One of the most exciting years to be a Port fan. Hinkley is gone. The Carr has started and he has brought a lot of friends with him.
MIDFIELD
For the first time in ages, there are questions but there are also great possible answers.
Butters - awesome but possibly leaving
Horne-Francis - very good has yet to show his full potential
Bergman - good but has yet to show his full potential. Hopefully his kicking is better
Wines - grizzly vet with great inside game and average outside game. Great Port Club man.
Drew - hopefully returns to form
Brodie - will put pressure on the late rotation
Watkins - backup
WINGS
A tad underwhelming but Hinkley played them horribly and hopefully the wings are off the leash
Burgoyne - I want to see more
Wehr - will he start on the other side
Mead - given chances last year and struggled
Mackinley - has the traits to be a great wingman
Lorenz - had time late last year and was uninspiring
Liddy - backup whatever line he plays on
RUCKS
Our worst position on the ground.
Sweet - reasonable. Holds the fort.
Visentini - it would be nice if he broke out
Soldo - back up. On his last legs.
KEY FORWARDS
Looking really good.
Georgiades - AA squad in a down attacking team year. 7th average for goals. Love it.
Whitlock - excellent foil for Mitch. 200cm. Marks the ball out in front. He brings huge balance to the team because he can play 2nd ruck for a quarter. Has to play.
Lukosius - third tall. Yes, he's soft but he can kick 70 metres. Perfect as the third tall. If I was Carr, I'd be diversifying his play to third tall back and full forward when Mitch is off because one of the best tall forward prospects in a long time in Douglas Cochrane is coming to town.
Lord - backup. Wasn't able to show much form last year. On his last legs.
Moss - developing
MEDIUM FORWARDS
A hodge podge. Good coaching will clear that up. With Moreas being dragged here, I feel Carr wants a lot more production from this line.
Powell-Pepper - super injured but runs hard and bashes hard
Richards - hard worker but needs more polish
Durdin - the talk is he's taking over Rioli's role
Moreas - super hard running to the half forward flank
Berry - waiting for the talent to rise
Byrne-Jones - will he stand up or slide down the list
Cochrane - a point of difference
Barrett - would love to see him come on
Anastasopoulos - backup
KEY BACKS
We won't know what we have until the games start.
Ratugolea - looked like a black and taller [PLAYERCARD]Steven May[/PLAYERCARD] for 6 games last year and rocked my world. What do we have?
Aliir - If Rat plays well then Aliir plays his natural role
Zerk-Thatcher - I think more backup but he's pretty good
Marshall - thrown a lifeline down back with massive concussion issues. Hard watch.
Ramm - the massive question. Lots of intel saying he's our [PLAYERCARD]Harris Andrews[/PLAYERCARD]. What do we have?
Walsh - backup
MEDIUM BACKS
At the moment boring but with possibilities of huge potential so I guess not that boring.
Rozee - his natural position is QB seagull. Nothing wrong with that.
Farrell - we know what we have. Great kick but soft
Jones - possibility under Carr to go up a couple of notches
Sinn - possibility under Carr to go up a couple of notches
Evans - lets get back to the great form we know you have
Lai - huge and quiet potential
I'm super excited.
Most of our top players are under 26.
A new coach.
4th and 5th year players ready to improve.
A lot of 2nd year types ready to improve.
Unknown but hopefully accountable gameplan.
Unknown player movement within the team.
A lot of players vying for positions. Always a good thing.
An easy draw.
Some real talent waiting to join the squad in the next few years.
Can we play an exciting, winning style that keeps Butters? Also Bergman?
Can we nab [PLAYERCARD]Zac Bailey[/PLAYERCARD] off FA?
I won't even mention Nasiah.
What is most exciting. The calmness of Carr. Accelerate the Carr.
