Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Rory Atkins

[dirty2]

I’ll start;

Luke Peel
Sam Russell
Danny Butcher
Robert Forster-Knight

Nathan Lonie

 

[El_Scorcho]

Him being the quintessential Crows flog makes this an incredibly low risk high reward piece of recruitment.

Can you imagine how ****ing irate Crows supporters will be if he plays well against them in a Showdown?

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

I listened to his podcast today to try and reset some negativity on the bloke. Decent guests at times, but with more content I am now certain he's an annoying flog. He interviews Hardwick after their round 1 selections came out last year and it's clear dimma had a line through the bloke the minute he walked in the door.

I'd personally like to see Rory succeed if he gets an opportunity. He has talent, has brought a good attitude and is now Port player. I think he could find a spot on the wing if he can find his previous form

Hi Mrs. Atkins

If I was John I would take offence to being in the same sentence as Lonie!

 

[Lagooner]

Yeah, Athletic traits that couldn’t football

Add Kornes to this list. Great runner, good tagger, sucked at football. Biggest chipscab we’ve ever had and every kick was as high as it was long. Hated watching him rack up 30 disposals with zero hurt factor week after week.

Lonie wasn't that bad, he was just a vanilla winger with a nice kick but absolutely zero physicality. He's definitely in the discussion for the softest player we've had but he doesn't rate a mention in the worst player stakes.

I don't know, Kornes leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth because of his later chipscab era (which was 100% Choco endorsed btw) and obviously his media personality, but he spent most of his career as one of the greatest taggers of all time who hurt the opposition the other way by being a hard running link man and playing within himself instead of fancying himself a quarterback.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Adam Morgan could be argued to be our most costly dud. Taken at pick 37 in the 1998 draft as a 17 year old (in that year each club could select one 17 year old), he played 3 games for a total of 8 possesions over five years. The biggest down side was we selected him over taking Pavlich as our 17 year old. He went undrafted that year. Like every other club (but not in the view of his Teal Cup coach Russell Ebert who rated him highly) we viewed Pavlich as having less up side because his junior dominance was put down to being due to his early physical development. Morgan was traded to the gullible Western Bulldogs where he played 14 games over the next 3 seasons for an average of 6 possessions per game.

Ok I’m all in!
Mark Conway & Nathan Steinberner.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I feel like spewing out my Power All Spud Team.

 

[bomberclifford]

Who was that guy that came in for about 15mins in a game and never seen again?
It was the worst 15mins ever in the history of sport.

Edit: Sam Skinner. To my amazement, he actually managed 2 games. Can only remember one of them and it was appallingly bad.

Sam Skinner was basically recruited after we delisted Jarrod Lienert. Now Jarrod was at best an average player who could play to the club’s instructions but when I saw Sam Skinner attempt to play as a backman I thought WTF
Yes, I did have a soft spot for Jarrod (I knew his grandfather) but Sam’s efforts were “appallingly bad”.
