Any team that can beat Hawthorn twice in one season should be considered a serious premiership threat.

Port Adelaide: It’s a fine line between pleasure and pain

They are the fourth largest club for membership according to figures released today. I suspect they also have a large latent supporter base fed up with the supplements issue. With the WADA appeal resolved one way or another and a fresh start on the field, things should improve in a short space of time.

Essendon's vacancy: Poisoned chalice or lifetime opportunity?

I think we got caught on the hop a bit this year. Complacency and expectation are two things that don’t mix well. Throw in a tougher draw and the rest is history. Port will be significantly better in 2016.

Ken Hinkley: The right man for Port Adelaide

Maybe this is the minority view but does Gaz definitely get in? Just the 15 games and maybe 10-11 games of All-Australian quality? Midfield is probably the most competitive position in the team so it’s hard to pick a guy based on half a season of football, even the great Gazza. Travis Boak and Jordan Lewis, for instance, have led strong midfield groups for the entire season and would be stiff to miss out.

Cam Rose's All-Australian side

Inconsistency is the word that springs to mind immediately. And I’m not sure that is all down to young players either – Dangerfield probably has the biggest gap between his best and worst football of any player in the team. As a Port supporter I hope we get a Showdown final if we don’t get top 4, but I’m also wary of what the Crows are capable of on their day.

Crows fans must stop living in 2012

Tend to agree. Roos is a proven coach but you do wonder how difficult it might be for some players to fully buy into his vision knowing he only plans on being at the footy club for three years before handing over to somebody else. There simply must be big improvements at the Dees over this off season and into next year.

Priority picks are wasted on the Demons
