Haven't they all nominated to come to play under Dave from Alberton?


I think Adelaide will enter the conversation more with Cumming

Surely Port need Cumming more than they need Lukosious

Lukosius could play the Cumming role as well as the third tall forward. Would Port want Luko as a forward or defender?

Not sure what his role will be at Port IF he lands there.
He didn't like playing the swingman role for Hardwick, how's he gonna go if Ken does the same?

I really rate this bloke, I'd give my left youknowhat to get him at the pies where he'd be placed down back as the intercept defender.

Probably one of the few I really like from Port, I think he has slowed and now is the time.

Been a warrior for the club and one of my most respected opposition players


He really needed a better conversion rate this season to stay in the game for mine, I love having him out there and he has been an amazing ambassador for the club but I don't think his value is enough to help us get to the next level, 5.17 for the season is woeful.

So you think he should move on because he didn’t kick straight? :?

Statistically a better season than last, still has something to offer IMO and still ahead of others.


Happy for Boak to get a year if it means the likes of F Evans, Jed, Narkle etc etc aren't required for those that are still on the list (Jed contracted for 1 more yr - yuck)

He's slowing down, the only role I can see on offer is a half forward flanker type, need to have the ability to kick goals if you're in the forward line.

I understand your sentiments though, our depth is a real concern.

He did pull some horrible clangers on the weekend but he's holding his own on a wing.
If he plays half a year in the twos that's your best development tool in your box right there.

2023 - Port Adelaide gets Ivan Soldo and Pick 50. Richmond gets Picks 41, 49, the Dockers’ future second-round pick and the Power’s future fourth-round pick.

Paid up big for what we thought was our new number 1 ruck as soon as things get a little tough he walks. He can f*ck off then.

Media "Houston is going to leave Port at the end of the season"

Houston "I am contracted and I absolutely love the footy club, I love being in Adelaide," Houston told Adelaide radio station 5AA on Friday.

"My focus in particular in the next five weeks is helping this team push for finals and get them in the best possible condition and do whatever I need to around the club to help them.

"I am not leaving next year.

"I am contracted, I wouldn't have signed the contract if I wasn't keen on Adelaide and keen on Port Adelaide and I love the place, I love the footy club and the footy club have been good to me
."

Port "He's leaving"

As noted above, the Chairman could learn a bit from Houston for putting the clubs final campaign ahead of his own interests.
