Port Adelaide vice-captain Hamish Hartlett wont be ostracised after seeking an AFL trade, teammate Ollie Wines says.The Power were willing to trade Hartlett, who held talks with clubs including Richmond and Essendon at the end of the season, but its understood his five-year contract proved a sticking point.Ruckman Matthew Lobbe also made an unsuccessful attempt to find a new home but Wines is confident the duo will be welcomed back with open arms.I guess theyre probably the only names that came out in the media but I think everyones name was up in the air, Wines said on Monday.We back them to the moon. We know what Harts and Lobbe are capable of at their best and were all looking to get to that best this year.Ports first to fourth year players returned to training on Monday with the disappointment of another season without a finals appearance still fresh in their minds.The Power will be bolstered by the return of former Bombers Paddy Ryder and Angus Monfries, who missed all of last season suspended over Essendons supplements saga.But after an underwhelming trade period, Wines admits it will take big improvement for Port to return to their form in 2014 when they narrowly missed out on making the grand final.From the previous two years its probably fair enough we dont have any external expectations on us to do any well, he said.We want to be that team we were a few years ago. We dont like harping on about where we got to but we know our list is the same (and) as players were as fit as weve ever been.Its probably no mystery to anyone that watches footy its probably our kicking efficiency and skill efficiency that lets us down at times.Our fitness relies on being able to hit targets and not have silly turnovers so I think once we get our kicking efficiency up to scratch ... our game comes together.Star forward Chad Wingard (finger) and defenders Jack Hombsch (hip) and Logan Austin (ankle) are among those who went under the knife at the end of the season but have all recovered well.Wholesale Custom Jerseys From China .Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats.

Maybe within a couple days.The Pelicans are 2-9 this season, worst in the Western Conference, but the team has said throughout Holidays absence that there has been no pressure on him to rush back.All of the guys realize what hes been through and how tough its been for him, Gentry said ahead of Mondays matchup with the Boston Celtics. Not just the fact that hes going through the thing with his wife, but to have a newborn kid also is extremely tough. Thats why we wanted him to do it on his terms, when he felt comfortable enough to come back, so he could just play basketball and kind of not worry so much about everything else thats going on. He wasnt going to be able to do that until he was comfortable with his wife and comfortable with his kid.The Holidays have spent the opening of the season in Raleigh, North Carolina, area near the Duke Universsity medical specialists who handled the surgery for Lauren, a two-time gold medalist and 2015 World Cup winner.ddddddddddddA league source said?Holiday?is in great shape, but the Pelicans are expected to limit his minutes as he works his way back into game condition.

His season was cut short after he fractured the orbital wall of his right eye during a game, but he did not miss a game because of his right leg, besides planned absences in the first half of the season.My family comes before basketball, Holiday told the Times-Picayune in early September. Im obviously blessed to play this game and be in the position I am in, but my wife is the most important thing in the world to me. She comes before anything else.New Orleans plays Wednesday in Orlando, followed by home matchups against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. ' ' '
