Sam Lloyd fron the Tiges anyone? BOG in their reserves VFL GF. Gets massive numbers, winscontested ball, bit of toe and good kick for goal. At 27 maybe Dimma's kids have overtaken him, but could be ok fr a couple of years?

Kicked 35 goals last year. Problem is if he did come over Hinkley would probably fall in love with him him, we already have too many tiny forwards I think.

Everyone's favourite senior football reporter Greg "Vermin" Denham has this to say about Motlop:

"Motlop toured Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast earlier this week, but he is almost certain to head to Port Adelaide in a deal hatched many weeks ago. But it depended on the Power clearing the decks to gain salary cap relief."

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spo...e/news-story/c4087443be9d696566c6203b9ba7613c

Still clinging to his bullshit claims about us being close to the cap, even when he quotes Davies saying that we finished the year significantly under.

Do we really want Watts? Seems soft as butter and not willing to work hard.
Sounds like his heart is set in staying in Victoria anyway. The least likely of the 3 deals to happen.

If it doesn't happen, what other KPFs are on the market? If none we'll go into 2018 with 1 of Frampton/Marshall up forward at AFL level and we'll draft a kid to play with Eddy, Ladhams, 1 of Frampton/Marshall in the SANFL.

Trading out Lobbe and Trengove is really going to give Frampton more of an opportunity to be 1st ruck at SANFL level or be a fwd/ruck at AFL level.

Ladhams will go from being 4th kpf/3rd ruck to 2nd or 3rd kpf/1st or 2nd ruck at SANFL level.

When the AFL introduced free agency back in 2012 I was worried that Port had more to lose than gain. Five years on the exact opposite is true. Our eligible players who we want to keep want to stay and we're now bringing in quality players from other clubs.
But we are continuously working bloody hard it though.
