smart pick up, welcome to the club. plenty of key defenders have made it after being delisted and given second chances. hopefully his knees can stay healthy and he can make his way into our team, as well as trent has done the last two years we still require an athletic big man to go with the big boys of the comp.

Well I guess he is taller than most of our defenders if not all (because I really can‘t be fussed actually looking it up!). Time will tell if he can add value.
 
I never saw that coming, clearly the people in charge at Port understand the rules better than I do! But that's a good thing. :D

That out of the way, Skinner looks a good get, played some impressive games for South this year and gives us that big powerful mobile defender we need.

We needed 1 of Sam Skinner or Leek Alleer at the club to fill the gap left by Goldsack and Lienert.

So we've got Aliir, Jonas, McKenzie, Clurey, Skinner and Pasini which is probably good enough in that area.

Looks like a Dougal Howard type player.

Played some great footy for South with a playing style that can definitely transfer to AFL level. Good pick up.
