as a DFA. Wouldn't be surprised given Port's track record of collecting Geelong rejects like they're Pokemon over the past few years.

Buzza, Evans, Narkle, Ratugolea.....Parfitt?

Anyone surprised at Hardie’s delisting clearly only looks at stats and hasn’t watched much footage.

- very one paced and a below average user of the ball. People often forget the step up from VFL to AFL level is huge.

I've watched him play at the ground multiple times. Was best on ground for 2 of the games I saw.

If the step up to AFL is as difficult as you say then no VFL players would ever be elevated.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Below average user of the ball? Are you one of those people that haven’t watched him?

He had some good kicks in him especially on the opposite foot. But i don't think with his speed and size he would really get the opportunity to use it in the seniors.

First big trade news of GF week -

I'm 10 pages behind, but not sure if this has been asked. JL going to Port Adelaide. I wonder where does this leave Ollie Lord future at Port Adelaide? I know we were into Ollie Lord last year but will this open Ollie thoughts of leaving?

 

[supahoops]

Didn’t see one game of Hardies where I thought I’d love to see him in the ones the following week. Solid VFL player but sometimes that’s the level, most of us would’ve taken that.

 

[Willo_]

I'm still struggling to see how people think Neale is a good long term option... That performance in the prelim was one of the worst I have seen from a player.

Hawkins on one leg would have offered more. The bloke can hardly run as well and you murdered in the rebound after the footy hit him in the face instead of his mitts.....

Goodness me I've read some absolutely ****ing dribble on this site, but this may take the cake.

 

[Strange Cat]

178cm and 48 years old? Get him in

The Geelong B-Team

Sorry Craig Jones

Which part do you disagree with? Don't tell me you thought he had a good game.

What are your thoughts when watching Clark at VFL level?

 

[Warhorse]

There are people on this board who think Bruhn had a good game

 

[Lana]

178cm and 48 years old? Get him in

Nother Well special at the end of the draft, 12 months from now they'll all be wondering why no one else was even looking at him

 

[bombersboy]

What are your thoughts when watching Clark at VFL level?

Undersized (underdeveloped) 20 year old kid hard as a cats head who at times displays outstanding vision and ball use.

 

[Hinkley29]

I'm not super enthusiastic about Kennedy but if the club wants it then hey. Go nuts

He would be a far better option than Martin.

Kennedy might actually get out of the trainers room once in a while so that is an upgrade over Martin.

 

[Schmuck]

Below average user of the ball? Are you one of those people that haven’t watched him?

Enlighten me as to why you think he wasn’t up even getting even one opportunity at AFL level.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

He would be a far better option than Martin.

Yeah I don't really get the interest in Martin. Injury history and player type.

Just to even things out a touch, we'll take Ollie Lord off their hands for them

Probably delisted

He was in their academy so they know the player at least

 

[Hinkley29]

Wonder if a big change of scenery could do him some good, still young

How many changes of scenery does one need?

 

[foxdog50]

Smith can probably choose between #2 or #3 unless he wants to go higher for whatever reason. But yes, the way it works is that he would most likely get first pick on a number and the rest sort themselves out.

You said we will Bailey Smith decision 24-48 hours... you still stand by that?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Pretty sloppy if that got out so soon

Jack looking for a non-geelong option?

 

[Hinkley29]

Yeah I don't really get the interest in Martin. Injury history and player type.

I thought we would have been put off constantly injured players after the Mitch Clark and Jack Steven experience, but here we are

 

[supahoops]

What are your thoughts when watching Clark at VFL level?

Clark had moments where you can see he has the class to excel at the top level once he adapts to the speed of the game and his body can handle the higher intensity. Might be one of those who will look better at AFL rather than VFL
level but don’t expect to see that consistently until 2026.
