Port Adelaide Players

[bulldogtragic]

Williams was ice cold when he said he needed new players, but honest. The journo's are all saying the player cull will be deep and a re-build is on. So there could be a high turnover of players including trading out/up.

With that in mind, does Port have anyone we should be looking at (who they would trade, obviously young talents like Krakour will not be on the table), but who aren't duds or has-beens or never-weres ? If so, what are you willing to part witgh to get them into the red, white and blue next year and what will they add which we need?

Funny you mention Krakour, as he’s the only one I want.

Hopefully he stagnates over the next 12 months playing under a guy who clearly doesn’t like the group he’s stuck with – then we can make a big play when his value is low.

To be honest, though, it’s probably best to steer clear of Port Adelaide players altogether – they’re one the flakiest bunch of footballers ever assembled, rivaling Richmond in the mentally weak stakes. That sort of damage might be tough to un do.

I reckon Clayton & the Gold Coast might make a big play for him as well, had we not taken Aker, we would have taken Krakour with our second pick, in fact i'm pretty sure Clayton was really tempted to take him with our first pick that year, and the GC will have plenty of picks to use as bait.

Re: Port Adelaide Players

Depending on their value.

I've always liked Rodan and Chad Cornes, however obviously age and injuries are the concern there.

Re: Port Adelaide Players

Hartlett is the one we would want but they're not going to give either him or Krakour away unless for big stakes.

Port are not that bad actually, just suffering from the services of the fitness guru we had. They are now clearly the least fit side in the competition

They will be prepared to give away Peter Burgoyne (just a tad younger than me) and Pearce who has never had a contested possession in his life

Well, we will need a replacement for Eagleton

Re: Port Adelaide Players

Salopek, Boak, Gray, Krakouer, Logan and Pettigrew are the Power players i would be happy to pick up. If Lake leaves i would look at either Carlile or Chaplin aswell.

Re: Port Adelaide Players

J.Westhoff? Ebert?

If they put em out there clubs will bite.

Re: Port Adelaide Players

We were seriously considering picking up Krakour with our first pick but decided to go with Everitt instead. Port ended up getting him with pick 39, our next pick was 45 (we picked up Stack) as a result of the Aker deal.

Another ultra thin beanpole tall forward? No thanks, we have a few developing.

AS much as Ebert has been in poor form, i couldn't see them trading him off.

Eagle is way tougher than Pearce. If Pearce had Eagle's heart murmers he would never have played on. Something Eagle gets next to no credit for but one of the braver injuries to overcome.

Pearce = J McMahon MKII.

Yeah wasn't suggesting for our side..you cant structure your forward line around someone who is that, a beanpole..and cant see him putting the weight on anytime soon.

Re: Port Adelaide Players

Shaun Burgoyne is the man we want. Top 10 mid-fielder in the comp when fit and motivated
Imagine him on one wing and Griff on the other for the next 8-10 years.

Shaun Burgoyne will be 26 years old in a couple of months, so I reckon he's got 5 or 6 seasons left at most. Definitely worth looking at, dependent upon what he would cost of course.
