Isn't his old man Jason who played at the Magpies in the 90's??

Smith - lacks speed and scoreboard impact.
Skinner was main list as DFA. So 37 down to 33, with 5 rookies down to 3.
We delisted and re-rookied both Woodcock and Grundy when they were contracted, too. It's not a barrier.
We would not have delisted them and re-rookied while contracted. It’s not possible from what I understand
Delisted, with a promise to re-rookie.
This is done by delisting them and then redrafting through the rookie draft. It's what Gold Coast were doing with Hugh Greenwood when North swooped in with a bigger offer.
Ah I see. My recollection was we moved them straight to the rookie list, not had to delist contracted players than re-rookie them.Port Adelaide list changes
Port Adelaide has made two changes to its list ahead of the AFL’s second list lodgement deadline.www.portadelaidefc.com.au
They were both drafted 1 year earlier, and we're on their initial 2 year contracts.
We should go to them with 8 and ask for 15, 18 and 19. Then offer North the three for JHF. This draft is 12 kids deep and to be fair, they take 5 first rounders they walk in 2 years…
Wait for it, Esava to Port, Hayes to Collingwood, Henry to Geel
Actually think Cockatoo would thrive here next year or two. After a year or two of full footy, the family ties back to the club, fills the age bracket we ‘lack’Ford Fairlane - Jason Cockatoo is Nakia's dad and played 4 games for Port in 1994 but I reckon he was here for 2 or 3 years when Che was at the club before being drafted by Essendon in 1993. His father Robert went down to North Melbourne in the 1980's and played in their U/19 and reserves side but did a knee injury.
Jason was a bit of a legend of the NTFL and made their Top 100 team of the century.

NAKIA Cockatoo can see himself wearing a Port Adelaide jumper on AFL draft day. But that hasn’t stopped several rival clubs from speaking to the Southern Districts and Territory Thunder star in the leadup to the November 27 national draft. One of the shining lights at this month’s draft combine, Cockatoo’s photograph and statistical data is well known to AFL recruiting staff.
But Port Adelaide, the club that produced the great Gavin Wanganeen, Fabian Francis and Cockatoo’s dad, long-time NTFL defender Jason, is closest to Nakia’s heart.
“Port is the team I’d love to go to, but just getting to a club would be fantastic,’’ he said. “I’m happy about how I went down at the draft camp. I put in 110 per cent down there and came up with some good results which I’m rapt about.
“Even now, two weeks later, I’m still training, still up and about and waiting to see what happens after what was a terrific week in Melbourne. “I’m holding my breath like everyone else around Australia now, just hoping I get my chance at draft time.’’ Cockatoo turns 18 today, but it is the 35 days until the national draft that concern him most.
The twins talked about uncle Jason when we signed them
The Cockatoo-Motlap connection to Port Adelaide is not only through their Uncle Che, but all their uncles on their mother’s side. Laquoiya said: “All my mother’s brothers – Uncle Che, Uncle David and Uncle Donald all played for Port Adelaide in the SANFL, and Uncle Jason Cockatoo.
“We have a strong family history with the club and for my sister and I, it just made sense to continue our family’s legacy … our uncles are like father figures to us.” Uncle David and Uncle Donald, like their nieces, are twins and both went on to play a handful of games for Melbourne in the AFL after stints with the Magpies in the SANFL.
33 for Rioli and 43 for Esava are both overs IMO.
End up with pick 7 for trading in a good player. AFL is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits.
