... JhF is the closest thing to Danger since.. Danger.

Not sure how you could on one hand say Izak has X factor, JHF hasnt, and then say Danger has it and JHF doesn't.
Danger is comfortably the best inside ball winner I've seen. His ability to enter a contest heading for a ball up and come out free with ball in hand is second to none.
 
Doubt his contract would sit well if it sounds like good $ (didn’t he confirm money was a big part of his decision) with no/minimal behavioral clauses
Money is a big part for any player. I wouldn't be against taking Rioli as long as he's on no more than 450-500k. It would also have the added bonus of pissing off Powaa. Depends where they see Rankine or Rachele playing. If it's midfield then Rioli would be good up forward. I've always rated him at West coast and wished the crows took him when he was here in the SANFL.

Why would we chase Rankine after Drafting Rachelle .....if both were going to be small fwds .....that's a lot of Draft Capital in 2 years

Rankine a dead cert to play midfield, tear opposition mids a new one .....and free up teammates, not to mention, he'll be the best FWD 50 deliverer in our team

I don't see our midfield as poor ....it seems to be getting defined by the absense of a big bodied mid ......but did RICH win flags with a big bodied mid ??
I suspect that both players will split their time between midfield and the forward line. It should be exciting

It's what he does with it after he gets it that's the problem. If he could kick he would be up there with the greats of the game.

Port have the Amon compensation pick which gives them a better draft hand, unless there’s someone really specific that North want who is likely to be there at 6, who won’t be there at 9, I don’t see North preferring a deal we could put up.
They also have Rioli to pay for, so that compo pick doesn't really add any net value. WC might want more than that as well.

Was actually surprised by that analysis by Rooch.
Why, he's right, it's definitely a scattergun approach by Powa, 1st it was Dunkley, then Rioli, when Dunkley gave them the ass they moved on to Jack Graham, then when JHF became available late in the piece Jack Graham got the ass....then a few clubs start inquiring about Ratugolea so Powa decide yeah let's have a go for him too. Maybe another player pops up as available in the last few days of trade week so no doubt Powa will be keen there too.

you forgot about junior rioli too

They’re definitely keen to improve their midfield.
 
While I complain about our approach at least we target players and lock them in

As noted it seems Ports recruiting dept are sitting back until August then ringing managers

That gives the impression of scattered

The Pear are desperate

They are aging and Kochs time is running out. Hinkley must make top 4 or will be gone.

Heard an interesting interview friday where they were saying Ken would make a great neil balme type role. that makes sense to me - just not us...
 

Who is Miles Pfitzner as he is clueless when even Rooch is making more sense.

Port are struggling to land all 3 players & will need to give up a decent player to make it happen as don't have the draft capital.

I doubt they will land all 3 players whilst I'm confident we will land Rankine.

I know he's right, that's why I didn't expect it from him.

Looks like he covers horse racing for SEN.

We clearly have planned from a long way out.

Port appear to be leaving it to the last minute, jumping from deal to deal, with none near to being locked in.

Didn't do themselves any favours by wooing Graham, to change their mind when JHF became available. Likely to be the same with some of their remaining 3 targets too.

Will be interesting to hear player managers thoughts on Port's approach...
