Champion Data (CD) released their 2015 prospectus and have Port, Hawthorn and Sydney as the only sides with 16 players ranked "above average" for their position. Port have 4 "Elite" ranked, Boak, Gray, Westhoff and Wingard.
CD also noted that in 2014 they felt Port were set to be genuine contenders from 2016 on, they have noted "We need to revise that to 2015 on".
So, whilst CD are noting this of Port, many non-Port people would tend to agree that we are set up to be a genuine contender in the coming years.....BUT ( yes, it is a big but ) anything and everything can change in the blink of an eye.

My questions about them aren't about tallent but about depth in kpp. Last year bar 3 weeks Port had an excellent run with keeping their key players on the park.

Port do play a taxing brand of footy but if they get a similar run than last year with bigger bodies they will be top 2 imho which doesn't mean much...

We finished 5th, a game behind 4th, so not much outside top 4.
The issue was clearly KPP depth and there's reason to think this will be different this year. With Ryder on board, Mason Shaw developing nicely with Mitch Harvey and Jarrad Redden back on the park we have more flexibility. The issue with losing Trengove last year was Lobbe was not able to drift back and fill the hole, he was rucking alone, and if we needed to Westhoff went back and left the front half depleted.
With Ryder in the side Lobbe can drift back, Westhoff can too and there'll be less impact on the front half keeping Schulz I50 as opposed to roaming the flanks playing as the link man.
One other who comes to mind is Monfries. His year was stop start and he can play that high-half forward role to link between mid and forward. If he has a solid year, that will help us no end.

Facebook comments aren't really a reliable cross-section of supporters.
