Who's playing forward then? Nick Solo?
Sounds like we might go with a line up that is filled out with small to mediums?

I’m not a massive fan of CCJ but you would imagine they will persist with trying to make him and Larkey work, until it doesn’t.

Hopefully they look at someone like Sellers (Miocheck role) and play more of that hybrid forward line rather than the traditional 2 x talls.

But agree, there is some work to do, to make that forward line dangerous if Comben goes back.
 
You'd think Comben would swing as required. He'll be required back for sides like the Cats or Blues but surely think Corr, Pink and Dawson would be able to handle more mobile forward lines until Logue returns.

His fitness will get a fair workout though because I reckon he'll be used as that half back marking target link to wing on kickouts now Goldy is gone.

I think he'll be playing as full time key position defender.

I don't think we saw Robbie Tarrant go past the defensive 50 metre line after about 2015 did we?

We are drafting him?
 

Oct 18: Soldo joins Power


Port Adelaide receives:

Ivan Soldo and a third-round pick (currently No.50)

Richmond receive:

a second-round pick (currently No.41), a third-round pick (currently No.49), a future second-round pick (tied to Frem) and a future fourth-round pick (tied to PA)


Port overpaid big time for an average ruck.

it already doesnt, ccj is like a statue that just blocks larkeys leading options, and on the odd chance it comes to him he butchers it. sadly he is better in the ruck, and even then he is behind X which is a pretty modest bar height to say the least. personally i think greenwood actually rucks better atm than both of them.

How are they allowed to trade their F4 when they have traded their F1?
let em dig their hole...
 
Soldo would have been a nice pickup

But I’d take lycett or teakle for free as delisted free agents
yep good call.

Xerri and CCJ are both very average rucks and would argue Lycett is better than both and would improve us in that area.
Don't think Xerri will ever be good enough to be a first choice ruckman.

I suspect the biggest challenge will be that no-one else has Goldy's tank so with X as first ruck, someone needs to play significant minutes in the ruck while he rests. If we went with a forward line of Larkey plus some combination hybrid medium talls and smalls, then where does the chop out for X come from? You can't send your only tall defender into the ruck.
 
I am not even going to pretend I know who North is going to pick but after the draft gold we got last year, I have no problem with keeping pick 2 and 3. If we can get another Sheezel and Wardlaw combo this year, then the skies the limit.

However, the thought of getting Harley Reid in this draft is so appealing. And this is not because I know we will get a great player (as we will with pick 2 & 3) but because I know how much the opposition supporters will melt. They are already going bonkers on the priority picks we got, but can you imagine how wild they will get if we used the assistance package to nab Reid, who most supporters think is a clear number 1 pick? This is going to be so much fun waiting on the conclusion, as either way, we cannot lose.

I can’t see it working myself and agree with everything you have posted.

I just think they will give it another crack this year before totally giving up.

The CCJ trade is looking like a massive bust, but by some miracle he might come good? Stranger things have happened.
 
I ain't got a fever, I got investment properties
It'll take more than a sub-contractor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money, but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than negative gearing to get this poison out of me
And I got all the rentals, count 'em one, two, three

Oh, oh, oh, your love is like Bred medicine
Bred medicine is what I need
Oh, oh, oh, shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no realtor that can cure my disease
I like it! I was thinking something along the lines of:

My club's got a fever
Got a permanent disease
And it'll take more than a doctor
who'll prescribe thymosin b

I got lots of money
but it isn't what I need
It's gonna take more than Brad Scott to win a final at the G

First you need (that's what you get for cheating with drugs)
Then you bleed (you win a little but it's never enough)
And now you're on your knees (that's what you get for cheating with drugs)
And now we're all just playing to get bum pats and hugs

Oh oh oh, my club has got Brad medicine...
