View Full Version : Stiffy to Power?
MaccasNeighbour

How serious are the rumours that Johncock wants to go to the Power next season? I keep hearing whispers here and there but nothing definitive.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Hopefully they are not true as he is still the best young player we have.
If they are true then what should we expect in return? I would have thought at least a first round draft pick but Port wont have that to give. Only other option is a quality player, but who?
I heard KG talking about this and he categorically stated that Stiffy is not looking to go to Port. Time will tell I guess but my money is on that he will stay with the Crows.

i think the rumours are just that...rumours!
Stiffy wont be going anywhere BUT if he does then he wont go cheaply...i can see the AFC taking a tough stance on this one if it does come to the fore! the PAPFC may try and play hardball knowing the Stiffmeister may want to go back there and try and force the AFC into a unfair trade...
doubt it will happen tho...
and to be fair to the PAPFC, i dont think they would play hardball. the working relationship between both SA clubs has always been good. the likely hood of an amicable trade being done would greater than not...IF it was to happen!
Any chance of coming up with something new? I'm getting bored of this one.

I have heard the rumour also and as a Port supporter, I would love to have him at Alberton. For a trade to be done, Port would have to offer the Crows a ruckman or a key tall.
Possible trade Johncock for Lade plus a 2rd or 3rd round draft pick? Any comments?

In return for Stiffy, I'd be looking at perhaps a Stuart Dew, Either of the Burgoynes? Kane Cornes?

How about Kane or Chad for Stiffy.
That way Chad can start playing in the forward lines where he belongs.

You can take Dew, i'd rather give him up than Lade. We've got three small forwards better than Dew, Lade would be a handy pick up for most clubs. Dew is over-rated.

26 Jun 2004, 19:07
Really? You want to get rid of Dew?
Not the 'Floodbuster'? Why would you want to trade him?
He's a walking fat farm!
there is no way in hell that either of the burgoynes of the cornes boys are fair trade bait for johncock. He is probably of the same ability as Shaun Burgoyne but i have seen them out in town and they are close friends so i doubt a straight swap would work. how about lade, and dew for stiffy and a 2nd round draftpick.
even that sounds crazy, lade or dew plus a 2nd round draft pick for johncock.
keep in mind that johncocks form hasnt been that impressive this year.

FFS people Johncock is not going anywhere and even if he was Crows would want in return a player of similar age, quality and ability or a pick in the top 10. These crap suggestions like Lade and 2nd round draft pick (likely to be pick 30+) are just fantasies and are NEVER going to happen. You want a gun youngster who is yet to reach his peak but is still a match winner for a Ruckman in the twilight of his career with 2 broken legs behind him plus a late pick who is likely to turn into peanuts??????
How about Tredrea for Burton and 2nd round draft pick?????? No. Now you know how stupid your suggestions are.

More than happy to trade Stenglein if the right deal can be done.
In fact the Perrie / Stenglein package could be quite attractive to West Coast?

Actually I was just having a look at Johncock's stats (http://www.footywire.com/fw/web/ft_player_career?pid=11) compared to last year and his average kicks, disposals and marks are slightly up, though probably not as much as crows supporters would have liked. While other stats are about the same except for tackles.
So, yes, he probably hasn't been that impressive but at this stage there is a marginal improvement over last season. But of course, that is just is based on statistics which may not mean anything depending on how you want to interpret it.

Should've traded Perrie two years ago when he still had some currency. Now he's just the bonus set of steak knives. I doubt he would value add much to what you'd get for Stenglein.

He's been in the midfield more this year so you would expect his stats to be up.
But I think he was probably more effective last year, probbably because he was scoring more goals, which tend to stick in your memory more.

Has he had more midfield time this season? There was a fair bit of talk preseason that he would as he'd lifted his endurance levels. Also just at a glance his disposal seems to have fallen away a bit. A number of OOFs the last couple of weeks?

stiffy, now you are being an idiot. How can you compare a three time all australian, best and fairest and vice captain to a young flanker with potential. My suggestions are not stupid, you need a ruckman, and dew would give you another forward option.
Damon would probably be a fair trade but port need him more then another small runner... so i cant see that happening.

You're going to lose Damon White for three reasons.
1. He gets no opportunities - plays well, gets B&F votes, and gets dropped.
2. Thurstans has got his role at the moment, however crap Thurstans might actually turn out to be.
3. Adelaide need him, there is a regular first-team position he could walk into, and he wouldn't have to move interstate for the change.

After 23 games Mc Gregor was leading in Kicks and Points only.
Thurstans leads in Marks, H/B, Disposals, Goals, Hit outs and Tackles.
None of them by a significant amount when divided by No of games, apart from tackles.
***************************************
In the last 23, ie after Mc Gregor has had a 64 game head start in experience
Mc Gregor leads in Kicks, Marks, H/B and of course disposals.
Thurstans leads in Goals hit outs and tackles.
When looking at game time and position played, again there is not much in it, apart from tackles again.
It is also worth noting that this period is McGregor's purple patch.

Both players were drafted in the same year, and Thurstans is a few months older than McGregor.
It's fair to say that the second comparison is the far more valid one. ;)

It is fair to say that Thurstans has less games/years available to improve, but so far so good.
I certainly wouldn't rush to swap him for McGregor atm, so statements like " however crap Thurstans might actually turn out to be" are way off the mark and somewhat parochial.

