Worst training regime in the league.

that many scoring shots is a good thing I guess, but some of those missed goals...wow. For those that went, was it blustery? They had no idea how to convert.
Another solid last quarter to put away some quality opposition, despite what Bruce and co were trying to make everyone believe.

this is an interesting point. Their gameplan was pretty new back then and opposition teams didnt really know how to deal with it. Extremely quick ball movement has become the norm these days, and more importantly the defensive structures to counter this have improved a lot.
dont watch port as closely as some but it seems like their defensive structures might not be top 8 standard just yet?

Missed the outside run of Wells big time, our inside game was great. Mason Wood and McKenzie look like 200 gamers and have really come on this season.
While we are losing at the moment, the draw hasn't been kind but we are still going OK I reckon, need the bye and can still have a good influence in the 2nd half I reckon.
Crows were quite impressive, but have the luxury of having their best 22 out there which is gold in mid winter.

Agreed, we have given up early picks, but would you question trading for Ryder and Dixon? At this point, no, you wouldn't. Our investment in Ryder is on hold and Dixon is showing he's been worth the investment in him.
Yes, depth is an issue, most clubs in the middle of the table will find depth an issue if it's your #1 and #2 ruckman, full forward and full back on the injury list. It's not just the number of injuries it's the positions they play that has hurt us the most.
On developing youngsters, we
haven't needed to blood too many kids because we don't have many on our list over 26. The core group is around the 25-27 age bracket with several in the 23-25 bracket, not like you need to turn over quickly with that age profile, so trading for big names is possible when you have a core that has 5-7 years in front of them.
We'll be back in the draft this year and next. If we trade it will be players for picks only.
