We can evaluate each player on our list starting with the highest number Lin Jong down to Matthew Suckling.
The poll will run for a week and when your post in the poll if you can give a reason on your thoughts so we can share your insights.
At the end we'll see how our list looks in the eyes of WOOF members.

Porter is definitely a VFL tier player. I'd still keep him because he's one of our few players that loves to tackle people and he'd tackle people with a fair bit of force in the VFL over the last two years.

I guess I would like to ask others here is if they think he has a point of difference over other younger mids of what his strength might be? I think he is a solid player but I think he will struggle to find a spot in our best 22

I voted needs more time, but I wasn't overly impressed with his first game. He sure puts the effort in and once he picks up the pace of senior football, maybe he will be a good player. Need to see more of him to make a definitive assessment of him.

I'm not sure he has more time.

Would you keep him on our list for 2021?

Only if he showed something

Gee we expect a lot from a debutant however I suppose he has been in list for quite a few years.

I thought Porter showed improvement as the game progressed and considering he was only on something like 50% playing time I thought he did ok.

Would like to see him given another senior game or two before I’d put line through him.

Depends upon how big a cut list sizes will be imposed on us too.

I put him as VFL quality. He has been around long enough to show his tricks. He has a solid frame and plenty of go. However I don’t see him getting his nose ahead of anyone in our top 25 when they are fit. Happy to have him as a depth player but I feel he may be one a list clogger.

for me - VFL quality on the basis if list sizes reduce, hard decisions will need to be made
