Players to watch

Jake Neade, Sam Colquhoun, Oliver Wines
These three guys have come into the AFL system and torn up the playing field in the NAB Cup. Wines is an almost-certainty to play in Round 1, such is the size of his body and status as a first round draft pick. He offers a tough, uncompromising inside playing style and should play many games this season if his fitness and skill work is maintained. Neade and Colquhoun have also turned heads in the NAB Cup with their smaller statures concealing an explosive, hard-tackling forward and back respectively. There are still question marks over how far they are from debuting, or how many games they would play in that event. We’ll know soon enough come first selection this week.

Jasper Pittard
We haven’t seen much of Pittard. Plagued by injury during his first two seasons, all observations through this year’s pre-season show a young player capable of using his size and bulkier frame to win and move the ball quickly and efficiently. He was nominated for the NAB Rising Star in his first year and some of the things he has managed to do in the 2013 NAB Cup has shown why. Expect to see him run off half back and provide a strong rebounding presence.

Lewis Stevenson and Campbell Heath
These guys came to the club through the trade period and are similar in many respects. Both have been on the cusp of playing in high-ranked teams in West Coast and Sydney and each have come to Port Adelaide to add new dynamics to the side. You can expect to see both give good run and kicking skills out of defence particularly. Both are rated kicks and their experience in successful club cultures will keep the pair in good stead this year.

Thought this information may interest some of you... At the moment looks like Wines/Pittard are locked in for round 1. Neade/Colquhoun are maybes, most likely vest options if anything.

No problems mate,

No mention of Mitchell 

Yeah, a little troubling, but not something I am too worried about, I am 99% sure he will start against Melbourne.
