No doubt Ports best will see them push hard for the flag but their depth is an issue especially around kpp's. This is an area that Hawthorn, Sydney and even Freo when you look @ their injury list this year do so well.
Our kpp's are just fine. We lost both our key defenders at the same time, we would never run with another defender like Trengove or Carlile you also wouldn't be able to keep a player of their quality sitting in the wings waiting for a game. Rucks we were unlucky that our 2 backups had knee injuries and were out for most of the year. I'd be very surprised if any team had 4 genuine ruck man on their list, we also had players like trengove and whestoff that could help out when needed. Our forwards is looking very strong with Paddy lets whestoff move up the ground where he plays his best footy, plus we have the like of wingard, gray and neade doing the crumbing. Our midfield is young and fit and improving each week they play and have shown they can take it up to the top players in the league. I'm more then happy with the quality of our list and I think this year you'll see just how quality it is.
Yep nothing short of a flag will be a failure, starting to smell a bit like 2001/02/03 down at Alberton
