You know what .
Rozee NEVER starts on interchange...NEVER
14/22 from our oldest players:
Swap him for Houston than and put him in the centre square at the first bounce
Does it matter? They come on in a minute or 2 anyway.
We are two years away from being in the 8
We must be developing some decent depth because Marshall absolutely has to be best 22, and I feel that Motlop and watts are probably thereabouts too. But I struggle to find any guys to take out of the posted side here that they replace.The Power are more than happy to give youngsters a chance, as they did with Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Xavier Duursma last season. Forward Miles Bergman is an exciting prospect and should be in line for a round one debut. It was a tough call between veteran Justin Westhoff and Todd Marshall, but Westhoff's experience gave him the edge. Jack Watts will go close to unseating Joel Garner for a defensive role, while Willem Drew will be coming back from foot surgery, which opens the door for Sam Powell-Pepper to start in the side. The Power played two rucks a lot last season, but Scott Lycett plays his best as the lead ruckman and deserves first crack. – Lee Gaskin

Marshall pretty clearly in over Bergman, Butters, Ebo
I still prefer bonner to garner. Butters and ebo both play surely. Leaving Bergman out.
We need Houston, Rozee, Gray, Boak and even DBJ to get solid midfield time. Hopefully SPP can find greater consistency. But having both Wines and Rockliff is a major issue for me. Drew adding to that list. Can't hold both (or 3) in same team imo.The Power are more than happy to give youngsters a chance, as they did with Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Xavier Duursma last season.

My tip is Marshall will have a solid career at Port but replace Westhoff on the wing or be our next CHB or tall in defence. He is too nice for a key position player in the forward line.
If you look at a player like Gunston from Hawthorn, you don't have to be a mongrel. He has so many smarts but does need to use his weapons and improve his physical presence even if is just through improved timing, balance and positioning.....
