Not yet. I don't want our seniors teaching this kid bad habits with the gameplan, let them get their heads around it first before blooding a kid into a currently by and large listless senior group.

i see i as a way to improve on the side. The attitude from the kids in NAB1 was the best we've seen from port since 2014 (excluding the haws games) so if we take out the under performing guys and you've got guys like Wines, Wingard, R.Grey, Boak, Hombsch and Pittard.
 
One of the things lost on the side is the youthful enthusiasm of a promising debutant which makes the idea of him getting a run sooner rather than later one we should look at as soon as he's ready.

Booming accurate kick, seems a good decision maker & isn't a plodder like 3 other players in our backline. Both Byrne-Jones & Bonner should get a look in soon.

I was one to advocate trading for established players but this is one year we should look to trade out some stagnant players in order to hit this draft hard & bring in some talented youngsters.

what I've been thinking about is the top 10 draft pick we where offered for Lobbe, i love the guy and don't like the idea of trading out guys like him (great clubman) but Ryder is a better ruck and with him coming back in next year is it something to consider if the offer is back at the end of the year ?

Both guys are getting very close to 30 and we have seen they don't work well in the side together, even less workable with Dixon coming in, and the potential rise of Howard over the next year.

Certainly not calling for him to be given the flick but for long term success (10 years) its worth talking about.

your right he is getting better and better.
what's up with Snelling :(. What I've seen I like
hopefully he's a sleeper like Houston/Hewitt Johnson/Frampton

Most of last years draft class have been injured in some form or fashion.

I'd say Bonner has been the most consistent of the lot. Houstons best so far has been better than anyone else.
Consistent in terms of staying on the park. Still floats in and out of games far too much. A lot to like about him though, sure.
 
The kid has a had a few highlights even before he got injured. Might have played a game if he had stayed on the park. Great rebound from defense and penetrating kick. Will be a gun
 
Will Snelling has a busted Foot last i heard.
Is it the dreaded navicular? Saw his clearance work before the injury and for an 18yr old...impressive.
Got high hopes for Will. When we payed Westies at Alberton got talking to one of their fans.
He said both Snelling and Bonner are beauties.
Liked the look of Frampton in his 1st game back. He's quick for his size and a good kick.

From a 2nd hand source i got told he was aiming to return after the bye weekend. Whether he meant the SANFL or AFL bye i am not sure
