Yep and Hinkley is clearly feeling the heat and started pushing blame to the players. Can't wait, nobody eats there own like Port (or possible collingwood).

I don't actually mind port as a club so it feels weird to want them to fail but another top 10 pick would be so good for us.
Dream scenario is picks 1 and 2. Wouldn't that be sublime?

our pick 2 of course BRAB and pick 1 via ports wooden spoon?

I would prefer Ports pick 1 and the lions show a bit of improvemet and get pick 5 or 6. Finishing 13 or 14.
One can only dream.

Im on board with Pick 1 (OMG that would be sweet) from Port, but I just feel we might get a bounce next season, would be nice to get out of bottom 4
love it, picks 1 and 5 on 2 gun mids and Connor Ballenden slides to a bid at pick 6 after being rated a top 3 prospect all season

I went on their board last week and they were all up in arms about their list manger saying the trades were a win in terms of points value. I think they might want to check those calculations again.

Barlow delisted by Freo. If we had the list space I'd consider bringing him in as a DFA

Do you think an experienced, slow midfielder is really a big need for us? We are fairly experienced through the midfield.

Its not a glaring need but I do feel like our midfield has been overhyped for years now... well it'd help if we could get our full midfield on the field at the same time I guess

We have
Beams
Rockliff
Robinson
Zorko
Rich
Bastinac
Christensen
All experienced and would be ahead of him. And Stefan rucking.
We really need an experienced leader in our backline though.

its an interesting one Port. It seriously could be a top 5 pick despite them finishing 10th this season.
looking at the brackets I see next year something like
Top 6:
Bulldogs, GWS, Sydney, West Coast, Adelaide, Geelong
Next group:
Hawks, Saints, Melbourne
Possible Improvers:
Essendon, Fremantle, Gold Coast
Treading water:
Richmond, Collingwood, Port Adelaide
Probably bottom 2:
Brisbane, Carlton
Of course every year has an upside surprise and downside surprise. so hard to know. But I don't see what improvement Port has in them to move up from 10th. Meanwhile I see Melbourne, Essendon, Freo in particular who finished below them getting better.
I'm (unfortunately) big on Gold Coast having a lot of improvement in them next year... noting that O'Meara and Prestia played a combined 22 games the last 2 seasons, that they are getting back injured players like Ablett, Swallow and others, adding Hanley and Lyon, and grabbing 4 of the top 10 players in this draft.

There will be a thread started along the lines of 'Rocky is the right man' and it will be full posters saying how amazing it is that he has turned himself around.

Honestly I think being able to circlejerk on bigfooty about having picks 1,2 and 3 is greater then any single player.
Not to mention we wouldn't need to worry about Ballenden until 4... could get the top 4 kids in the country
The Port board could be in the centre of the bukake
Imagine the Lions facebook meltdown if we traded the reigning Brownlow medalist!

You'd think Hanley was the reigning Brownlow medallist reading some of the current drivel there.
