Port Off-Season 2018 Thread

[Koop]

So, not the end to the year that any of us wanted.

Polec looks all but set to join North Melbourne, rumour being Joe Atley as well in the same deal.

What do we get in return? First rounder surely?

Preuss/Lycett? Will we land either?

Outside run/class now that Polec is all but gone? Wingard can't do all the lifting. Amon is showere & Johnson no better. Could we see Watts moved up to the wing for his elite disposal? Could we target an out-of-favour runner from elsewhere? Jayden Hunt perhaps?

Do you guys see Ryder, Lycett, Dixon and Hoff all playing together?

Surely Hinkley gave Lycett assurances he would be playing every week

I reckon thats the plan!!! given Dixon would be wayyyy better up forward and Hoff can do whatever!!!

I don't think they'd be giving Lycett a 5 year 3 million dollar deal to be sitting in the SANFL :P

Ryder when fit is only behind Gawn as the best tap ruckman in the comp. So he plays.

Dixon is still our best key forward, he plays.

What's Hoff got to do with it? He's a utility ;)

Todd Marshall and Jack Watts though...

Ryder perma fwd, Slyce #1 ruck 8)

I'd say this will be a transitional process, but this is definitely the end goal. Ryder is going to need extensive management from here on out for the rest of his career.

Agree with PB however, if Watts isn't moved to the wing I'd say only one of him/Marshall will play week in week out.

Can we all just marvel at Hoff for a moment though. What a season he had, caps it off with the Best and Fairest. Club legend 8)

[crowls]

Hoff is the man,  just keeps getting the job done.   I watch him play and seems more like a hawk than a port player.

If you swap Rozeee for Rankine

[PowerBug]

Yeah idk who would be left come pick 5.

Depth is lacking though

[Cookie311993]

I don’t think Rankine will be available come pick 5. Word is that the suns will take 2 south Australians with picks 2 and 3, to reduce the chance of them getting homesick

With Rankine lighting up the combine you would assume he will be one of them

Don't think Port will be that unhappy with Smith if GC take the two besties (Lukosius & Rozee) at 2 & 3 and Adelaide trade for Rankine. Gives us burst out of the middle.

Aren’t Lukosius and Rankine the besties, with Rozee behind them just
