HAVE you ever wondered how Port Adelaide players are going about preparing for the 2019 AFL season? Are you wondering how the AFL’s new rule changes will affect Port Adelaide’s strategy? Would you like to hear about how the club’s ruck plan will change after the recruitment of Scott Lycett?

Port Adelaide’s 2019 Member Convention will help answer those questions and more.

The program for the event has been released today, with General Manager – Football, Chris Davies to unpack the myths around the AFL salary caps, senior assistant coach Michael Voss to outline how the AFL rule changes will impact the Power’s game plan and new ruck coach Dean Brogan and ruckmen Paddy Ryder and Scott Lycett to discuss how the club’s ruck strategy will evolve in 2019.

A huge success when Port Adelaide hosted a league-first Member Convention for 750 members at Alberton Oval in 2018, Inside Port Adelaide: Live is back in 2019.

Our coaches and football staff put a considerable amount of effort into their presentations, providing members with detail into their respective programs.

For members who are interested in the modern game, the Member Convention is a fantastic way to learn and gain insights into the plans, strategies and learnings that Port Adelaide will be taking into 2019.

Providing exclusive insights into the football program with unprecedented access and information, the event will in 2019 be held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre to allow more members to attend.

As a member's first club, Port Adelaide wants to give members the opportunity to gain an insight into its football program and how the club operates.

Other highlights of the convention on Saturday 16 February are talks by new assistant coaches Brett Montgomery and Jarrad Schofield about the Power’s defence and midfield strategy respectively, a player panel involving Hamish Hartlett, Tom Jonas, Ollie Wines, Ryan Burton and Connor Rozee and talks by CEO Keith Thomas, Chairman David Koch and senior coach Ken Hinkley.

The event is exclusive to members only and costs $99, with the option to split the cost over three individual monthly payments.

The price includes a program, lunch and refreshments, giveaways and parking.

Register here for your chance to be involved.
