HAMISH Hartlett is expected to commit his long-term future to Port Adelaide despite keen interest from rival clubs.
With the Power managing a tight salary cap, there was suggestions the club was vulnerable to losing Hartlett as it looks to accommodate Gold Coast forward Charlie Dixon. However, Fox Footy understands the 25-year-old is weighing up a new deal that would effectively make him a one-club player.
The lucrative offer is likely to be back ended to help Port Adelaide through its cap squeeze.
Hartlett’s current two-year contract does not expire until 2016, coinciding with his restricted free agency eligibility.
Cross-town rivals Adelaide, in addition to Victorian clubs Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond, have been linked to Hartlett. However, the Demons are not considered a likely destination.

david king basically backed up what all of us have been saying here.
he says
-he has spoken to people at port, who found the reports quite bizarre
-hamish close and very keen to recommitting to the club
-no salary cap squeeze (why resign schulz to lose hartlett?)
-hamish hartlett is not a player you let go.
i believe him because i believe the club has its friends in the media who they will give inside info to because they have no agenda (king, Afl 360) or are football people who dont try to big note themselves by spreading rumours like barrett or scoops.

This rumour is getting boring. Hartlett is staying put. Looking forward to the Ollie Wines wants to go back 'home' to Melbourne rumours kicking off shortly.
Big assumption about Rooch. Check out any of his long range trade forecasts. He's pissing in the wind and hoping it's blowing at his back. Doesn't help that he's spinning round in circles.
Players get belted enough during trade week without starting our own unfounded witch hunt.
