Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Pick #38 (2024) - Christian Moraes

[Peninsula Boy]

An amazing passage of play by the team and the Brazilian rookie.

I remember watching that little dinky kick inside and thinking, man, this kid is looking the goods.

A great intercept and one of Bergman's best kicks back to him. 12 point play.

Seems to make great decisions. Its one thing we haven't had in the team for a while. Intelligent players.

27 possies and all of them pretty much to advantage.

If you wanted to be critical, he could've looked inside and found Byrne-Jones 30 metres directly in front but hitting your best small forward is pretty good as well.

After that game, you just have to let Moraes samba out on the wing.

Definitely the highlight so far of the season. Can't wait to watch him this week against the Saints.

How about the Brazilian version of the map of Tasmania?

Ok Collingwood come along and offer Dan Houston back but they want this kid in return.

What would you say?

Is it April 1st still?

100% deal

Hahahahahahaha

I think Moreas is pretty good.

It doesn't exist.

 

[ClintEastwood]

I think Moreas is pretty good.

He's had some great moments for sure, especially being his very first two games.

We should not be topping up with players in that age bracket. It’s pointless really with the poor shape our list is in.

 

[snozulu]

Liked his attitude and his positioning as well as his willingness to run and complete.

Will be better in contests with more size which takes a couple of preseasons but will also get more attention.

Good start Brazillian man.

I love Brazilians

 

[snozulu]

All our debutantes seem to do well early in their careers. That's until they get Hinklyfied and spud it up for the rest of the time.

They get confused with their instructions just like Ken and get played in positions outside of their strengths also draining confidence.

That’s actually real. I’d happily cut Carr some slack if we really focused on developing kids for a year or [emoji638] .

See what Tasmania concessions look like.

AFL have said they want to be sure that sides at the bottom of the table don’t stay there because of the concessions?

That's the map of the bottom bit of Thailand.

 

[Long live PAFC]

They get confused with their instructions just like Ken and get played in positions outside of their strengths also draining confidence.

I wonder if Ken is good at motivating the juniors but struggles to get players to that next level. Without some erudite, strategic assistant coaches, players stall and then move on.

 

[Chrizzt]

Yeah all signs point to us rebuilding and spending a few years outside the top 8, so a no to Houston on age reasons alone

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He moves like a young Bruce Abernethy

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

So glad that at least this kid won’t be able to get “Hinkley’d”

 

[Chewy316]

Went to water a few times today when the pressure was on but he simply has to be persisted with. He's got the tools to be a long term wingman and has a much longer future at the club than some other wingman currently on the club's list.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He looks so tiny out there next to Rozee, Butters and Horne-Francis. They have years in the system but you think we would make some effort to build him up a little. Super mover.

He definitely has a future, in the right system with some good players around him I’m sure he’d have a successful career.
Fingers crossed it’s with us.

watch round 1 2019 highlights, have a look at rozee,butters duursma, specifcaly butters.

Yes I know they were all lightweights and he will get stronger over time. Doesn't make it right and it's endemic at Port. These kids are in a collision sport, they are at risk.

 

[Rash]

dont drop him for boak

Boak comes in for mead.

Moraes stays

Gotta inject the youth. Moraes offers more than Mead but you know Ken and the selection committee will drop Moraes for experience.

Nah he looked a bit fatigued, if he doesn't pull up well I'd give him a break as in a weekend off to rest up and recover rather than burn him into the ground over the course of the season.
