Port Adelaide 2017

[morell]

Ahhh no.

Still don't have a strong forward line structure and significant game plan issues need to be addressed.

But I fully expect to be making the finals again with the squad we've assembled.

[carey]

so... Ports to lose then??
No one else could possibly get close. One and a half games off top this year, surely the minor premiership is now a fait accompli and then its just that 3-4 year waiting period for a prelim win.

Even for you this is a poor attempt, very poor.

So you and the club dont expect to be at least 1 and a half games better off with the three aquisitons? Why bother trading then if you dont think it will improve your list

2017 was the most even season in living memory. We could improve as a club and team and miss the 8!

That sound like excuses being trotted out already to me

It can sound like Swedish models farting Beethoven's 5th through a walkie talkie for all I care. It's the truth.

Interesting that other clubs in the premiership window weren't chasing Rocky or Motlop,....read into that what you will. Motlop did not finish in top 10 of GFC's B&F.

**** knows.

Perhaps be more precise with your language. You clearly said no other clubs, and you were clearly wrong.

You're allowed to be wrong or make a mistake. Happens to the best of us.

Im sure Kochy will let one slip before the start of the season that he expects nothing less than a premiership next year.
See how Kenny handles the heat then because up until now he has been seen running from the kitchen

Motlop is lazy as shit. **** knows why the Adelaide teams were so keen.

Only 1 really was but don't tell power supporters as they believe everything

So Motlop being invited to tour Adelaide's Clubrooms and facilities was #fakenews was it?

C'mon now. The Crows were keen, Motlop less so, don't be salty.

Yet averages 20 and 2, imagine if he pulls his finger out!

What is this 20 and 2 you keep mentioning?

[morell]

20 disposals and 2 shots on goals a game. its more like 18 and 2 before some pedant chimes in.

For reference, in 2017:

Toby Green is 18 and 3.9
Robbie Gray is 19 and 3.3

they're the two best players in the AFL for his role.

Yes, does go missing yes, can be lazy, yes, very handy pickup nonetheless

[Brodlach]

Averages 1.3 goals, 2 tackles and 18 disposals a game

He would have averaged a goal a game this year, maybe 20 possessions but a lot of them are rubbish nothing possessions. He's a handy pick up for port though as he does provide some needed outside run and the big deck at adelaide oval will suit him. Hopefully he gets himself fully fit and doesn't infuriate you as much as he did us cats supporters. At his best he's very good but only showed it once every 6 weeks, still a big upgrade over Neade though.

One question I have with port now though is where is the forward line pressure coming from other then Dixon? Motlop, wingard and gray are all brilliant at getting the footy but not so good at the pressure acts. Boak isn't bad at forward line pressure but he's pretty slow and easy to get away from.
