Nah Booney is out of the closet!
Well as far as a Power supporter anyway................

I reckon Port would be paying some of Lobbe’s contract

We are, yes, but we're not paying him $450k to play SANFL anymore.

Instead you’re paying him $200k to play for another AFL club.

Watts:Lobbe probably net net

Yep paying money for a retard either way.

[Brodlach]

Call me what you want if I’m on $450k a year and have been for the best part of 10 years

We'll see, I guess.

Hartlett and Boak would be coming to the end of no doubt front ended deals, Lobbe off the books and Watts has half his wage paid by Melbourne. They also had a million dollars freed up with Monfries and Ryder not being paid due to the drug saga for a season, hence the reason they could afford to bring in Rockliff, Watts, Motlop etc on decent coin last year. They would have had a squeeze back in 2015/16 but now i think they would be in a similar position to most top end clubs.

Harlett's deal coming to an end? Not yet mate, he's locked away until 2021.

As the article notes, Impey, Trengove and Lobbe were all on decent coin, Young only had a one year deal for 2017 after a solid 2016 so his would have been above average.

Yeah, Hartlett signed for 26 years and then immediately became a dud.

Hartlett had a pretty good year last year, his first in defence.

Expect him to improve again and be a more than solid campaigner.

He has a ton of ability, they extended that contract on the back of a poor season which was baffling, I like the guy, I think he has a lot to offer.

Said it before, I'll say it again, players and player managers have too much power over the clubs.

unless the player is a free agent, their contract should be able to be traded to whichever club wants to honour it.

yep, you can't half arse free agency...gotta be like the NBA model if you're going to use it. Clubs can trade you without you knowing.

Port Adelaide injury news. Jared Polec to miss all of the JLT series with a hamstring injury. Out for 4-5 weeks. Chad Wingard (hamstring), Lindsay Thomas (hamstring), Todd Marshall (calf) in doubt for Sunday's JLT game v West Coast

[Booney]

Wingard has been back in full training this week, no chance he goes to Perth for a practice match.

Polec's hamstring is a significant one, he might get a trial at SANFL level prior to round 1 of AFL season proper, I can't see him lining up against Fremantle in round 1 at this point.

Marshall seems to be a slight strain, again there's no way he'll head to the match in Perth.

[MW]

A lot of soft tissue injuries coming out of Alberton this off season

Polec the only one of concern and his was suffered in a collision, not just in motion, Wingard, Motlop, Marshall and Thomas all very minor and more management than "pings".

[Dutchy]

Where's Burgo?

[Booney]

Where's Burgo?

In regular contact with Ian McKeown, thanks for your concern though.
