Why the hell did port let billy longer slip to 8th when they are in desperate need of a ruckman. You will look back in a few years and just shake you head at their choice. While wingard is good surely a ruckman has higher priority over small foward

valkorum

I dont agree.  They have Renouf, Lobbe with Redden developing.  Daniel Stewart could pinch hit in the ruck as well.  Wingard I think was the right pick for them

PowerBug

And Redden. ;)

No no no Fyfe_gun.

Keep the local Talent in SA. we have plenty of rucks in the sheds, we don't need any more.

BTW, we got WINGARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops. :-[ But there's no harm in mentioning him again. Maybe there's a Port coach on FF.

Wingard was a way better pick for Port..  ::)
They need local talent. It's a safer bet.

If the crows had pick 6 and Port had pick 8-9 i'd hope that the crows got Wingard. Coz lately there has been too much local talent going elswhere. Cooney, Didak, Gibbs, Hurn, Varcoe, Menzel.

I would think another Ruck is the last thing Port need  :P

They need more players like Wingard and B. Jacobs to steer them the right way

Lobbe and co. can seem to handle the ruck pressures

Agreed PB, great get and the right one. Port havent done much wrong this offseason, Ebert was a great get and Renouf will be a handy stop gap until Redden develops a bit more. Like the crows should, i think a mature aged ruck rookie would be a good idea in case of injury.

Fyfe_gun

Like James Sellar would have been perfect

I still think longer nd lobbe in ruck
renouf up foward with butcher and stewart and trengove in back you have set upp all young key position players

Agreed Mailman. We have key position players, and they are all young and developing. The hard gets of the engine room are what Port needed esp with Dom getting older now.
