I’m looking for the bookends…. Whitlock and Ramm

Sounds more like a spit roast.

 

[Willsy10]

Jones

 

[Scodges]

Benny Barrett, seen glimpses , reckon he’ll develop under Carr and become Rioli replacement.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Cochrane

 

[Duck Farmer]

Hinkley opens his 2026 pay packet and finds an IOU from Tredrea for $400K.

Surprise!

He has all the tools, just needs to get angrier (and fumble less)

 

[RangaInTeal]

Visintini, Drew, Marshall and/or Mead if we are going to play deep finals.

Think Stephenson coming in will add to the top end stuff, we just need to bolster our mid pack talent. Not everyone has to be the best player in the comp

We can call it the Rammlock

Very occasionally Jones plays with a real bit of mongrel. And he'll just run through 3 or 4 opponents.

Other times he just seems meek

Correct: Some of our team need to just be prepared to work harder for longer.

 

[VineValerian]

McKinley, Lai and Whitlock as younger blokes.
Sinn, Jones and Visentini as mid level experienced types.

 

[Interstater]

Butters to go supersonic after signing on for another 5 years.

I’m sorry but Jones is garbage

Will win All Australian and by year's end, the criticisms of the trade that brought him to Alberton will have faded beyond the point of recognition.

 

[MrChow]

This is my tip for surprise improvement:

Big improvers:
Whitlock
Ramm
Stephensen

Steady improvers:
Jones
Berry
Moraes


Slight improvers:
JHF
Bergman
Burgoyne
Luko
Richards
Sinn
Visentini
Wehr
Durdin
Watkins

 

[1954]

REH limiting his posts to two paragraphs using words the Pieman can understand.

 

[Chachi]

If Lai can get an opportunity at AFL level, I think he will burn.

 

[SureBuddy]

I think Wehr is going to be a great addition and dominate on the wing for us.

 

[missionpossible]

Lord will surprise us. Not sure if that'll be in a good or bad way but he will surprise us

By getting 5 touches in a game

 

[Addy23]

By getting 5 touches in a game

Maybe less

Ewan Mackinlay: A bold call to name a player with just one match to his name to date, the mid-season draftee is one to watch. In line to potentially replace retired club great Travis Boak on a wing, Mackinlay has impressed onlookers at Alberton, including new Power coaching director Andy Collins. The 22-year-old North Adelaide product’s sole match was Port’s thrilling home victory over Gold Coast in the last minor round, in what was Boak and coach Ken Hinkley’s final games for the club.

[Chachi]

We can call it the Rammlock

Apparently Ramm has grown to 205cm over the summer. He’s a unit.

 

[Scodges]

J Burgoyne to go next level.

 

[SC_Power]

Apparently Ramm has grown to 205cm over the summer. He’s a unit.

His weight is a state secret....
