A foundation player with the Power, Eagleton was a solid contributor with Port until heart related health problems led to a few weeks on the side lines in 1999. That proved to be his final year with Port as he was traded to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for Brett Montgomery and Matthew Bishop.

Played under the shadow of being Russell Ebert’s brother but was a quietly effective player in his own right. Went to West Adelaide when he realised he would struggle to play any more senior games at Port.

Ebert debuted for Port Adelaide as an 18 year old in 1968 and by the time he retired 17 years later, he was universally acknowledged as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, players in the long history of Australian Rules football.

In 451 senior games (including 25 with North Melbourne and 35 for South Australia) Ebert generally controlled play, seemingly with the ball on a string, and was an instigator of the famous above the head handball that he so often used to clear the ball.

Ebert hailed from Berri and immediately made an impression at Alberton, winning the leading goalkicking in his debut season. He followed that with a Magarey Medal and Best & Fairest double in 1971 and further honours over the proceeding decade and a half.

Victorian teams chased Ebert for a decade until North Melbourne finally won his signature and he spent a season with the Kangaroos in 1979, becoming their highest possession getter and mystifyingly missing the North Melbourne Best & Fairest.

Tim Evans is Port Adelaide's greatest ever goal kicker and for over a decade was the spearhead of the Port Adelaide attack.

Born in Wynyard, Tasmanian, Evans was recruited to Geelong as a Centre Half Back where he stayed for four injury interrupted seasons. Evans was recruited to Port Adelaide at the end of 1974 as a Centre Half Back before being sent forward in the absence of regular full forward Randall Gerlach. Evans quickly became one of the best full forwards in the country, winning Port's Leading Goalkicker Award ten times. His 16 goals against West Adelaide at Alberton Oval in 1980 is a Port Adelaide record for the most goals kicked in a single match.

In 2001 Evans was rightfully named at Full Forward in Port Adelaide's Team of the Century.
