Okay. Where in this 'nucleus' are the centre square mids capable of matching it with the likes of Martin/Cotchin/Prestia or Kelly/Coniglio/Taranto? Where's the future KPF's to match Riewoldt/Lynch or Cameron/Himmelberg/Finlayson? Where's the KPD's to match Rance/Grimes or Davis/Haynes?
We've got a lot of talent but we don't have a 'nucleus'. In typical Port Adelaide fashion we've got the icing but we forgot to bake the cake.
This is my read on our list as well. I think we've done pretty well to build a very good 2nd tier, but we lack players with obvious, top end elite potential apart from Rozee, IMO (new draftees notwithstanding). We've also lacked the ability to turn elite potential into elite footballers during the Hinkley era apart from Wingard, who we forced out.
