I could talk abou the fact that my mum had an accident yesterday. Got hit by a car. Police came, Wouldn't take the ambulance. Rang me, doctor came to visit. Xrays done fractured tibia or more. And now i am sitting waiting to see the orthopedic specialist.

My mum is 80

Hope she'll pull through fine mate!

Where would Steele fit in terms of ranking in our midfield, Steven the obvious first, Ross potentially second? The rest I wouldn't know what order to put them in.
Right now top 6 but what I like is that he will "grow/improve" together with Acres and Gresham so they will come through together and form a great midfield partnership along with Ross, Steven and Armo. Will be exciting to watch the next 2-3 years. Give me 2 more quality mids plus one out and out speedster and that is is gun midfield right there....

Stuv
Basti
Armo
Newnes
Gresham
Billings
Acres
Dunstan
Steele

Hard to know at this point, with the young guys anyone could explode of those last five.

Patton, Whitecross, Menzel, Gawn... some at least come back from multiple reconstructions. Clay Smith just won a flag.

How many return from Lisfrancs?
Totally agree - it's why I never wanted Jaeger.....plenty come back from ACL's and even multiple ACL's. Look at Lenny or BJ for us....

All the best

Hard to say at this stage, but I think he has as much potential as Acres. Could turn into a Josh Kennedy type and be one of our best mids IMO.

Former top 10 pick at GWS is far too good to be running around in the reserves next year.

The Dogs beating the Giants to the punch has shown that anything can happen, and if your got a skill set that stands out, waiting your turn is becoming a little detrimental to your career. This kid we all know is exactly what we need on the big stage..

The passing comment from Richo on Rioli may have manifested.
Im liking our new draftee. Carry on speaking, sir.

Port will want a first round pick for Hartlett though. Who gives up a first for Longer?
I agree, no one. Billy was initially a pick 8, who we ended up getting in with pick 48 for picks 25 and 41. He's kicked 2 goals in 43 games, I think his value is getting overrated. AFL clubs are aware that even Holmes was ahead of him at times. I know he has had concussion issues but he's seriously not growing in value. Yes talls can take awhile, but Billy isn't exactly showing he's a modern ruckman that teams want at the moment.

Off the top of my head....

James Hird
Jack Trengove
Alex Fasolo

Although, Lisfranc fractures are at times grouped with othe midfoot fractures like cuboid & navicular fractures, but are not true Lisfranc fractures

this worries me, from a port fan:
HH is my favourite player, but lets get a little perspective here. These guys (including Hamish), are paid incredibly well. Hamish was a top pick inside the top 5 of the draft. We supported him, looked after him through his formative years when he struggled with his body. He gets it together and plays some good footy in patches. He has never been consistent but has shown some real promise. I expect a player taken that high (and now paid that well) to be far more consistent than he has been. Then, according to reports, he holds a belief that he is not up to rigors of playing through the midfield regularly. I am sorry, but what a cop-out. No player is bigger than the club. Large portions of the fan base are complaining that there need to be changes (and not just the easy calls like Butch, Hoon etc), and HH is openly shopped around and people are feeling bad for him. Get a grip - this is a business, we are under performing. No player has a right to play for Port, it is a privilege. I am as disappointed as anyone else to see that Hammer will go, but it has to be done for the club to move forward and set a precedent that you cant just coast and its not an old mates club anymore.

Well if he holds a belief he can't take the rigors of playing thru the guts a bit then he can **** off.

Maybe the softy would like a wing position??


Imagine if we get no one this draft but fyfe....
I'd walk to work from the car park in me jocks and a Guernsey with my hair in a man bun

Why would Billy even come into the equation when talking about an unrestricted free agent?!

Geez that guy is just a complete **** wit
By Ralphy's logic.... WCE need a ruckman with Nic Nat and Lycett injured. Ok what's available? Longer, a young ruckman who didn't play a senior game.. What would saints need in return? Well they're after a KPD and used to be into Mitch brown 4 years ago..

Ok that'll be fair. Mitch Brown for Billy longer straight swap.

Seriously tho. Ralphy is one of the most clueless blokes goin round. Just like most of those 'experts' at the HUN
