Leading goalkicker eyes off next Power move
He burst on to the AFL landscape as a dynamic attacking weapon, but Port Adelaide young gun Connor Rozee is eager to continue the next step in his development as a pacy midfielder

But after showcasing his skill as a dangerous half-forward, Rozee will use this pre-season to help prepare for a shift into an onball role.
"Hopefully as the year progresses I can push into the midfield a little bit more," Rozee told reporters on Monday.
"Endurance is probably the main thing I want to improve, especially if I'm looking to move into the midfield.
"Hopefully keep building that and maybe put on a few more kilos as well will help me move into the midfield."
Rozee was one of nine Power youngsters, along with Zak Butters, Xavier Duursma, Powell-Pepper, Dan Houston, Riley Bonner, Riley Grundy, Jake Patmore and Tobin Cox, who began pre-season training at Alberton Oval on Monday.
Four-time All-Australian Robbie Gray and experienced utility Jack Watts, who is on the comeback trail from a badly broken leg, were also on the track.
Another notable face was Taj Schofield, a highly rated 17-year-old prospect eligible to be taken as a father-son selection in next year's draft.
Power players who were involved in the club's SANFL finals campaign will return to training with the rest of the squad on November 18.
