Not before his 30th birthday.If he comes good are we any risk of losing him to Geelong?

Knightmare's not convinced:
While Port Adelaide need to add to their long-term key position stocks, the selection of Oliver Lord, grandson of Alistair Lord, was a questionable decision. Lord averaged a pedestrian five disposals in 2019 and less than one mark per game and less than one goal every second game. The hope is with Lord being a high leaper and having good speed that he will develop, but without seeing his rate of improvement this year and having an early January birthday, the pick feels like a reach.

More like a reach around.Hardly a reach when almost the last player picked.
And we are Port Adelaide ... Not the Crows!He's a Primus/Boak not a Dangerfield
I watched the full game last night. Good viewing as it featured Taj & Lachie as wellAnswering my own question (partly) I found this write up from the Futures game:
Lord did not get a lot of supply playing as a key forward for Team Dal Santo but the Sandringham prospect still showed some nice things. Lord showed good athleticism and looked comfortable with ball in hand up the ground in transition showing he isn’t just a forward half player, laid a good tackle in the first quarter as well showing good aggression.
Who were you hoping we'd pick when our pick came round? Anyone else that you would have been keen on?
They have him at 83kg looks closer to 70kg. I'm willing to take on Lord and Marshall for a couple months and they can follow my normal lifestyle they'll put on 20kg each.I enjoyed the post but how does this relate to young Lord?? Don't trust the fitness staff to bulk him up?
I like his marking and the long prong arms there's something to work with.Oh and just keep in mind that Lord only played 4 TAC games last year. He would have been playing for Geelong grammar in college football so that is where they would have got a good look at him. Unlike Knightmare I like his competitiveness, but do agree he needs to find more of the ball which is why I think there is a fair chance he ends up doing a Delaney and becoming a key defender
Intriguing pick. Just haven’t seen enough of him to know where he sits. Strong mark and seems to make good decisions but haven’t seen enough of his goal kicking. He is in that group of forwards that you could throw a blanket over (Kolar, Rosman, etc).
I wonder where the club sees him; Dixon replacement at CHF or perhaps a backman with his good hands?
He's very good at telling me who has played well this year, as highlighted above he falls down in understanding trajectory and then even possible trajectory in later picksKnightmare is a terrible judge, this is good news if anything.
I love the irrelevance of picking up that a draftee is 18.9 years old rather than the regulation 18.4 years old. Bound to be a fatal flaw. (A certain amount of licence in nominating those ages, btw)

It makes a difference.
The older kids get more opportunities and development as a result of being older and better at any given time.
More of them get picked.
The younger kids are less developed, get picked less and theoretically have more scope for improvement.
The question is whether these younger kids come on of given the opportunity of whether that earlier lack of development always hinders them.
The big unknown is that we have seen none of these kids play for 12 months. Besides the combine stats, recruiters have to go off what they saw last year, and at this age, 12 months of development is huge! Often we see top-10 potentials fall away, and others come from nowhere. So the big question will be which one(s) of the top-20 fall away and become another Toumpas, and which ones come from the clouds and become the next Robbie GrayRedirect Notice
