Port Adelaide has retained dynamic midfielder Nick Stevens and 1998 club best and fairest winner Adam Kingsley on its senior list.
However, Power football operations manager Mick Moylan has indicated that Stevens will still nominate for the December pre-season draft, after he failed to cross to his chosen club of Collingwood during the recent exchange period.
However, the club has changed its position on retaining Kingsley, after they released a media release on September 25 – just five days after the Power’s preliminary final loss to Collingwood – saying that he was either going to be ‘traded or delisted’.
However, Moylan said on Friday that Kingsley was likely to gain a one-year contract for the 2004 season.
“We have spoken with Adam and said we’re going to look at re-contracting him for the coming season,” Moylan said.
“Adam has met with (senior coach) Mark Williams and (fitness coach) Andrew Russell and they have agreed to assess his situation prior to the second list lodgement on 14th November.”
“If everything is going well we expect him to still be on our list at that time.”
But as expected, Port Adelaide has officially delisted 1999 club best and fairest winner Stephen Paxman, classy forward Che Cockatoo-Collins and the club’s 1999 No.1 draftee Paul Koulouriotis.
Brent Guerra (St Kilda) and Adam Morgan (Western Bulldogs) were also both traded during the recent exchange period.
Meanwhile, the Power has retained Joel Patfull on its rookie list for 2004, while fellow rookie Scott Borlace has been delisted.
“Joel will continue as a rookie-listed player next year,” Moylan said.
