Well if you want an injury prone ruckman you can have renouf
For free
Please take him
Ah, think I might pass.
Btw good luck today. Love to see you guys get up and I reckon you are a real chance. Love the style of game Hinkley has got your team playing. Reminds me of some other team of a few years ago....

If we do trade in a quality big man and a support ruck, grab the best midfielder available - there are guys here with a good idea of who that will be at pick 19 or whatever. 
Another gun mid in the team would be frightening. A tallish Fyfe type would be nice.
Then grab a KPP and ruck, speculative mid, then another mature age ruck for the rookie list.

It'll be nice to be topping up with a gun youngster for the next few years rather than trying to find a saviour.

I reckon if we get Lowden we'll trade for second maybe third round. Midfielders: Blakely, Duggan, De Goey, Laverde For the fyfe type Tom Lamb might be similar 192cm not a kpp more of a winger/utility type with a good but inconsistent kick but he has really bad attitude not as bad as Garlett but he seems the type that wouldn't want to move interstate. Laverde x factor written all over him. De Goey is also pretty close to a fyfe type good overhead and cannot really be compared to any current player similar to wingard. Not playing style just how they are their own player only thing is himself and laverde most likely will be taken before our pick unless one slides. Blakely has impressive agility and movement but is rated as a second round prospect and duggan has a good leg and can play halfback but seems a ben Jacobs type.

I really start checking out draftees when our season is over. So in the true Port Adelaide tradition, two weeks?
If Kane Mitchell and any of our other smalls are let go...I'd like to see us secure Josh Glenn and Caleb Daniel.

Hourigan is too short, doesn't have a tank and hasn't had a great year.
I think we can probably cross Weller off the wishlist.
With Gold Coast having a compo pick tied to Geelong's finishing position they'll now have two picks before our first.

THE AFL has announced the sixth group of players that will attend the 2014 NAB AFL Draft Combine in October at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.
The Medium Defenders group comprises of 14 players including two players who have won All-Australian honours and one International from Ireland who starred earlier this year for the European Legion against the Australian Under-18 team in London.

our group of running small/ medium defenders is probably in the top 2 or 3 in the comp to be honest. they are also young and improving.
broadbent , pittard , oshea , impey and colquhoon.
im not saying i wouldnt add josh glenn to that group if he is too much value to pass up at a certain pick.
but i would not jump on him as we are strong in that area , and have certain weaknesses that should be addressed first. unless josh glenn is >>>>>>> above the next guy meh. he is only 179cm , thats fairly small as well , but he seems to have proven he has skills to make an impact , but i have questions when people reckon he could become a good midfielder , i dont see him edging out moore , newton , young who are all on the edge at the moment , when we particularly need inside clearance winners to put next to wines.

Agreed.
Our priority is ruckman, key defender, key forward.
Either by trade or draft.
Yes...do want but wouldn't offer 1st round pick.
Will we trade our way to an earlier pick? Really want Durdin in our ranks
