Back 6 :
FB) Bonner Clurey Byrne-Jones
HB) Hartlett Jonas Burton
Next in line - Watts, Garner, Lienert
I think 5 of the spots here are set, Bonner the one under most pressure notably from Garner and Watts.Lienert might have to bide his time for either of the mid/tall posts. Grundy needs to get a wriggle on in his development as Georgadis might be able to play tall fwd/defence, most likely as the tall forward developing at SANFL level. Crucial to any side is ball movement and I think Hartlett and Burton are best out of the D50 delivering the ball up the ground.
Midfield :
R) Lycett Wines Houston
C) Amon Boak Duursma
Next in line - Rockliff, Drew, Atley, Mead
I don't have Rockliff in my starting midfield ( not in my side, actually ), balance looks better with only one of Wines, SPP and Rockliff in the middle mix, need to see Amon continue on his path of development, Duursma to keep doing what he does and I'm looking forward to a year of Houston in the midfield. Lycett leads the ruck, perhaps more than sharing it as I think (like) Ladhams will play a slightly different role.
Forward :
HF ) Rozee Dixon Ebert
FF ) Marshall Ladhams Gray
Next in line - Cox, Williams
The most congested for spots and frustrating line in the Port side, have under delivered in the last two years. Rozee and Gray are set, I think Dixon, without any ruck duties and back to full fitness plays the higher key forward role as I’d like to see Ladhams playing closer to goal. I don't think Westhoff plays too much time forward and Marshall isn't the lead up big man, I've got Ebert at HF as the inside mid rotation and 3rd marking option forward as well as pressure inside 50 with recruit Dylan Williams ( 185, 79kg ) ready to make an impact right away Ebert and Marshall will have some immediate pressure for spots.
Int )
Butters, small forward rotations, outside mid minutes, I50 pressure.
Westhoff, midfield rotations, tall forward option
Farrell, I've got big wraps on this kid, want to see more of him in the high half forward role
Powell-Pepper, he's not as polished as some but he showed last year he gives it all and I want that in my side
Next in line – Rockliff, Drew, Atley, Watts, Mead, Lienert, Garner, Cox, Williams
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
