I'm not sure Shaw
is ready either.
He missed a big portion of last year, missed alot of the pre-season and has only just got up and running, being competitive at SANFL level. His time will come and no need to throw him in it right now IMO.
On the flip side, Butcher doesn't deserve his spot but it may be a case of now or never for Butch. Here's your chance, take it or we'll have to make the call on you.
Having said that and knowing Port are really keen on Scotty Lycett from the Eagles, he must be chased hard.
A bloke I don't rate much might also help us while Shaw and Harvey build themselves to AFL level, Jarrod Waite, could he be worth a two year deal? Carlton will almost certainly move him on at years end, he would be relatively cheap as he won't get inundated with offers and he'd know he'd be a chance ot play finals football at Port.
As I said, I don't really rate him but Schulz and Westhoff would make Waite the third tall and not the first one taking the best defender.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
