyone maybe bar Ebert


Its just a unrewarding role

And we had no-one to replace him with back then, so our midfield suffered. That's not the case any more.

Though I'd argue both Butters and SPP have performed that role as well (differently, but still well) in the last couple of years.

I agree... I don't think hbf would be any better.... But he needs a new home and be a 2nd string midfielder

Wing.
His two way running is still as good as anyone on our list.
Knows how to accumulate high possession numbers.
Impacts the scoreboard.

Comes off the bench for 10 to 12 minutes every quarter, and runs the oppo into the ground after having been gassed by chasing Duursma, Bonner, Rozee, et al.

I think King’s criticisms are fair
