Coach Ken Hinkley made Port Adelaide players train under a blunt message on day one of AFL pre-season.What Did You Learn was written on the Alberton Oval scoreboard.The biggest thing we learnt is that the standard of last year wasnt good enough, Port captain Travis Boak told reporters on Monday.And we need to come back and want to improve ... they are the words Kenny said and they are the words that will be ringing in the guys ears.After missing the past two finals, Boak said Monday - the first time Ports full group trained together - was an important step.You get a little bit edgy, you certainly wan to get back into it - with the season we had, were ready to start again, Boak said.Things will change. It will be a fresh start for this group, a fresh start for the club and that is the way we want to look at it.I dont want to get too into detail.But just the whole vibe around the club, the enjoyment at training, there is a little bit of game plan stuff which we tinker with every pre-season.And a huge focus on our skills ... there is a few things there that we will continue to work on.Boak said Port planned to use Paddy Ryder and Angus Monfries as inspiration during the preseason after the former Essendon players served a year ban.Not only out on the track and when they play, but around the club, Boak said.For those guys to miss a year of footy, it will be good for them to speak to the group about having something so important to you taken away.

But after three straight trips to the postseason and a 98-win season in 2015, the Pirates U-turn in 2016, to a spot 25 games behind the NL Central-winning Cubs, made this their most disappointing season since Barry Bonds left town a generation ago. That isnt just on the field: The franchise suffered its largest attendance drop in 15 years and fell from a top-10 team in the Ultimate Standings to one in the mid-40s.Whats goodAt least theyve got PNC Park! The Pirates got the best score in sports when asked if their team has a great stadium, and that waterfront property, combined with reasonable concessions and parking prices (and below-average ticket prices, despite a 27 percent increase this year), earned the team a ninth-place ranking in stadium experience. Even in a down year, the Pirates affordable prices and (mostly) competitive play combine for a strong bang for the buck (25th overall this year, though down from eighth in 2015). On the field, Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco arent Andrew McCutchens young proteges anymore. This was the year they actually passed McCutchen, and both are signed and under affordable control for the next five years.Whats badThe Pirates had the highest Opening Day payroll in their history ($99.9 million) this year. Has it peaked, at least for now? There were ominous signs at the trade deadliine, when the Pirates were alive in the wild-card race but still traded away both their closer (Mark Melancon) and Opening Day starter (Francisco Liriano) in the interest of saving themselves approximately $6.dddddddddddd5 million in salary this season, plus the $13.67 million Liriano was owed next year. Is Andrew McCutchen next to go? The longtime face of the franchise is coming off the worst season of his career, has one guaranteed season (plus a 2018 club option) left on his contract and could conceivably be shopped around this winter. Fans dont appear to have much confidence in owner Bob Nutting -- he fell 29 spots this year to 88th -- so they clearly wouldnt put it past him.Whats newAfter completing a season with their lowest win total since 2011, both manager Clint Hurdle (down 35 spots) and the roster (down 32) shared the blame. The good news: There are reinforcements on the way. The Pirates three best pitching prospects -- former No. 2 pick Jameson Taillon, Tyler Glasnow and Chad Kuhl -- all arrived this season, as did Josh Bell, the first baseman of the future. The bad news: This team needs to rediscover its touch for finding and reinventing what seemed like an endless string of pitching reclamation projects. Pittsburgh remains at the forefront of the sport in statistical analysis and creative thinking. But with their limited revenue and payroll, the Pirates need more things to go right than your average team. This year was a stark reminder of what happens when they dont.Next: Chicago Cubs?| Full rankings ' ' '
