They 36'ers had a great team that year

Darnell Mee
Paul Rees
Kevin Brooks
Brett Maher (I cant remember if he was playing then or 99/00)

They smashed South East Melbourne Magic 2-0

Great career. Will be missed badly at Port. Maybe we should get Mark Seaby to carry the ruck??

HMac and D. Hille will most likely be available at the end of the season.....

P Ryder up for grabs?

P Ryder up for grabs?

NEVER!!! :P. If he hasn't been dropped from the team yet, don't think he'll be traded :-X.

Trengove is quite a decent pinch hitter and Lobbe one for the future. Think they'd be in the market for one, so maybe H-Mac/Hille if there is no more room for him at the Roos/Bombers. Would be sad to see Hille go but Big Bell :o.

Brogan has had a solid career at Port and he will be missed by them as they lack another big man who is up to standards right now. Never knew he won a NBL championship as well :P.

The AFL won't be the same without one of its biggest chins :'(

Nah, of course they won't. Both Lade and Brogan. One should be in the Hall of Fame.
