Pettigrew Looks a Champion

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pettigrew looks like a quality player. Perhaps a good matchup for Welsh this week?

PS. Was more impressed by Chaplin than last year. Has he found a yard of pace or just my imagination?

I think he has found a little. Don't see you much on here Kane.

as much as i hate to say it i reckon in Pettigrew & Chaplin (& possibly Gilham as the 3rd tall) Ports have their next generation of tall defenders sown up

Pettigrew has nice pace too - i thought he was a great pick up at draft 46 and i was annoyed that we had traded pick 45 for Scott Stevens when i saw that Grew was available

throw in Willitts plus White, (& Cornes & Tredrea are still relatively young) - it seems to me that you mob are 2 years ahead of us in the "rebuilding" stakes as well as still being premiership candidates for at least a few years

and i havent even mentioned the young smaller blokes yet

what a nightmare!

When you put it like that...you can understand why Port Adelaide Football Club has dominated South Australian footy for so long

Alan Stewart may be able to build you a new side, but there's a fair bit of dead wood to make way first

Yep, we are going to have to be patient & turnover a higher than normal amount of players (particularly those mid-age) over the next few years.

On Port's list, what do you see as the biggest weakness? The midfield?

after Josh, Roger, Peter, Kane and Dom. We have some untested kids so at the moment i would have to say yes. If we have one

Yes, but i'd say all our draft picks in the nextfew years will be used to bolster the midfield.

We still have Cornes, Cassisi, Salopek, Ebert, Thomson, Eckermann, Ezard as young midfielders, but hopefully we can use our best picks in the next few years for mifielders. Everywhere else we have covered.

Adam Thomson looks a likely type - In and under

watch out for him
