Taylor Hunt was flying until he hurt his shoulder but he is no run with player so he might get a shot instead of Corey with GHS to be groomed as a run with player. None of these blokes are big names but they might come through as a group which worked pretty well for us last time. Even if they are only a third as good as their illustrious predecessors then we still win one more flag.

Ruck stocks an issue?

Boon I think the cats are ok for ruck stocks. They have Vardy, Simpson, West and young Blivacs. If Macintosh ever gets up and running you would say they are ok.

As always. Simpson looks the goods if we can keep him on the park and hopefully we can get some value out of McIntosh next season.

He has said nothing like that.
He will announce he wants to be traded to Adelaide next week. But if deal can't get done. Crows will get him for nothing in the pre season draft
..apparently not.

Has played a hand full of games in a few years at a club that can't make the 8. Hype indeed ; Hyperbole that is.

Definitely over-hyped, but we can probably thank the Adelaide media (5AA, and Rucci) for that.

Probably not even worth pick 30.

In fairness Stan he has had his career curtailed by injury (ACL 1 or 2 years ago IIRC). If fit could prove very useful to Port (or adelaide) as an outside ball winner- a very good user by foot.

A little undecided if this is good or not,but.....:
-We have a sound young list with lots of inside mids (Boak, Wines, Ebert, Moore, )
- Our list has enough 19-22 year olds coming through, taking a kid at pick 30 (lets face it, a raffle) isn't going to help us right away
- We need some polish on the outside
- If Polec can establish himself in our line-up as an outside mid/goal kicker who has had 3 years in the system then tha MIGHT be better than anything you get with pick 30 (+/-)
- Then again, you might get a diamond in the rough at 30 who ends up being a 10 year 200 gamer.
- Polec might be a 10 year 200 gamer.
If we get him for the right price, early second round pick, why not go for it?

still might from what reports on the news say. They'll trade him to whoever they can get the best value, whether that be Port or anyone.

Good comment by rockliff on twitter. Basically saying might want to do something before choosing which team he wants to go, and probably won't get a game anyway.
