FORMER Essendon rookie Tim O'Keefe has joined VFL club Port Melbourne.
O'Keefe has been tailed by injuries in the past two years but new Port coach Gary Ayres said the 191cm defender was getting himself fit and would be a good acquisition.
"He can be a nice running back for us, or someone who can give you a bit of height through the midfield," he said.
"He can run and carry the footy."
O'Keefe, originally from Seymour, was rookie-listed after a good 2005 season with the Bendigo Bombers.
Another Bendigo player, Michael Dillon, has also joined Port. Dillon won the reserves best and fairest this year and also made half-a-dozen senior appearances. He tried his luck at VFL level after some outstanding seasons for Gisborne.