Lade is close to retirement and is not in the top 5 ruckman in the comp.
Dew after OP is no where near the player he was
No club will trade their best youngster for 2 OK-ish players.
Think about it. Johncock is our best youngster and if he was to go it would be for a plyer of similar age, quality and talent or for a draft pick not a player and 2nd round pick. Just think about what would Port be asking if Johncock was in their side. They would laugh off the suggestions that you gave just as easily as you laughed off the suggestion of Burton and 2nd round pick for Tredrea. The chances of either of those trades being done are non existant.
Before people make some suggestions where they pack up a package for the player think whether or not that is possible and what would the clubs say. I am pretty sure AFC would tell Port what Essendon told Richmond when they offered peanuts for Solomon.

I'm not making any comment on Thurstans at all Pafolwr, don't read things in.
I actually think Thurstans could be quite good, but he could also turn out to be dead crap. I am saying that White has shown more straight away than Thurstans has racked up slowly (admittedly he was good against Freo, but no other game he has played at AFL level has impressed me).
So that's my point. I am passing no judgment on how good Thurstans will or will not be, but am saying he could be crap, whereas White has shown something straight away.
You'd be dreaming if you thought Johnco(k would be worth a top 10 pick.

It's pointless debating what Johncock is or isn't worth as a trade because it isn't going to happen.

Agreed (re Rucci), although it isn't out of the realm of possibility in the future. If the Crows were offered a top 10 pick for Johncock I think they would take it in a heartbeat.
I wouldn't want to trade to get Johncock as we already have many players of a similar type to him, that's all.

We have his style of player already covered, and in my opinion, covered by better players than Johncock.
Port's end of 2004 trading energies need to be used on making Port a better, more likely to win the flag, club.
Johncock is a good player, but we already have "him" in style in our best on-field team, we don't need him, Port should concentrate on its priority requirements

Yeah that’s the mantra you keep hearing from crows supporters and the media … but is he really? Or is he just the best developed player you have in that age bracket? At the moment he’s a good regular league player, but no more. For a while he looked like he would be a regular game breaker maybe even AA material, but not these days – which makes you wonder did he fly under the opposition radar when Riccuito, McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards drew all the attention?. His development appears to have plateaued and he has no real position on the field. Is he an opportunist forward, midfielder or small defender? Are Jericho, Watts, Hentschell, Bock, Reilly better youngsters because they have more development in them?
FWIW I’m with Asgardian - wouldn’t take him because I think he’s overrated for the reasons above so would cost too much and we have enough players of his type.
Can't believe that some people are still putting S Dew up for a possible trade for G Johncock.
At best Dew has only proven to be a handy forward pocket player who if given the chance can kick the ball a fair distance.
As for B Lade well if his name came up for trade from the Paps in regard to young Stiffy would we honestly even look at it sideways ?? maybe a few years ago but not now.
Anyway there is probably more of a chance that the young Burgoyne would be coming to the Crows than Johncock being traded to the Paps.
I believe Burgoyne no3 is said to be the best yet.

Port think they have a Johncock-type covered, and better? Who?

Ebert? Not as good.

Stiffy is 21 years old and has tremendous poetential
We would not give him up for players such as Lade and Dew whose best is behind them in my view.
We would want a Kane Cornes, and we may give you a third round pick as well as Stiffy for him.
But in my view the trade won't happen
Stiffy will be a long term player at our club and the less deals we do with Port the better.

Id rather persist with our strong group of young players than trade over the odds for Johncock that would essentially not add a whole lot to our team.
As i said on another thread...Johncock is a good young player with the potential to be a great player. The Crows will want more than we would be willing to give up and I dont believe it would be worth what we'd have to give up to get him.
Another flanker isnt going to improve our side a whole lot.
Just another thing, you would love to have S Burgoyne, Ebert, Cassisi and Pickett in your squad. You have a go at Cassisi but hes done a lot more than any young Crow midfielder has.

Never say never! Lots of good players have been traded in recent years.

But i do agree with this 100%. There is no way Johncock will be traded to Port or any other team. The Crows wont give him up and i seriously doubt Port are actually looking into him. There are other positions that are more important.

Mitch, I stated at the beginning of the season that we were going to have a bigger than normal turnover at the end of this season (given the expected retirement & lack of turnover of fringe players last year). Given our (lack of) performances most of the Crows posters would be in agreement that a very big broom is going to be applied at AFC come the end of the season.

I wholeheartedly agree about key forward and key back. Not ruckman though. Not until next season.
Not just average though - that's the problem, we have plenty of AVERAGE. I would have to be better than average - which I think Damon White is/will be.

He has never played for Port.
He played for the new PAMFC which has only existed since 1997

So we are going to trade a local established youngster for a not as established interstater who may want to go home?

Its a load of crap and Johncock's extension of contract will be announced soon.

Port wouldn't take Johncock and a 2nd round pick for Salopek, let alone the other way around, Salopek is a far more valuable player than Johncock.

Why does this issue continue?
As far as I can tell, the Crow supporters do not want this trade to happen.
Equally as passionate are the Port supporters, who also do not want this trade to happen.
Dare I suggest that we all ignore this base rumour.
