More of a chick not a dick. Dick is more of a dick.

Intersting selections, good on Lee Spur getting a chance.

We picked Dick in the end, interesting, the only issue with him are his injuries, he can really play though. Thought Port did well in getting McCarthy, another defender for them. They certaintly need that.

Freo I believe took Dawson and Spur in the end.

Yeah i agree stan, am happy with that selection as he can swing forward if needed also.

Good pick up in my opinion. Strange they Brisbane delised him. I think the Hawks also picked up Pattinson I think? Another ruck, so basically 2 ruckmen. Something they needed and now with Hale and Bailey and these 2, they have depth in this department.

Well mate, so far you have picked up Brad Ebert, Renouf and now McCarthy. 3 players with experiance. Should be a better season for you guys next year. Adding in 3 mature bodies like that can only improve the squad.

Yeah here is hoping. Im expecting we notch up somewhere between 6-9 wins next year.

[Squids]

Apart from GWS I think Port have been the winners of the draft this year.

This year without all the speculation over guys leaving, Port should be more competitive.

So McCarthy has been training with the Tigers, i assume he has done this as he wanted to stay in Melbourne, Power grab him, can he then turn around at the end of next season and say i want to be traded back to a Melbourne club ????

Once drafted they are tied to a club for 2 years. As long as Port can meet his pay demands in their cap they have every right to pick him up.

Pick 3 (Port Adelaide) Darren Pfeiffer

The Norwoodification of Port continues...

Rohde, Phillips, Thomas....

Whena re they going to do it properly and relcoate to the Eastern Suburbs.

Dutchy think you'll find that pre season selections are only tied to the club for 1 year

Primus....

Phillips. Why did we ever pick him up? He is now taking up a spot on our list that we could have used for another rookie.

Thats what i thought, hence the reason for asking the question.

[Dutchy]

18.7 When a first year Player is first drafted by an AFL Club, that Player and the AFL
Club shall enter into a playing contract for a minimum term of two years except in
the case of a Player who has previously been drafted as a Rookie or where the
Player is over 23 years of age by 31 December in the year in which he is selected by
a Club.
