Quote:The Port Melbourne Football Club has been extremely active in the off season with several outstanding signings for the 2006 season. It is a somewhat “sons of” affair with Nic Raines (Geoff), Rhys Monteath (Bruce), Braydan Shaw (Tony) Nick Dimattina (Frank) and Matthew Smith (Michael) all signing with the Borough, added to this group are: Billy Morrison (ex/Collingwood), Brent Evans (returning from coaching in Queensland) Kurt McGlynn (ex/Bendigo Bombers), Luke Peel (ex/Port Adelaide), Rowan Nayna (ex/Western Bulldogs), Brendan Waldron (Ex/Springvale), Sam Pleming (ex/Carlton), Nick Becker (ex/Carlton), Warren Carlyle (ex/Coburg/Perth), Matthew Becker (Murray Bushrangers), Jarrod Plymin and Daniel Gribben (Sandringham Dragons), Brad Sutcliffe (Western Jets), Rhys Bloomfield (Greenvale), Brent Carlyle (Northern Knights), Robin Nanya, Rees Thomas, Tom Langford, Chris Cain (Oakleigh Chargers) and Gary Johnstone returning to the Club after a season at Mount Gravatt, QLD. The Club believes that the young list that we have gathered together will complement the 2005 listed players who have been retained by the Club.

Just don't expect too much from these guys - most are very young and inexperienced. Don't expect them to be overnight premiership material. Not all that sure that the "sons of" are going to be world beaters either. Evans is a good pick up, Becker has promise and Peel has a point to prove to the AFL recruiters. Robin Nahas has been picked up by Port? He is one U18 I was impressed with, playing for Vic Metro last year. He is small and light, but he gets the ball and does good things with it. I am not saying these guys are crap - but I am saying not to overestimate how they will go until they have a bit more experience and muscle mass under their belts.

Lets wait and see how they go at a new club.

Ben Robbins has retired. No news on departures yet.

Looking through Ports list, it looks like they are pictured in Jumper number order (although not listed). Looks like Nick Thomas has finally moved from his # 64 jumper!

It makes me upset to see that Rowan Nayna will be playing with you guys after he had an injury interupted season with us. I was also surprised to see why he wasn't given a second chance by either the Bulldogs or another AFL club.
