I cant believe that it is that time of the year again when we need to start another Port Melbourne player movement thread - as Rocky said to Paulie - "time goes tooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaaast"..
Anyways to begin - a sad one and a player that will be hard to replace and will definetely be missed by the Borough. A player who through his Port Melbourne journey became more versatile the more he played. He had the ability to ruck, play forward and back. I'm of course talking of the retirement of Khan Heretuku who is retiring from VFL football. Had a great few seasons at Port being recruited by VFLFOOtys own Lauchie from Frankston in season 2015.
I feel like Port should look for another big man to replace Khan as it is often evident that the size difference against some of the AFL sides is a definite disadvantage.

Rattling the tin cans must have been a huge success Mega.
Do you know you can only play 22 ?
Had nothing to do with tin rattling as players are playing for love of club and game. Nobody is getting paid this season.
As for your other question regarding only 22 players - yes big lists for a 6 game season but I guess theirs no negative consequences when your not paying players. From the players perspective I think they would be relieved that they get to get out of the house, do what they love, get some recreation and exercise in a otherwise very ordinary time.
NOBODY is getting paid Mega ???
What was the tin can rattle all about ? Maybe to pay for last year !!
Don't tell me Garrry is offering a freeby !
Good question Digs and one that was answered on the show tonight by Port Melbournes digital media and membership staff. The donations asked for by the club was to solidify the clubs finances into the future as at present with the lack of activity funds are hard to come by. It was made clear that the request was nothing like 2017 and that this is far from tin rattling with the club not in dire trouble.
As for your nobody getting paid question, that was in response to your suggestion that players were signing for Port for money $$$. Thats correct nobody is getting paid out of the players.
