Port Adelaide recruits

[leonidis]

that was my point! haha lets forget it and move on....seems it is a bit too complex for you!

Selection should be interesting thursday to see what youngsters get included, if any.

what do people think of Brad Murray getting vice captain after on 1 season at the club? do you think loyalty should get a run?

I see in the Advertiser liftout they mentioned Corey Grove as a gun recruit, i can vouch for this as i have seen him play last year and by the end of the season he will be knocking on Hargraves door! Sydney are expected to pick him up in next years draft as a working project for a key position forward.

any comments on the u/19s on the weekend? What you think of the youngsters Buzz?
Grove made a very impressive start, as did jack nelligan from Cummins and Luke Harder was also very good, he just needs some polish on his disposal at times, this is the part of his game he needs to work hard on as i believe if he gets that right he should be in the seniors!

i can't quite work out why port wouldn't be looking at the quality younsters to blood in some of these key positions. for instance how about young hall that's playing in the ressies he could play at either end at CHB or CHF and hold his own once given the opportunity and time to learn his craft.

until Maric gets dropped from the Awful then Hall is back in the magoos as I see he played as the 2nd ruckman

he could be the 1st ruckman when maric is out cos micklejohn is very over rated! i see hall and micklejohn had the same amount of disposals but apparently halls 2nd efforts and toughness were great and hes heaps more mobile. hall has to be given to opportunity to prove himself at this level, micklejohn has been around for years and has done little for us, hall is a player of the future and bigger future prospect than micklejohn. carr also has to be left up there and given time to prove his worth.

As a Glenelg supporter I hope they pick Hall over Micklejohn....

Hall did well but he is fourth in line for a seniors birth behind Jimmy, Maric and Danny Batson. Does look quite good though.

Jimmy has done very little for us? Um yeah, ok

He was in our best 3 players last year.

And why were a bunch of posts in this thread deleated?

Meicklejohn is also coming back from a knee injury. Hes a quality SANFL ruckman, and anyone who says he shouldnt be in the side has no idea.

[leonidis]

tragedy on the weekend with glen schreiber breaking his leg. wish him all the best and a speedy recovery. hope he gets fit and back for finals. and have a great year next year and push for senior selection.

i hope this doesn't impact on players being able to go back home during byes and putting on a spectacle for their loyal supporters in the future. as i think its great to get back home and give something back as its where we came from.

How is Lobbe going in the 2's, is he in line for a spot in the A's as another forward target or 2nd ruckman?
