Thanks to Lore for the draft tracker.

Wrong chap.

I reckon the game has changed. All the good sides have more fit, faster, players who can make space, and good players on the outside and up forward, who can convert.

Geelong, Hawks, Collingwood, even Adelaide this year. All good at transition. And the game is becoming more about team plays to make space, and convert like soccer and basketball.

This differs to defensive press, contested somewhat chaos game, the Brisbane, Carlton, Port Adelaide styles. Brisbane can still do it, cause their list is stacked.

it’s all about ground ball, transition and breaking even at stoppage. If the AFL goes to ‘no throw ins’ at boundary, it will go even further this way.

It’s kind of bruise free footy. Less tiring through hits and more running patterns and plays.

Anyway rant over. Would love Bailey.

Footy will eventually go the way of Champion Data.

It will be like watching the homogenized 3 point fest of the NBA.

I think there is a massive chance that we live trade these 3 draft picks into 2026 and 2027. I actually think that the picks will get upgraded due to points matching and we could end up with multiple picks in 2026/27 so we can match for Dougie and and maybe 2027 for Pilot/ Salopek and others

Semantics, and I am not 100% sure how it works but, if we have 3 list spots open hypothetically going into the draft, and want to trade all of these on the night, then I believe we'll be left with no picks to do the rookie elevation as the Round 5 and 6 picks that are allocated prior to draft night are done based on list spots (I believe).

So I'd say there's a greater chance we give these away pre-draft night so we can get free ones in the back end to get our rookie elevations done and call it a night?

Pick 24 would be in play for Rogers imo, if the interest is genuine.

As I understand it we can get as many picks as we want at the end of the draft to use on rookie upgrades or we can leave list spots open for DFA. I'd say the only reason we could get Rogers is that Gold Coast are desperate for more points which hopefully means we could drive a hard bargain.

Rogers and GC 2026 3rd Round for Pick 24 would be nice.

I am not very sure about this part (not saying I know how it works), but as I understand it, the AFL won't give out free picks at the end on draft nights for rookie elevations if we have list spots. It gets done before draft night.

 

[Port2Power]

Even if we use picks 24, 42 and 60 in trading for a player or swapping it for future picks in the 2026/27 drafts.

We still have our remaining 5th, 6th and 7th round picks.

Picks 78, 96, 114 which will obviously come back in a lot further after bid matchings and skipping picks.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

As long as Port gets Latrelle Sumner Pickett, they can opt out of this draft and focus on the draft next year and the year after.

Is he that good? I have only seen footage from his first SANFL game and although he kicked four, two were from the goal square by himself on the end of a passage of play. I'm interested in how he really goes and why he's at the top of your wishlist.

Rogers and GC 2026 3rd Round for Pick 24 would be nice.

If Gold Coast plays finals against in 2026, their third round pick is going to be in the 46-54 range. Pick 46 is worth 134 points. And pick 54 is the last pick with any value.

If I was getting third round picks in 2026, Gold Coast would not be a club I'd be looking to take them from. I'd be wanting Gold Coasts 2026 second round pick if trading for points next year.

Has a bit of x-factor and goal sense which Port doesn’t have a lot of at the moment.

Looks like Josh Murphy ended up with 64 goals from 15 games in the Ovens league. Also played a few games for Collingwood's VFL team. Get him on the rookie list I reckon.

Would do that over Stephenson

VFL stats don't look uber impressive

VFL stats don't look uber impressive

Yeah, I watched him in one of the games. He was quiet, but I don't know if that was because he got plonked into a new team and hadn't gotten a chance to mesh with them yet? I think he's worth a punt.

As I get confused with all the drafting & trading deals that happen each year and I’m not sure this is the correct thread to use, so in my humble opinion Jack Watkins certainly deserves to end up on the Power list at the end of this year. He’s a ball magnet!
Just my opinion

Ovens league prime Hinkley recruiting ground.

Ovens league prime Hinkley recruiting ground.

Who's Hinkley? Is he the guy who shot President Reagan?

'Who's Hinkley' - sounds like a board game to be released for Christmas.

Can you see Kenny reading The Catcher in the Rye?

What role do you see him playing at AFL level? And what are his AFL level attributes in that role?

 

[jac147]

Role 1 the Power engine room and role 2 assisting in the retention of his best mate Zac, thereby making Zac a one team player for the rest of his AFL career - it’s what every Port fan wants.

Looks like an SANFL version of Boak to me.

Do these guys need companion ponies these days. The fluffers of the AFL.
