Connor Rozee

[La Dispute]

Arguably BOG tonight, and has already built into a really damaging player in his second year.

Granted he was an early draft pick, it’s not a huge stretch to suggest he will be one of the best players in the league at some point in his career. Has that rare combination of nous, speed, agility, kicking skills and x-factor.

Going to be very exciting watching him continue to develop, and Port have reason to be excited with him, Butters and Duursma all looking like becoming strong players from that draft.

Watching the Gold Coast game as good as Rozee is I can't imagine him looking more promising than Rowell.

Will be as good as C. Judd

Referring to Rowell?

I hate extreme comparisons but Rozee reminds me of a young Gary Ablett.

Has absolutely no weaknesses as a player, and is already impacting games in a big way in only his second year.

Superstar

Two very different players.

Jet.

 

[The 747]

Looks great - astute recruiting by Port.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Not only a star but super exciting to watch as well.

You have to remember that Port made the gutsy call to off load Chad Wingard in order to trade up the draft to nab him.

Was a high risk/high reward deal.

Great to see the good times back at Port, hopefully they can sustain it for all of the season, instead of falling in a heap/run out of gas in the 2nd half of the season, like they have had in a few years under Ken.

Feels like there is more substance to this year's Port (kids have built up a bigger tank for example)

I think fitness for the older guys is helping alot....

Dixon is invaluable for us too, he doesn't need to kick 5 goals to be valuable. He's such a huge target.

Port were very smart for acquiring high draft picks in the 2018 super draft. Rozee, Butters and Duursma are a great haul.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Very smart player. Has a lot of potential to be one of the games best players. Hopefully that happens

 

[Power Raid]

As good as Russell Ebert at the same stage.................he now just has to keep it up to be our greatest ever

Whatever he achieves, I just hope we enjoy him for a decade or more


Well done Conner

That trade netted us Rozee, Durrsma and Burton iirc. Ridiculous.

Better than Walsh.

 

[philthy05]

I think he can be ports first Brownlow medal winner

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I was hoping Gold Coast moved ahead of Port and got him, he'd be ridiculous in a few years surrounded by all that talent. But he'll be one of the top players in the league at Port anyway, and Ben King will be great in his own right too. What a draft class that's turning out to be. I'd prefer Lachie Neale any day, but the Lions would have done well staying with their pick also.

This shouldn't even be up for debate anymore.

Relax. Lachie Neale is the best player in the league right now. Brisbane did okay.

What do you mean relax, did you actually read the post you're quoting?

I've been saying this since about this time last year.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Port were very smart for acquiring high draft picks in the 2018 super draft. Rozee, Butters and Duursma are a great haul.

Plus the 4 from last years draft, Burton and Marshall/SPP a few seasons ago.

They’ve got the right idea.

Every young kid who looks the goods is compared to Walsh. Funny that...

Rowell has so much campaigner in him and I say that as the highest possible compliment.

He’s a legitimate young Michael Voss.
