Port Adelaide 2017

[amber_fluid]

Hamish Hartlett would seriously have to be the most over rated and over paid player in Ports history!
He just doesn't have the ticker to play AFL, all the skills in the world but no ticker!

Sorry, who rates him?

Hamish has actually been ok this year in a new role, was outstanding vs Hawthorn the week before, obviously had an absolutely stinker vs Essendon.

His groins and hammy are tight which limits his pace a lot - at Etihad he really does get exposed. We need to be much smarter with how we manage him.

Well the club obviously did to give him a 5 year contract on good $$$$.

Thoughts on Westhoff's season to date?

Looking at his stats he seems pretty even compared to previous years, but doesn't seem to be as damaging this year.

One clear thing from the Stats is he is hardly rucking this year, no doubt due to Ryder being back, but is he playing a different role?

Hardly rucks at all, been playing on the wing, high half forward and Trengove or Dixon chop out Ryder.

Out of contract at seasons end, be surprised if we extended his tenure before the season ends. Might be a nervous September/October for him.

Season to date? About the same as all his others, offers flexibility with his height and running ability, playes 5-10 minute patches where he looks like he could be BOG, never is, then drops back in the D50 when we're under the pump to take a grab or two. He's felt like insurance his whole career, you know deep down inside you need it but sort of wonder why you have it at other times.

Based on that and the clubs track record, I suspect a 5 year contract will be tabled too him!

Only ever been one.

Also theres not 1 player that comes to mind that i'd be confident of kicking for once more than 25m out.

I've always felt Dixon is a pretty reliable shot on goal - he's had some stinkers of course like others (Saturday for instance), but generally if he's having a shot on goal i expect him to kick it.

*Edit*

2011 - 6.4
2012 - 4.6
2013 - 19.7
2014 - 24.9
2015 - 41.15
2016 - 30.16
2017 - 24.16

I don't think that's all that bad, especially 2014/2015. Interestingly, the most behinds he's kicked in a game is only 3 as well.

It'll be interesting when he gets to 30 goals as he struggles to count that high

already has to take his shoes off to go past 10

?
Hartlett and Lobbe were both year 5 year deals weren't they?
And Jonas extended a contract to 5 from memory?

I bet he knows more about getting to 600,000 than you two ever will.

Lobbe was a 4 year deal, Jonas a 3 year extension.

And good on him for negotiating it.
I just read Lobbe is contracted until the end of 2019.

Well played Matthew, well played!

He'll be working in an off field role in 2019.

He'll be working in an off field role in 2019.

Off Adelaide Oval's field?

He'll find himself to the West Coast by then anyway.

Just googled it and you're correct sir.
Lobbe will play about 20 games if lucky for his $2.5 million though.
