The thing I like about Berry is that I feel like he is going to have an impact this year.

Hopefully Berry, Richards and Luko give us some joy.

We need something to look forward to!

Rioli and Mitch too buddy. Mitch was fantastic off a knee and Rioli does Rioli things.

Not convinced on Richards but Berry and SPP back is awesome. DBJ grossly underrated as a FWD also

Yeah I was more referring to new comers who might move the needle.
 
Anyone know where he was rated in the phantoms?
Around that 15-18 mark. A lot of phantoms had Freo picking him up the pick after ours. It seems like there was a lot of interest from some other clubs too. Some people over on the draft board were saying that the Saints were very keen on trading back into the 1st round to pick him.

Seems like there was also interest from the Dees at 9 and Richmond at 10/11.

but for some reason unless you are spitting venom at all times you lack conviction as a supporter, or even worse considered a happy clapper it's actually effing ridiculous how much people carry on all the time. It's as if everything we do as a club is an un-mitigating disaster but it's quite often not that bad.
Yep, not sure what the opposite of a happy clapper is - maybe just a sad sack or a misery guts? First to admit our finals appearances have been disappointing but I've taken my kids to more wins than losses and they're grown up in a world where the Crows are a joke of embarassing camp stories and power stances while Port are a strong traditional club with an excellent recuiting team (Butters v Chayce Jones). Forums are designed for eveyone to have an opinion and share ideas but unfortunately the same people decide to spew their bile across every thread rather than the ones that are designed for them.
 
The players we recruited this week were literally 1 year old babies last time Port played in a grand final. Nobody under the age of about 30 remembers Port being anything other than mediocre. The broad based criticism is fundamentally warranted.

"The joke of embarassing camp stories and power stances" has won more flags and played in a GF more recently us. Glass Houses.
 
From 2 posters on the D+T board

Saints fan...

So it was reported that we offered clubs our F1 from I think it was the picks after ours onwards, so that we could get Berry. But they all said no dice, until Port grabbed him.

.....

Heard today from a source I can't name who was in the Saints room ...you were doing the deal, literally on the phone, with GWS(?) to pick up Berry and Port jumped in and took him.

Connor Rozee has played for the club for 6 years, in four of those years he's played in a top four side. While they're not a Premiership side they're far from a mediocre side. Did you see the faces of the kids that were drafted to us? "I got to meet Robbie Gray", "I've based my game on Butters I love the way he goes about it". The "broad based critiscism" is from spoilt boomers and Gen X's like myself who got to see Tim Evans kick ten - this was back in the day when we could go to a footy oval on the Eyre Peninsula and offer a farmer's son the chance to play for the greatest club in Australia. The system has changed, noone wins like Port used to win - Hawthorn hit rock bottom after their glory, North Melbourne hit rock bottom etc. We'll get there - I agree possibly not with the coach we have but the club itself is much more than the coach.
