[Ford Fairlane]

I love Walsh as a CHB.

Walsh's preference is to play defence and it's a Port Adelaide tradition to turn ok forwards into stellar defenders.

 

[Willsy10]

I don't rate Lukosius. Marshall likewise and he's got the added negative of the concussion problems. I like the way Lord plays and he's shown glimpses but he's also had many games where he's been close to invisible.

I'm not worried about the defenders either. None of those guys are going to win an All Australian guernsey but we don't need them to.

Except Allir who has already won an AA guernsey in 2021.

Oh and how many times was Luko dropped again last year? will be up to 5 or 6 soon.

45. Jacob Moss

Joe Berry loves the number 9 so Mitch moves to number so Joe Berry has a nine on his guernsey and everyone is happy.

Ollie Lord moves into the 22 vacant by big crippled Dixon and hopefully he can toss some common sense into old Kenny and change the game plan going forward. I was thinking Rory Atkins potentially could wear 22 but nah I’m not feeling it.

Jack Lukosius and Trent McKenzie both have a great left foot so it’s only fitting that the defensive cannon hangs over the number 12 to the forward cannon.

Logan Evans has to change numbers surely. I was tossing up between five or seventeen but I went seventeen since former defender Tom Clurey wore it well for many years.

Joe Richards moves into number 31 and hopefully he can kick a few more goals and prove to me that this number isn’t cursed. Francis Evans, Sam Skinner, Trent Burgoyne, Aidyn Johnson all wore the number 31 and none of them proved to be any good so Joe please prove me wrong.

Jack Whitlock and Christian Moraes both get irrelevant numbers for now but in 2026 or 2027 they can move up lockers.

Don’t forget Jacob Moss everyone. He’s going to get the most irrelevant number but I don’t care.

If Jack Watkins gets picked in the pre season then he’ll wear the number 43 since there’s no numbers left so .

 

[PowerLil]

Now that we have Whitlock, I feel a fair bit better about the combination of Georgiades, Lukosius and Whitlock going forward. It’s a good mix that covers different bases especially with the prospect of Berry and Barrett also bringing different talents to their roles forward.

I hate that we traded out of the first round but I think we’ll get back in there with one of Farrell (RFA) or Bergman moving on at the end of 2025, unfortunately.

Farrell?

 

[PJ Power]

Farrell?

Think he’s out of contract at the end of this year and is already being talked up as an in-demand free-agent. Obviously he’s a country Vic boy but I’m worried that Houston and Amon have set a precedent for us losing these seemingly happy, long-time servants in their mid-late careers.

As much as we had a surplus of HBFs, to lose one or both of Bergman and Farrell on the back of Houston would leave us very short of quality in that area of the ground.

Don't think Faz will leave. As far as I know he doesn't have a reason like Houston atm

Rankine was dropped to the Sun's reserves too before he went to the Crows, so that is not a reliable indicator of a players true talent. Lukosius will thrive at Port.

 

[davesnothere]

Only if Whitlock can develop to play 2nd ruck.

They say he can but I don't see it yet. Doesn't seem to like the bash and crash enough.

I don't like forwards turned into ruck options personally. Completely different skill set. Chop out now and then against other part timers maybe but it’s tough enough being a decent forward just do that.

Yeah that's all I meant.

I just want a better chop out than Finlayson.

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Absolutely no reason Whitlock can’t play next season and early on. Calsher Dear managed 17 games and 25 goals this year as a first yet key forward.

Only thing that will limit him is if we can’t improve our forward line and efficiency. He won’t last well if we bomb it to him in a pack. However open up space for him to move as the Hawks did, no reason he can’t play and be effective early.

 

[wayb2912]

we need another key defender on the list, that is the kind of ssp we should sign

It's one of those good problems to have. Still think given Ken's history we won't debut him early. But he could get a call up depending on form/injury.

I'd say George and Luko are locks for starting 18. Marshall probably not far behind. Club will be keen to get games into Lord, but form/injury history say that's no guarantee. Hard to see where Finlayson squeezes in too, he's too good for SANFL if he's fit.

SPP - Georgiades - Marshall/Whitlock/Lord
DBJ - Luko - Rioli

One spot for a forward on the Int: Richards > Berry > McEntee, or maaaaybe another spot for a Finlayson/Whitlock who could pinch hit in ruck as well

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Sam Skinner?

 

[Gryllis]

The position clearly open in the forwardline is 3rd tall/2nd ruck.

Seems a bit of an ask of Whitlock in this first year, but I'd love to see him get a go at some point if he's up to it.

There's not a clear standout. Marshall's medical cloud aside, all of Lord, Finlayson, Visentini, Soldo, maybe Whitlock at some point should be eyeing it off as a way into the team. Without a few contenders standing up, I worry we'll default to Esava in a quasi-Dixon bring it to ground role.

 

[Powerade 08]

Guy in the WAFL - Nathan Blee - could be worth a shot

 

[manureid]

Sam Skinner?

He probably takes 5 minutes to get out of his car these days given how slow he looked when he was on the list.

 

[Rising Power]

I absolutely see him getting a shot at some point.

I don’t think he’s too far off physically.

3 months in the weight room those shoulders and arms will tone up well.

Pfffttt.
You're dreaming.

He is an average football who can get very, very rich.

 

[Addy23]

Interesting comment by Burgoyne that Jack Watkins is another Butters type player. No idea what that means specifically in terms of traits but at least for the SANFL side thats a good sign.

Without Hugh Jackson, we literally had no mid depth in the Maggie's. McEntee not worth a burnt crumpet.
