Port Adelaide are in danger of losing prized 2010 first-round draft pick Ben Jacobs.

Just a day after another first-round draft selection, Steven Salopek, walked out on Port Adelaide to pursue free agency, Jacobs is "wavering" on his future.

"He's not sure what he wants to do but obviously we are very keen to keep him at our club," Power football operations manager Peter Rohde said.

Jacobs, 20, is contemplating following his girlfriend, Olivia Edwards, back to Melbourne.

Ms Edwards recently returned home after spending a year with Jacobs in Adelaide.

Oh no  :(

At the moment our round 1 team would consist of the first 22 guys to come back to Pre season training if 22 guys don't comeback we will just raid the Auskick whoever can kick and mark can play for us.

If you sign a 3+ year contract extension give them life membership

Port might win a game next year?

Chad Wingard, Hamish hartlett, Jackson Trengove and John Butcher are as good as any four young combo in the AFL, I won't name the rest of the youngsters but there is something to work with, is you disagree you are wrong!

[Noz]

We have a host of young talent when we get more game time in them we will be a force again.

Small fact in the last 8 years we have been in the same amount of grand finals as Collingwood, Hawthorn and St Kilda, Sydney, West Coast.

yeah, butcher's amazing, that's why he's played 12 games in 3 years at a failing port side... and wingard really looks the goods with his 10 possession per game average aye? Trengove is good, especially considering his youth, and there aren't many young key backs to compare him to, hartlett doesn't stand up to redden, rockliff or rich in brisbane though.

if it comes down to it, Shiel, Greene, Davis, Cameron. All of them are younger or the same age, and better than the ones you've mentioned.

or, we can go again with coniglio, treloar, devon smith, patton (albeit patton hasn't shown as much due to his injury this year)

I'd use GC as well, but to be fair expansion clubs do have an advantage with their picks... although so too does port with their showerness over the last couple of years.

lets try anyway
Adelaide- Dangerfield, sloane, walker, talia, all of them were born in the 90s
lions- rockliff, redden, rich, golby, zorko, longer are all pretty young as well and shown better signs.
Collingwood- Blair, beams, fasolo, sidebottom- albeit lacking young key players, but have monsters like witts developing in the vfl
Essendon- heppel, zaha, hibberd, hurley
geelong- hunt, motlop, walker, christensen
freo- de boer, suban, fyfe, hill

and I cbf going any further- basically I was just going alphabetically through the team lists, and all the way up to geelong, at which point I cbf going on with gc, there are teams with equally, or better, sets of youngsters.

I wouldn't call 2007 a grand anything.

[Noz]

Wingard spent most games as the sub.

Hartlett will be a gun and better then everyone thinks.

Butcher suffered injuries in his 3 years at the club he can play though. Will be in Coleman contention if he can remain fit.

[Ziplock]

yeah, they're not terrible players, they're young and developing... I'm just saying a lot of clubs have equally good, young developing players :P

[Noz]

Actually I will agree with you on something the 2007 Grand final  :-\

I actually thought we had a chance after we beat the cats at skilled stadium couple weeks before oh how wrong I was  :-\

there is no way you can compare the picks that gc got with ports, no way. gees you talk some crap ziplock.

[Ziplock]

yeah, that's why I said the examples I used for GWS weren't exactly fair, and why I wasn't going to go into GCs (not that tbag highlighted this), and why I went on to give examples from 6 other clubs, just going alphabetically through the team lists.

did you even read the second half of the post? I wasn't talking crap, I backed that up, and thought I did a really good job at it as well.
