After playing some sanfl last year he should be in our preseason cup squad to see if he is ready to step up.

Yeah, I'd expect to see him in the pre-season and if his body is up to it and he looks ready then play him.

Boak debuted in Round 12 of 2007, he also spent the first 2 rounds of the SANFL season in the bay ressies if memory serves. Port Adelaide were none too pleased at the time.
Was there for his first League game
But Boak was coming into a team that was premiership contenders
Wingard will come into a team that a 12th spot finish will mean it had a good season
He will play 18+ games
Hypothetical question for those who saw them both as juniors. If you had to pick between an 18yo Hamish Hartlett and an 18yo Chad Wingard which way would you lean. In other words, is Wingard a better player than HH was at 18?
I've got no idea, but based on their style of play (from highlights of Wingard), Hartlett reminds me of Buckley and Wingard of Wanganeen. Obviously injuries, determination, development, etc may well prevent either from reaching those heights. But they are the comparisons that come to mind most readily for those two. Hartlett obviously needs to win more ball and play more midfield time to be anywhere near Buckley's level.
I have thought about this the last couple of days and to be honest I am yet to make a decision either way. Hamish racked up possessions more than Wingard did but the way Wingard can impact a game in a short period of time would probably see me lean towards Wingard but this is splitting hairs.
Hartlett wins currently on class and clean disposal
Wingard wins on pure freak.
Wingard wins on pure freak.
I think people forget that Hartlett was elite at winning the hard ball in the under 18's because we have played him as an outside player so far.
A fit Hartlett could be the best player in the comp.

Hardly deep analysis. Everyone on our list except Matthew Westhoff and possibly Kane Cornes will get a pre-season spot.
Edit: Whoops, no longer on our list
Matt Westhoff is long gone. (thankfully)
It looks like Capel has put "controversially" behind him, and his new buzz word will be "sensationally".

Q & A with Chad here: http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6038/newsid/126588/default.aspx
Loved his answers to the questions, sounds very down to earth. Particularly liked how he kept reiterating his desire to have a big pre-season and build a name for himself as player.

Had a quick chat to my sister over the weekend, found out he was a student at the College she teaches at and was in fact one of her students.
Her comments were in line with everything else we've heard - he's got a good head on his shoulders, VERY organised, and a great sportsman.
Interestingly, he attended the same college as another former first round selection we made in Tomilf.

That he did. I know both of them and I have to say Chad is 100x more focused than Thommo was. Adam is a great bloke but was not the most committed person unfortunately. Chad is the total opposite and thats why we should be very excited.

You mean he's totally committed but he's a shit bloke?
I'm sure Chad will get a few Milf's hearts racing as well. Red One is selling him short.You mean he's totally committed but he's a shit bloke?
No doubt about that, I dare say he will be having a lot of fun living the life
The club might need to put you on their payroll as part time recruiter, RED ONE, given that there's another Imperials (Murray Bridge) lad who could be up for drafting in a year or 2. Dwayne Wilson.
Yeah will be interesting to see how he develops.
