Sam Colquhoun

[Grazz]

I'm not even sure he will get a game at Port and something must clearly be wrong in his game if he didn't get picked up in the ND.

Apparently the knock on Sam was that his defensive side was lacking. Not that he's alone there...

This was explained by Phillips his coach at the time who felt responsible for people (recruiters) being cautious of his accountability
as Phillips came out and said he played him as a loose man through the finals and Sam did what was asked of him but may of lead to the assumption that he lacked accountability. Doubt Port will play him in a similar role so i think its safe to say he will be accountable for his defensive side of the game. Hope this helps alleviate some peoples question marks on him, it has for me should he be a rnd 1 starter.

Made the under 18 All Australian side in defence,so i would think port got an absolute bargain.

Yes they did GM, an early Xmas pressent for sure. Never would they of thought that someone of that calibre would be available to them still when they took him. They would of been struggling not to let a few loud Woot Woots.

Do Pittard and Colquhoun both fit in Port's best 22?

Good question.Probably yes.New coach with new ideas will give all the kids game time.My initial fear for Sam is he could be a good vest candidate.

Interesting...
Seems that Port - with their favourable draw, new coach and plethora of potential cashcows - could become one of the most highly DT relevant sides! Who would've thought that 12 months ago o_O

That Def/Mid link is very handy, lock. :D

Another bench spot sorted...nice.. ;D

Exactly! Actually this year plenty of cheap options are available for the last 3 or 4 defence positions and Port have got at least 3 that could get regular game time

Pittard, Wines, Mitchell, Colquhoun all looking the goodes!
maybe even Stevenson

I can't fit Mitchell in because they all have Round 11 bye... which isn't the best!

Ahhh flower good point, thinking could drop Mitchell and put Colq in Mids so have a DPP link to defence and maybe Van Ulden (wat eva his name is) to replace Colq in the backs :-\ saves a bit of cash and gives that link as aswell

whats your thoughts Colq on the mids bench, or are there better options??

[Football Factory]

I wouldnt worry about the byes when it comes to rooks(Mitchell) just sell him when it gets near the time, you cant miss out on the big money just because he has a round 11 bye. This depends on him getting a spot on the senior list and being named round 1 obviously. Not sure about Colquhoun still bit skinny and i would think there are others ahead of him at the moment.

hmm i'd want DEF/MID and MID/FWD Links this year...

hence why i've got Colquhoun and Goodes and Growden

At the start i dont bother with DPP i just select the best and worry about the DPP later

However i do have the F/R link with Cox in the forward line and will use a non playing F/R for the loophole

I also have a F/B link with Broughton and Staker but that just happened that way it wasnt planned
