Making an assumption that Port keeps Butters to his contract and they refuse to trade him this year...

Sometimes when there's a coach change, things initially get worse (eg transition from Longmire to Cox).

If Port finishes bottom four next year, are they possibly not matching offers and accepting a top 5 compo pick rather than negotiating for an offer of three firsts from us, which could be, say, 14, 15 and 18, or worse?

I think that's a very safe assumption. Id say it's highly unlikely they match if they finish bottom 5, they'd much prefer a top 5 pick than what we could offer them, likely a pick around 14 in 2026 before first rounders in 27and 28 that'll effectively worthless given the Tassie concessions.
 
I'm confident Sanders will keep developing.

But what I really like is how invested he looks with his team-mates, always a hand on the shoulder at huddles or pre-game warm up, looks genuinely pleased when they kick goals, also at training and club videos transiting through airports, etc. May mean nothing, but our most recent wantaway departure rarely in his past few seasons displayed as much connection and affection with team mates.
 
Cleary drives a Ford Wild track FYI,

And sleeps on blue and white bed sheets from a well known local brand...

On a separate(! 😉) note, interesting name for a "loyalty" program...

Apparently 2.3 million of them all have the same address... 370 Moorabool St, South Geelong VIC 3220. 😄😄😄
 
People have just been way too harsh on Sanders. He’s a 20yr old who is now pretty firmly entrenched in the best 22 of a likely top 8 team. That’s excellent development by any standard
If we don’t lose him to the cash….sorry go back to the thriving metropolis of Hobart - he will hit his straps and be the perfect replacement for Libba eventually - I hope we never lose Libba but Sanders has is a first possession player and still could be a star - we are too early to write people off. His improvement this year is professional and he is still a kid - more muscle and continued improvement and his trajectory along with JOD and Buss - also written off by some - is just fine.

I actually think this is way more important than people give it credit.

I’ve noticed this as well - has a lot of care for those around him, great teammate & person. Reminds me of Treloar. No wonder they seem to get along very well.

He lives with the Treloars. Couldn’t have a better role model.
