Port Adelaide were one of the biggest winners in this yearโs period. The Power landed three established players to help aid their premiership push.
Tom Rockliff and Steven Motlop made their way to the club via free agency while the out of favour Jack Watts was traded to the Power in exchange for a second-round pick. The Powerโs most notable losses were Jarman Impey and Aaron Young, but the influx of talent definitely outweighs the departures.
After the Bulldogs and Tigers won unexpected premierships over the last few years, there is a sense among finals contenders that a premiership is well within reach. This is also true for Port Adelaide. They are in win-now mode and have acquired talent that can help them challenge for the flag in 2018.
