[Power freak 2008]

Can anybody put up the article about who's burning up the track. Apparently Moraes looking good.

Also we need one showing who is looking ripped! It aint a preseason until we have those.

I went over the highlights again.

He doesn't have the traditional midfield speed, the boot or the clearance work but he cares, is a massive runner, is excellent with link up play and has a very good footy IQ.

I think he use to play basketball and he has a bit of that point guard, distributor way about him that would actually really complement our guns in the midfield and get them the ball in the right places and help with one twos and general flow on offence.

I would love him to get some muscle on him and really attack the clearance part of his game and run hard defensively as well.

A very interesting watch.

Yep
Jason Kidd vibes

From the Crowtiser:

Port Adelaide Track watch: Draftee Christian Moraes a standout​

The story of Port Adelaide training so far might be a kid that’s only been there a few days.

Synopsis of comments on Moraes:
"It is very early, but Port Adelaide might have found a draft gem....
Discussed as a potential top-10 — or even top-five — pick at the start of the year, there was a fair bit of surprise that the Eastern Ranges’ running machine slid to where he did....
Other clubs could end up coming to rue overlooking him in the future....
On top of his tank, Moraes had plenty of impressive moments both by hand and by foot ...
Particularly impressive was some of his work in traffic in the Power’s small sided match-play drills....

The story of Port Adelaide's Hamish Hartlett, how he's confident in his body after an interrupted 2024 and ready to add a unique dynamic to the 2025 midfield look

Having the engine Christiano has made him a big chance to play possibly from day 1, but if he's showing skills and tricks too, watch out.

Reminds me of Tom Cruise

The northern territory mailman?

He asked for 13 but they gave him 31? Christian ‘Fly’ Moraes?

i didnt even catch that, good reference

I have been watching YouTube videos of Moraes and geeez he has very bad skills and decision making. He gets alot of the ball wins clearances and kicks goals, but turns it over with a majority of his disposals. I also didn't like the footage of Xavier Duursma so I am very happy to be proven wrong

Even has the same worried look on his face & close enough last name

Anyone know what happened to him on Friday?

He was busted open but there was no replay of what happened or further mention of it on commentary.

Commentators had no idea how to pronounce his name on Friday night. It was cringe to hear.
