Fortunately quantity over quality.Port love rucks
I have seen enough to know sanfl is his level.Burgess has been a real disappointment
Absolutely correct. I was 100% wrong.
No, it’s mainly because you have to delist uncontracted players on the senior list to make room on the list to actually draft players.Why do ppl think just because someone's out of the side it's a guarantee they'll be delisted. Sholl was a regular, then he was on the outer for almost a whole season and then was re signed. Crouch similar. Hamill similar.
People also reckon Gollant will be delisted but how long did it take fog to come good? He's just hit some good form in the twos now as well. Won't be surprised if he gets another 2 years.
Its time to talk about Tex and Crouch
Crouch I have mentioned before as being possible trade option or SANFL break glass only
We have our core and any mids we draft can get guidance from him in the 2s
If he doesnt like it I think we ask where he wants to go
Tex - I know this is difficult for some - akin to putting down a favourite dog - but there comes a time when its the best for both parties
I see a future where he isnt an auto selection and its rushing up on him.

Crouch will be around for another year but I hope he doesn't play much.
I think the argument with Tex is not so much about can he get through another season and kick some goals in say 50% of games. I think we can nurse him through again and he would contribute.
I don't think he would offer anything more leadership wise than he already has. Last night proved that. His experience is also limited to one club.
I think the argument is more has the playing group moved past him and is it time for the new generation to completly take over and make their own history.
I think it is time, I'd like to think a small part of Tex might have felt that watching last night.
I wonder if we’ll see articles during the week about 2 year offers from other clubs get rerun. This would be the least confident anyone has been of our need for him to go around again. Given his role, it’s been a poor year, injury hampered and we beat a team away that’s in the 8 and he’s rested having played only 3 games following a month off.
Yes. When the Port mids actually turn up. Sometimes they don't especially when playing decent sides.I'd say the Adelaide list is better for forards & defenders. Port's is considerably better for midfielders.
You have to be the leading contender for Kristof's title. I reckon you're in with a genuine shot. ;-)Here’s best case scenario for mine , based on what I heard yesterday and then us with some smart forward planning
In:
Cumming - FA
English - FA
Trade in another top 10 pick - Freo (will need Warner ammo , or GC who will have it sucked up on Lombard pick.
2nd round pick from St.kilda for Berry who looks gone with “put off talks til end of year”
We go to draft and get
5- Draper
8- Lalor ( if he is gone then we get Dodson)
25- Champion/Barret
Welsh - F/S
You ever want to propose anything around List Management, Bicks?You have to be the leading contender for Kristof's title. I reckon you're in with a genuine shot. ;-)
And what does your best case look like out of curiosity?You have to be the leading contender for Kristof's title. I reckon you're in with a genuine shot. ;-)
Nope I have Draper above Lalor at this point in time depending on the finish to the season. We haven't seen the best of either to this point for obvious reasons.And what does your best case look like out of curiosity?
You’d have Lalor at 5
Tbh I’d do that but we’ll go the safe local option first

But reading between the lines, if we got either you would be very happyNope I have Draper above Lalor at this point in time depending on the finish to the season. We haven't seen the best of either to this point for obvious reasons.

I think that's fair.
Up to Adelaide now to find A grade midfield talent given our poor year and access to another top pick.
But the analysis also doesn't consider our other youth who in volume will overpower what Port have drafted given the two clubs performance over the past 5 years and Port trading away their picks.
My under 26 analysis
Port
JHF, Butters, Rozee, Georgiadis, Farrell, Drew, Burgoyne, Evans, Bergman, Mead, Sinn, Jones, Marshall, Lord, BZT, Williams
Crows
Rachele, Soligo, Michalanney, Rankine, Thilthorpe, Fogarty, Worrell, Dowling, Pedlar, Sholl, Taylor, Murray, Butts, Keane, Berry, Curtin, Ryan, Edwards, Cook, Hamill, Nankervis
Crows list bats way deeper in talent levels and quantity. The challenge for the Crows is to add A grade talent at the top end especially in the midfield to drive that advantage home, not just compared to Port, but in terms of our long term top 4 ambitions.

Fyfe was a top 2 players in the league and Fremantle didn't win a premiership, did play in a Grand Final though.I think the difference for me is JHF. He has the potential to be a top 5 player in the league which you normally need to win the flag. Swap him and I think our list is better.
