Speaking of Port, Daniel Hargraves was on 5AA today. Said he noticed that North train a lot longer than Port. Could explain why we run over them continuously over the last couple of years. :wink:

Doubt he will make Ports senior side. Just doesnt have it.

According to Clive and Hargs, Clive is as fit as he has been since playing AFL at the moment, with the key forward role taken away from him and getting the 2nd best defender with a chance to roam a bit more he could still be a gun this year. Still one of the quickest blokes Ive seen over first 10 metres but yes his chasing of his opponent has been a tad ordinary at times.

Time will tell Coorong. Personally i think he will not only make Ports seniors but do extremely well while he's at it.

Here's a first - I support Coorong :shock:

Batson was on Carlton's (?) Rookie List last year. Reports weren't good.

I cant believe you and coorong are getting so touchy feely.

Is it not true red that ports may have to pay westies a clearance fee as he signed for westies at the end of 2004, was drafted and because of this we get some coin from ports?????

Would be ordinary if he ever chased.

But I don't think he ever has...

Might also explain the burnout factor that many Senior North players complained about in the last 3rd of the season. Way over trained was the catch cry. It appears this year things have been substantially altered to accomodate the various players and their "quirky" needs.
