BRISBANE'S Tom Rockliff has nominated Port Adelaide as his club of choice from 2018 onwards.

This was confirmed by Port Adelaide's General Manager of Football Chris Davies on AFL Trade Radio on Wednesday morning.

Davies said the Power's list manager Jason Cripps received word from Rockliff's management on Tuesday evening.

"I got [confirmation Tom Rockliff was coming] from our list manager late yesterday," Davies said.

"We're pleased Tom has shown a willingness to come to our footy club. Now it's up to us to work with his management.

"We think Tom can add to a pretty strong midfield already. We're rapt we're in this position."

Rockliff, 27, is a former Brisbane captain and restricted free agent.

This means while he can nominate Port Adelaide as his club-of-choice for 2018, the Lions will have an opportunity to match any offer put forward from the Power to retain him.

Will be massive for Wines IMO

Starting to warm to this idea after not being that keen on it initially. We still need to land a 2nd key fwd to replace Trengove and I think Watts is a more important get still.

Really Watts or Motlop don't see what all the fuss is about over these 2 both have shown to be dare I say lazy over there careers with spurts of quality games maybe a change will fix that maybe it won't

Will be interested to see Ports Offer. My understanding is Rocky wanted a 4 year contract but Lions were only prepared to offer 3. So we wait till Friday and see the offer and then a couple of days to see if Lions match. Do not think there will be a lot of difference $ wise each year.

Fresh start may change it. Well at least that's what I hope anyway.




Word is Young won't be in Power colours, and neither will Ah Chee.

Reckon Port made some excellent moves this trade period. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in contention for the Top 2 next year.
