Homesickness is the biggest crock of shit going when we are talking about Victorians in Adelaide. It is a seven hour drive or a one hour flight FFS. The real story is this...stay in Adelaide which will reduce your post football opportunities or go back home to Victoria where there are more clubs and more opportunities once your career is over.
Right now Tom Harley is the smooth bald head of Swiss Ultravite or whatever it's called and now he's got a nice old gig on Seven as well. If he stayed a Port player the most he could have hoped for is a spot on 5aa and maybe a sports gig on one the news stations.

Can't help but think Gunston's departure was a set-up however Tom Harley was traded to Geelong after spending the majority of his 2 years at the power playing for Norwood reserves. I would say Harley's move was more targeted at a life in football rather than a life after it.

Keen to see Kerridge, Jenkins, Lyons, Shaw go as well as how Johnston/Lynch fit into the side
McINtyre could be a bolter should Porpas and/or KNights get injured

I'm not sure, he's done some good things this pre-season but so have many others. I would say the side that lines up for the final this weekend will be very close to the R1 side, so keep an eye that.

Brenton Sanderson, very, very good coach. Malcolm who?

Top 4?? We're a shoe in for the flag now. It's pretty obvious, all of our players are guns/legends/superstars. You know it.![]()
I'm keeping the lid on personally. My expectation is that Adelaide will be an early bolter but will drop off the pace a la Essendon 2011.
The enthusiasm will bring early wins but I don't think the experience or depth is there for sustained success just yet.
