The Age reckons Port have expressed interest in Liam Jones.

Would't they rather Reid from Sydney?

[Mailman the 2nd]

Reid is contracted

Carlton and Saint Kilda I think were the other two teams that had interest in him.

I think 4 names were primarily responsible for the turnaround:
Ken Hinkley
Keith Thomas
David Koch
&
Travis Boak (really did motivate the players when he elected to stay and took up the captain-ship)

Just shows how important management is to a club

5, add Darren Burgess. A key part of our surge has been the ability to run teams off their feet in the last. Gotta give this man credit where credit is due. Especially after we were dropping players in 2012 for being overweight. Credit to Alan Richardson too, I miss the bloke. :(

+1. Hats off to them all.
Keith Thomas started the process.Yes we Keith. ;D
I have now forgiven him for the 84 SANFL GF ;)

Had Boak left, no one would've blamed him, we wouldn't be booing him, we wouldn't be hating him. He was leaving a terrible club. Why he chose to stay, well, now we know. Maybe he's a psychic?

Trengove was actually the first of the free agents to say he was going to stay (inspired the other players and Boak re-signing secured them (except Pearce & Chaplin, but obviously we showed them both in finals that they made the wrong decision haha). Definitely a bargain was expected to be a top 10 pick but suffered a serious injury in the months leading up to the draft. We got him at #25 I think  :)

The way we have gone into the post season in the Hinkley era has been amazing

2012 - It was our depth

Losing both Chaplin and Pearce in the free agency was a bit of a blow as it left us quite slim down back, Brogan and Cornes both called it quits and Rodan was traded to Melbourne. Whilst long term servants in Steven Salopek and Jacob Surjan got delisted along with Mitch Banner and Simon Phillips. Along with the unexpected passing of John McCarthy.

It gave us a chance to reinvent our team by trading in Heath, Hombsch, Stevenson, Monfries and Neade whilst upgrading Tom Jonas onto our senior list. We also drafted Wines, Shaw, Clurey along with Colquhoun, Mitchell and Hoskin.

2013 - It was pace

After going down in the finals narrowly to Geelong we looked at the team saw improvent and acted on it and this time it was to eject some pace in our starting 22. In comes Jarred Polec and Matt White also drafting 3 small quick blokes in Jarman Impey, Byrne-Jones and Karl Amon to go with another key forward in Mitch Harvey. Gray, Renouf, Flynn and Russell all got rookie listed.

Blee, Salter Stewart and Matt Thomas all got delisted whilst a long term servant in Brett Ebert decided to retire

Jack Hombsch, Jake Neade, Tom Jonas, Oliver Wines, Angus Monfries, Jarred Polec, Matt White have all found themselves in our best 22 whilst Jarman Impey, Sam Gray, Kane Mitchell have all played huge roles since coming to Port Adelaide

I am really looking forward to seeing how we go about this years post season

[tbagrocks]

Dear Mr Hinkley, may we have your assistant please?

I'm sick of flowering clubs poaching our coaches!!!

CONSECUTIVE YEARS NOW!!!

I don't know whether it's a comment on our superior administrative skills off the field, or an attempt to sabotage. But either way, if the club ain't poaching Hinkley, we will always come out being the better team. Walsh better not leave, and what happened to the Crows apparent plan to get Clarkson... hahaha

[Mailman the 2nd]

Coaches come and go from every single club. It doesn't just happen to Port and certainly not the most
