    Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

    Suggesting someone is easily replaced implies that you think they are at league average or worse in their role, as you have suggested there are a lot of other players out there that could contribute at the same or better level. You have also made it quite clear in your other posts in this...

    Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

    He played two games this season - one of which when the entire team was absolutely shithouse and giving him nothing to kick to vs North. What are you even talking about.

    Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

    A few select stats of a player you irrationally dislike were average during a small sample size of games where the entire team was crap. I’ll bet you were thrilled. Can finally disregard his career to date, and really focus on the last 8 or so games to justify publicly thumping your chest while...

    Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

    He’s a 2x AA while playing in the midfield, and even if you think those days are behind him he’s been exceptional since moving down back, so he’s objectively more than a dime a dozen HBF. Stop being obtuse Laurence.

    Player Watch Jack Lukosius

    He’s a 25 year old KPF (noting most KPFs take until around then to hit their straps) that’s: 1. played on shit Suns sides; and 2. been constantly moved all over the ground, preventing him from finding any real consistency in playing up forward during that time. Then in his first season at...

    Damien Hardwick also got rid of Jay Schulz at Richmond. That alone should end any suggestion that the “Luko must be shit because Hardwick got rid of him” argument has any merit.

    Player Watch Jack Lukosius

    As has been highlighted earlier in the thread, the trade of a F1 for Luko was done on the reasonable assumption that we’d be finishing around the top end of the ladder and it would’ve been a pick that landed 15+ in a draft we clearly didn’t rate. It was a reasonable gamble to get a talented KPF...

    Rubbish. The disrespect on this board from some people towards Lukosius is ridiculous. All things considered (I.e. being his first year with the club, his injury record preventing him from getting a clear run at it to build form, and playing as a KPF in the dumpster fire that was 2025 Port)...

    Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Corey Durdin

    The critique of not drafting KPDs in earlier rounds is a fair one, I agree with that - but it’s hard to argue we should’ve done better with our KPD development when pretty much all of the KPDs we’ve drafted over the last ten years have been speculative late draft picks that weren’t likely to pan...

    Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Corey Durdin

    Does it matter if we draft them? As long as they’re AA while playing for us surely that’s all that matters. I don’t think we lose out on anything by essentially skipping the 3-5 years of little to no in game production from a beanpole KPP as they fill out and get used to the role (as most KPPs...

    Recommitted Zak Butters [RFA 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

    This is such an overreaction to a terrible injury riddled year from Port. When healthy this is essentially the same squad that has consistently shown its top 4 quality (four of the last six seasons). The dogs have some quality players like Darcy (bona fide stud), Richards and Dale - but a lot...

    News NWM stays at Saints (Will Faulkner wrong about being crows bound)

    This thread has a lot of “the million page JHF thread on the Camries’ board” vibes about it at the moment, is all I’m saying. Would’ve thought we’d at least waited until a time where NWM comes out and formally requests a trade to Port, otherwise it seems very premature to be debating the...
