Port won't offload Chaplin.

Chubba and Gas had had their day. At least I'm not cringing and praying anymore when our defenders kick the footy. Thank Spud for drafting 1 tall in his 5 years as coach that Chubba and Gas were still our mainstays in defence. Chubba wasn't even a key defender either.

That's the rumour although another rumour going around was the Hawks would use Dowler as part of a trade to get Fev.

A while back on here I speculated that Maybe Dowler could become a full back. from memory i dont think many really thought he could do it.

still not convinced he is full-back material.

Natural forward IMO in the Ash Hansen mould.

Fast, multiple leads, strong hands. Probably won't end up a huge goal-kicker ie 40-50 a year. but will be responsible for setting another 30 or goals. kinda like Nick riewoldt

Im still pushing for Rance. He and Myers will become good players in defence in the AFL. Pears also goes ok.

I feel that Myers and Morton are similarish players in terms of size and athleticism, so if it came down to one of these I'd go for Morton
