Port 2014 - Pre-Season/General Discussion

[Booney]

My concerns are still Pittard when he has the ball in hand I'm nervous he just looks like he doesn't know what to do with it and his foot skills are not great either. Also Kane Cornes I like him but he must hurt the opposition more with his disposal he needs to find more targets by foot of give the ball off.

The C7 footage of Hinkley talking to Jasper, "Defence. I need really solid defence from you and if I get that I'll put up with the other stuff"

Wingard is a dead set ripper. How was the double candy he sold. Stepped Burgoyne like he was standing still. Close to, if not the most exciting player in the comp.

He is special. At 20 years old with an AA and B&F this kids got a huge future ahead of him.

Wingard reminds me a little bit of Andrew McLeod. Not in the way they play but just that he seems like a big game player. Lifts when the team needs him, and can kick that clutch goal. Makes the whole team lift around him.

Has a punchable face though

[bennymacca]

Can't believe there was 52k there too. That's amazing. Port up and about!

Lucky that's all he got.
Is he just plain dumb or what, I don't think thats the 1st time he has done something like that.
His attempts at being a hard man are laughable.

Agreed,
Good footballer but he aint no enforcer

For those interested- Port unveiled their indigenous round jumper this afternoon. I quite like it, Freo have gone with a very similar design. Kept it simple.

[bennymacca]

I like it too

Good design IMO, nice and simple.

[Phantom Gossiper]

I like the design, but i'm a little suprised Port didn't get someone local (South Australian) to do the design.

Having said that I think Brendon's mum has done a great job!

Good design by the power. Here's a few of the other clubs Indigenous Rd guernseys http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/p ... 936?page=1

I can see merit in that PG- but I also like the idea of port keeping it in house and offering the opportunity for their indigenous contingent to do their bit. Jake Neade's mum designed last years jumper, and with Ah Chee's mum getting the opportunity this year, is a great initiative to get the families of these kids involved in the club for what is a special round for their heritage.

Agreed, great idea.. Adam Goodes mum designed the swans jumper this year...

Yeah that's fair. Either way I like the design, I just thought for Port Adelaide being a SA team and a club on the rise in this state, they may have looked to engage local community and get them on board and help create closer connections with them,

Actually quite liked some of the designs at the Power Cup, perhaps they could look at getting designs down the track from these school kids?

[bennymacca]

Some might call it a little contrived but I am a fan of these sorts of community engagement rounds.
