Port Adelaide Contracts/Trading/Drafting Discussion Thread!

[Wes Mantooth]

...and so the de fragmentation of Port Adelaide continues under the wistful masterstroke of messrs Demetriou and co.

Firstly they allowed iPrimus to become coach in order to soften the blow of inevitable change. They knew Primus couldn't coach and they knew the previous board was pedestrian. Andy D further removed the true Port identity (which many of us live to hate) by orchestrating the appointment of Keith Thomas. Andyroo is slowly moulding a cast of who, how and when he ( the AFL) declares a takeover of Port Adelaide.

wrong thread Roost.

I'm just hoping Port can secure Heath Shaw to be honest. Would be a great leader for the back line and could help in the development of Tom Jonas and speed up the development of that rookie in the back with all the hype surrounding him but has never actually played yet.

I want to see Butcher & Moore improve next year, that is my main hope for my team :) Butcher helps out Schultz and our deep forward line is covered and Moore starts gaining more uncontested possessions and while he's young the team could use him as a rebounding halfback flanker and eventually see him moved up into the midfield. But I badly want Heath Shaw to sign with us

Heath Shaw? Leader? Are you on drugs? We do not need Heath Shaw.

Do you reckon this means they won't be going as hard for Polec? Adds the outside run and speed to the side, which is also what Polec would do. Or do you think they will still chase him so they have more options?

I think long term they need Polec. He's a Kane mould who won't be around that much longer. White will slot into Wingard's position at half forward, while Chaddy will move into the midfield. Whether they get him or not I don't know. Crows will move heathen and earth to get him.

I reckon they'll still chase Polec, they're in a better position than the Crows and I don't think they wanna see him somehow land at the enemy!

Signing someone just to stop a rival team getting them always a great strategy! Man Utd signed Phil Jones AND Ashley Young because SAF heard that Liverpool were about to sign them so he swooped in and got them instead haha ;D

Eh, you can keep em :P

Just had a look at Matt White's highlights from last season and he looks fantastic. I can't wait to see him play for Port, as good as we've been we have suffered from a low goal scoring percentage since 08 (even this year our % wasn't good) and White looks like he can provide the necessary role of distributing to the forward line. Wasn't too keen on him originally but its lucky that Hinkley knows what he's doing. Can't wait to see him play, I don't think he'll be getting the rest anymore as well :) He's so quick too

I honestly reckon if we didn't start White sub in so many games he would have stayed. He was really showing form.

West Coast are also reportably interested as well now

Jared Polec has nominated Port Adelaide as his preferred destination.
