True,but you're standing on the outside looking in. :(
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Port have alot of room for improvement & they've lost games to Centrals 20pts, South 3pts & North 2pts.
They havn't copped a hiding, maybe from Ginever, yes. If they can improve alot on their goalkicking & make more of their opportunities when inside 50, also don't give away silly frees in the back 50 that results in goals, they may start climbing the ladder with more wins.

You need a fit Waterhouse back & someone to hold down CHF & not Ahchee, he needs to go down back, he's the best backman in the league.
Yes theres alot of talent to come back, i can see that. They have to find form.

He looks alright on the track at the moment, Waterhouse, looks to be training at full pace.
Ginivers only move, Achee from the back lines to the forward, you cant take that away from him?

Could be a good option, he has been taking some marks and once Micklejohn comes back in , he can ruck with Maric.

Corey will play well anywhere he's positioned on the ground, i really do think he's the best backmen & maybe, maybe if he stayed put down back, he may of stopped opposition sides kicking their winning scores in the last 3 weeks, just an opinion.
As for Batson pafc1870, his height would be difficult to match up with & no doubt worth a crack, they'd want to start with it sooner than later as time may run out.
