Looking very much too watching Port in 07.

Submitted by Portroo on
By my list Port has recruited 11 players,i may have missed 1 or 2 but the list so far is: David Robbins Adrain Bonaddio David Spriggs John Baird Matthew Pearce Luke Livingstone Bo Nixon Jeremy Dukes Julian Rowe David Fanning Paul Jolley In any AFL/VFL or local footy i have never seen that much influx into a team - it will no doubt push them into the top 6 maybe,just maybe top and a flag. Not doubt it will be tough at first but once the team settles and players get to know each other in the style and the way they play they will form a potent side with the benefit of not having to worry about the 12-10 rule of players coming and going from the team the way the alignments work. Very happy the way Port has recruited and will look forward to them being a force again. Go Boroughs!

Good list of additions, certainly. But remember, they are being added to pretty much nothing.

Apart from those names you mentioned, we are yet to hear of who the club has picked up from the VFL U18s. There will be the usual turnover of the bottom half of the list.

Don't wet the bed big fella. I know what was at Port, and I stand by my comment. I am pretty fond of Port, but I will just wait and see. One of the great issues with getting ahead of yourself is that people tend to remember and when it doesn't quite go to plan, things can come back to bite you. A lot has been said about how good they are supposed to be, and there hasn't been a hanball in anger yet.
