2019 AFL Draft club review: Port Adelaide Power
December 5, 2019 by Peter Williams
PORT Adelaide headed into the 2019 AFL National Draft with three top 20 picks, and by the time their third pick came around it was pushed back to 23 thanks to a couple of live trading deals. Building on its 2018 AFL National Draft where Port picked up a host of young stars in Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Xavier Duursma early, the 2019 draft crop looms just as exciting after adding plenty of X-factor and aerial ability to its front half, while picking up a father-son prospect with Pick 25. The Power also found value in the rookie draft, picking up an underrated defender and a second father-son prospect.

"Port Adelaide was not too concerned when it came to picking up specific needs heading into the draft, and while there was a lot of fan support to pick up a key position player or two, the Power went with the best available as well as highest upside with the first three selections."

"Similar to Bergman, Williams is more than capable of a high-flying grab but can also get it done at ground level. A forward line with him, Bergman, Georgiades and Rozee is a scary prospect for any opposition defence, and not too dissimilar to the high flying, quick medium forwards setup that Collingwood has currently."

Blues offered us 9 for 16 and 18

Melbourne offered us 10 and 28 for 12 and 18

If Geelong had taken Georgiades we would have taken Harrison Jones

Half the clubs came calling about pick 22 but Brisbane traded the hardest with us to beat other clubs' offers for pick 22.

Thank * Geelong didn't take Georgiades then.
