Resource Potential Port Adelaide father son players

[Blinky Nyland]

We have nominated Barrett, not Rome

Very disappointing. Where was this announced?

"Despite the opportunity to commit to several father-son prospects ahead of the draft, Port Adelaide have decided against locking in any of Rome Burgoyne, Louie Montgomery, Ky Burgoyne and Oliver Francou."

Well that is just dumb. At least nominating Louie or Rome could work to get one in the rookie draft if they slide there.

It indicates they don't rate them and won't rookie them anyway I'd imagine.

You are probably absolutely right about that but it does seem strange when both Rome and Louie looked pretty promising when they played for the Maggies. They are unlucky that they were in a strong draft year and we didn't have many list spots open. Trent Burgoyne was not a patch on Rome but he was rookied. The announcement also raises questions about where the recruiters see Benny Barrett in the draft. I'd be annoyed if we took him in the national draft given our final pick is slated to be at pick 45. There are more than a dozen players rated higher than Benny Barrett that will still be available in the draft at that point. I'm hoping he's only considered for the CAT B rookie draft.

If they nominate them, they must list them. We'd be 100% certain to list Barrett if he gets through the main draft.

I wouldn't expect that Rome is totally ruled out, but right now the recruiters are probably unsure of where our picks will end up, and who'll be left in the rookie draft and probably don't want to commit to the F/S boys if there's someone we were keen on there.

I suspect that there is still a chance though on our rookie list for Rome, will just need to see how it all falls.

If not, I would be surprised if Montgomery & Rome don't join Francou on our SANFL list under the futures rule.

Hinkley probably doesn't want to hear the words "son of 2004 premiership player ...."

So Port not nominating any father sons this draft.

We clearly dont develop them as well as other clubs. Look at the father sons from the Brisbane dynasty

Jase Burgoyne took some time to reach the level, I have no doubt Rome would be similar with some time in the AFL system.

I would be shocked if he is not on an AFL list next year, and I would be disappointed if that was with another club.
