We'll get 2x firsts, because that's how the club will be able to spin a story to the members. But it'll be a trade like pick 12 and pick 18 for Houston and an early second round.Port: give up first round pick for depth-tier players.
Carlton: we aren't giving up pick 11 for 2xAA Dan Houston.
Rumour is Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow.The missing
We are all saved!!!
I for one think we should keep recruiting fringe/delisted Geelong players in place of drafting and developing talented kids
Rumour is Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow.
John Ralph said last night that the clowns are Luko’s preferred destination, as is Cummings.Rumour is Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow.
Did that rumour come from the crows board or elsewhere?Rumour is Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow.
He only said they can offer more money than Port. But if we don’t get Cumming I don’t see why we can’t use some of that leftover cash to throw at Luko.John Ralph said last night that the clowns are Luko’s preferred destination, as is Cummings.
Doubt he'll be available but I like Harvey LangfordI'm going to preface this by saying that it is hard to make judgements on players when the coaching is so bad.
We have a very good list at the moment that is right in the premiership window. If we had a good coach, we could be talking a dynasty but with Ken, we may be able to jag a flag if we are lucky but as they say, luck fortunes the brave.
PORT ADELAIDE POWER 2025
This is assuming Houston has left.
Rioli, Georgiades, Byrne-Jones
Powell-Pepper, Ratugolea, KPF
Drew, Wines, Burgoyne
Farrell, Aliir, Bergman
Logan Evans, Zerk-Thatcher, Jones
Sweet, Rozee, Butters
Horne-Francis, 2ND, 3RD, 4TH
Players who could be upgraded - Ratugolea, Byrne-Jones
Players getting games but not locks - Mead, Sinn, Visentini, Lorenz
Players yet to debut but close - Jackson, Anastasopoulos
Ratugolea and Byrne-Jones could easily be upgraded.
PLAYER NEEDS
Our major needs in the 22 right now are:
Key Position Forward who can ruck - Charlie Dixon replacement
3rd Tall Forward
Dan Houston replacement - if he leaves
Lesser needs are:
goal kicking small forward
another high quality midfielder - but I always want that
Needs for the future:
Aliir Aliir replacement
Ollie Wines replacement
Willie Rioli replacement
DELISTING AND TRADING PLAYERS
The players who should be seriously looked at being delisted or traded, in order, and contracted:
Trent McKenzie - 2024
Tom Clurey - 2025
Jed McEntee - 2025
Charlie Dixon - 2024
Francis Evans - 2024
Travis Boak - 2024
Dylan Williams - 2025
Ryan Burton - 2024
Quinton Narkle - 2024
Very strong rumours of wanting to be traded:
Dan Houston - 2027
Ivan Soldo - 2025
I don't follow the SANFL but younger guys to be looked at:
Kyle Marshall - 2024
Tom McCallum - 2024
Personally, I would give young players 4 to 6 years to prove themselves especially to key position players unless they are obviously lazy or talentless.
Possible early retirement from brain injuries:
Todd Marshall - 2029
INCOMING
The draft this year is strong and said to have Top 20 players until the 40s.
TRADING IN
Harry Perryman - 2024 - Houston replacement
Joe Richards - 2024 - small forward, 22 or backup
Jack Lukosius - 2026 - overqualified 3rd tall
NGA - Benny Barrett
Father, Son - Louie Montgomery, Rome Burgoyne, Ollie Francou
Pick 36
Houston Pick 1
Houston Pick 2
Soldo Pick
With those possible picks, we should grab the best mid, the best KPF, trade for Lukosuis and then best player available.
PLAYERS IN THE DRAFT I LIKE
Midfielders - Draper, Smilie, Hotton, Lindsay
Key Position - Armstrong, Trainor, Shanahan
The List Management Team have a huge off season ahead of them and if Houston and Soldo leaves and we get good value, it could really help our team sure up good, young players to complement our already good, young list.
