If he's got clean hands and explosive speed, I don't mind it.

Too much of the elite football development pathways run through private schools, especially in Victoria. If he's from outside that network and has some elite qualities, it's worth a look.

Fractured bone in his foot kept him out most of the year. Doesn't hurt to have a look at him.

How many spots do we have to fill at the Magpies?

1.

Unless we delist someone else - ala The Cheese, Charleson, Williams, etc al.

We have until late Feb to add to the inactive list which would also open a list spot. Hope Marshall’s over his issues but it will be interesting how he goes over the preseason.

Just bring the ball to ground. It’s all we expect from our tall forwards. Bring it to ground so that Q, Jed and Frank can do their thing.

Loser mentality from the ultimate loser. Wow, I luv being a Port supporter.

 

[rogerjames]

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.

Might mean his approach to training. Butters is a dedicated, full on trainer from my observations. Maybe Watkins is too.

oooohhhhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyy

Cheltenham young gun Josh Lai training with Port Adelaide in hope of landing SSP spot​

No Coates League? No VFL? No worries. A 19-year-old with just 12 games of senior football under his belt in Melbourne has been invited to train with Port Adelaide for a spot on its list.

So glad he's a young gun.

So what is the status of our current list? I had a look at the PAFC website and note that Dan Houston is still listed as are the likes of Clurey, McCallum, Narkle and co. Obviously the story that Dan Houston was traded to Collingwood is nothing but a vicious rumour.

Has Logan Evans been elevated to the Senior list or are we still paying him a Rookie List wage? Is Jordan Sweet, who looks to be our no1 ruck choice, still a rookie? Have we even got the space and salary cap room to elevate these two if we want to? I know we have a couple of train ons working with us and one of them may be picked up by Feb 21. Maybe we need the room to add Josh Lai or Jack Watkins to the list or maybe we are planning for the Mid Season Draft?

By my count, which could be wrong, if Sweet and Francis are still listed as Rookies we only have 35 players on the Senior List. We could have as many as seven Cat A Rookies and Jacob Moss as a Cat B.

Usually footywire.com has it right but they are listing Rory Atkins in the no2 guernsey and Jack Lukosius as no 13! If they cannot get guernsey numbers right what else have they got wrong?

Hopefully someone can clarify the situation.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Didn’t think Sweet was a rookie last year, didn’t think you could trade in a rookie?

Thought our 4 Rookies last year were McIntee, Williams, Evans and Narkle…

Sweet is not a rookie at Port and never has been.

Who is Francis?

Our Cat A rookies are
L Evans
Walsh
Cochrane
Williams

Our Cat B rookies are
Moss
Barrett

We have one senior list spot open which we will fill in the SSP.

100 % Laid.

At the moment not me.

 

[Acemanjam]

Who would you guys rather

Watkins or Lai?

Would need to see more footage of Lai first. Also only seen limited footage of Watkins.

Watkins will play for Port regardless of whether he gets an AFL spot or not.

Lai might have more upside, and probably wont stay with us if he doesn't get the spot, so I have a slight preference for taking a punt on him. Hard to say though from what I know about both.

From a business perspective this, with a handshake to Watkins that if there is a season ending injury or retirement he is first cab off the rank mid year. Would also be gunning for Lai’s brother with a second handshake “if there is a second mid year selection” he will be on our list to finish the year.

Thanks for that, I can rely on BF for accurate information, it is a pity the PAFC cannot keep the supporters up to date via the Club website. Then again that is yet another indication of the way the PAFC has gone downhill in the Koch era. They are too busy with the inclusive agenda to worry about the basics.

I suspect I was confusing Logan Evans with Francis Evans. Doubtless they will elevate Logan Evans to the senior list at the end of 2025. Then again the way Port have operated lately they are just as likely to delist L Evans and offer McEntee another two years.

PS. Francis was a talking mule. Geez, that is going back to the days when Ford Fairlanes had white wall tyres.

Watkins or Lai?

Go with Lai as he is a local lad from Cheltenham. Wot? There is a Cheltenham in Victoria?

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Who would you guys rather

Watkins or Lai?

I'd rather get Laid.

 

[Andre]

Who would you guys rather

Watkins or Lai?

Maybe I'm being harsh, but Watkins screams the next Sutcliffe or McEntee pick. Not big enough/good enough to be an AFL midfielder, so becomes an ineffectual small forward. You just know if he gets picked he's getting games in the forward line, to do not much. Lai is unlikely to make it, but if he does, at least it wouldn't be as playing a role that shouldn't exist.

Watkins or Lai?

Lai is 19.

All things being equal a 19 year old kid as the last list spot is more likely to provide a better long-term outcome.

That's on all things being equal. Watkins at his age needs to be knocking on the door of selection of the afl side.
