A good draft given our late picks. We addressed our aging defence with McCallam, third tall who will be ready to play pretty soon and Marshall a skilled and athletic tall defender who will take a couple years to get up to size. Scully is our Max King type who could be ready to replace Dixon in a year or two.
 
Hats off to our recruiting team, I think they did exceptionally well given our average draft hand. We took 3 players with a combined height average equating to 199cm, including a KPD.

McCallum has a bit of Jeremy Howe/Tom Stewart vibe about him, exciting prospect.

Can’t believe how nimble Thomas Scully given his height. Still raw, but a lot to work with.

Don’t know much about Marshall other then he’s quite athletic & plays a genuine KPD role, that will do me.
 
So Macca as someone who knows something about the draft are you happy with our haul?

Yes. McCallum a long term Jonas replacement. Scully is as good a speculative KPF as youll ever get. Marshall plenty of potential.

Smart picks and as good as we could hope for with the picks we had
 
Todd, Mitch, finlayson

With

Lord, Scully, teakle and Dante is as good depth in talls that can go forward as I’ve ever seen this club have.

Tredrea, Chad Cornes, Lockwood, Thurstans + Primus, Lade, Brogan, French, Ackland = still the clubhouse leader, but you can never have too many ♥️

Check out the height here.

KPF: T.Marshall, Dixon, Georgiades, Teakle, Lord, Scully
Ruck: Lycett, Finlayson, Hayes, Visentini
KPD: Aliir, Jonas, Clurey, McKenzie, Pasini, McCallum, K.Marshall

Good luck to Corcoran and Weidemann getting a game now at either side of the ground in the SANFL.
 
I know a few posters have mentioned it but you do get the feeling that Lord is going to be tried as a back in 2023 and if that doesn’t work out he will be on shaky ground
 
Truly amazing. I've watched him since he was a 9 year as he played with my son. First couple of years he couldn't mark to save his life, but was always great at getting the ground ball. Played like a small even when a being a giant amongst the other kids. Lost track of him when he started playing for westies. Big Port fan. Good to hear he ironed out the marking..

How rapt is he going to be? Port fan, getting to Port with a late pick. Great footy story.

I reckon McCallum is more athletic than Jonas ever was

Well… I love the excitement, but….

- Teakle is a ruck… Lord is being played at CHB and Scully is a teenager
  • Hayes tried but not proven and Visentini needs some time to develop
  • Pasini will hopefully return strongly from his ACL, whilst McCallum and Marshall have just been drafted.

Yes, it’s tall depth…. But Port wouldn’t want to be in a key position injury hole next year.

But the Magpies will actually have some structure… at last
 
Look I can't stand Hinkley either but it's very possible for us to bounce back into finals next year the comp isn't that deep & I'd rather not go in with an undersized defence.
Just like we bounced back from prelim humiliation?

Or did I hallucinate us pissing away another consecutive season
 
Doesn't cat b not be classed on the list? It's like a free kick?

Yes that's how we get Barkla. 2 allowed as CatB outside the main and rookie list.

We'll have 37 and 5 after we draft Williams. That's us maxed out at 42. Then Barkla is a freebie.
 
The last time we did the KPD/KPF combo with latish picks it was Mason Shaw and Logan Austin combo.

The both showed promise but went nowhere.

Hopefully this combo works better.
