I thought Polec was the missing piece....

There's no doubt he was missed last year.

Port were #1 in the comp that season for average marks I50- courtesy of the quality and speed of our outside ball movement. Polec and White were huge figures in that. No surprises that minus Polec, and injury and form re. White- our numbers dropped significantly in these statistical categories.
JK summed it up- not a top 40 player, but a hugely important link to Port's transition of the footy.

Was very much part of the fact Schulz, Westhoff and Monfries struggled at times during 2015. They had been given time and space by the run and carry Polec and White ( along with others, obviously ) created in '14 and without that quick movement from those so called "80 metre players" ( the ones around the league who can carry for 15-20 and kick 50-60 ) the Port forward line were often stop/start, out of position, mistimed leads as a result.
Not loading these guys with all that responsibility, Boak would have liked a better '15 and will handle hard tags better in the future, Hartlett might be more from the midfield instead of half back replacing Polec as well.
So a Polec, White, free'd up Boak and more F50 looking Hartlett it might just help the likes of Schulz and Dixon to take some clunks.

Be great to see more of Neade, but I suspect Toumpas might also be eyeing off that spot as well, or how about Sam Gray Sam Colqhoun or Aaron Young?JK wrote:So where does Broadbent play this year - Predominantly out of the back-half? I liked Krakeour in that sweeping type role because he's such a good kick, but also wouldnt be upset as a Port fan to see him try and fill the Monfries role. Suppose someone like Neade gets first crack at that?

Good looking lineup, even without Ryder and Monfries. Barring a savage run on the injury front, they have to be right around the money.

Savage run? Bloody hell mate if they get one injury to a key player it woulf hurt. Imagine if Lobbe went down?
Whilst its a good 22, the loss of Ryder and Monfries will hurt there depth. An area that Port has steuggled with.
