I may be wrong, but with our midfield not the greatest in the land, I can see these kids getting a go in there next year, and I don't think they would let anyone down.
Yeah I agree, we have done very well although my only concern is that none are from SA. May get burned later when they decide to go home?
There's always a chance of that, but I think a lot of that comes with the culture of the club. I may be wrong but I can see Port rapidly improving in
2012.
In 2011 I think they will be competitive and finish 6th-9th, hopefully our injury prone budding players like Gray, Hartlett, Surjan etc can stay sound & by the end of the season they have a solid base behind them for the following year.
I can see those guys peaking around 2012-2105 (along with Chaplin, Carlisle, Boak, the Stewarts, Broadbent, Pearce, Lobbe), this year's recruits establishing themselves in the side then too and getting amongst some good footy. I reckon it would be a pretty good place to be around for a few years.
Hopefully that keeps them here for a good while.
