Isaac Keeler trains with Port Adelaide after St Kilda delisting
The 22-year-old forward is training with Port Adelaide as he seeks a lifeline after being delisted by St Kilda.
Isaac Keeler spent four seasons at St Kilda but managed only 13 games before the club delisted him. The 22-year-old returned to South Australia and has now joined a small group of Power players in pre-season training at Port Adelaide.
Port Adelaide list boss Jason Cripps confirmed they are exploring a signing. Port Adelaide would likely use new Category B rookie rules for Indigenous players.
This would not cost the club a list spot. Keeler has shown potential as a key forward and can also play in the ruck.
The Power don't yet own the first draft pick but appear positioned to add both Keeler and likely number one pick Dougie Cochrane to their 2027 list.
