I thought Port were supposed to be honouring 2004, not 2007

Here’s the old dad joke:
Why wouldn’t you let the Roos take your dog for a walk?
Cos they can’t hold a lead.
At least the lions can hold a lead.

Port. What the actual ****.
Have they had a half dozen ingame injuries or something??
And this is at THEIR home ground??
WTF is happening.

Eh, who among us hasn't been destroyed by the Lions in Adelaide? It's a long way from home, real unfamiliar ground, and they will often tear us apart. Wait,
It's what shits me about him and the constant fawning over him.
Yes, he's good. But the non efforts without the ball never seem to be called.

Ball passes inside the goal post by a metre.

Good job Laura.

Time to request a trade? Absolute definition of front runner. What goes up must come down.
Note * regardless would still take
wardlaw if the 2 were in front of me.

Not sure if O Wines is uncontracted for next year but we'd better not go anywhere near him.

I saw this early on and was trying to convince myself that it would be coached out of him.
As soon as I saw a quarter of Wardlaw intensity, I knew that we had won that trade.

Port getting destroyed at home on a nice day, no injuries and I think they were the favourites, 79 points, 79 points!
You'd think that's a coach killer but you know the more I think about it, Kenny's going alright, and so is Kochie, in fact wouldn't it be so good if Port do the right thing for the fans and give them extensions for another three years!

Looking at the Port game from the perspective of the Port list build, I reckon it makes an interesting study of strategy (and strategic mistakes).
If you looked at the first half of the current Port list build, they brained it in the 2018 draft with Rozee, Butters and Durrsma, thanks in large part to North's naivety in giving up a top 1o pick for Polec.
It's the second half of their build that's the problem. Basically they traded out of TWO drafts, to get 2 players, JHF and Willie Rioli.
While both have been (mostly) good, the problem has been that when obvious holes appear in the list in the back six, they haven't had the draft capital to fill them with proven quality, and instead have had to (a) trade one reasonable young player (Duursma) for an average young player (Zerk thatcher) and (b) hit the RFA market (Ratugolea)
But with that latter, the recruiting club is vulnerable to paying over the market to get the player to move, and Ratugoles proves a lesser footballer than he was when he was playing alongside Tom Stewart.
The lesson for me is that you need to "win" multiple drafts - just one (like port in 2018) is not enough. In our situation that means it's so important that McKercher and Duursma match the quality of Sheezel and Wardlaw.
And the point also applies this year - with another high draft pick, the priority has to be quality. Position doesn't matter, we can tackle that later - take the best player regardless of position at whatever pick we have
