Future draft picks to the Suns could be incorporated somehow due to the Suns likely needing them next year to grab an academy boy or two likely to be higher up in the draft.

I think Port will be trying to trade their pick 7 for a later pick and upgrading their second pick. Just like in the Polec deal when you guys had pick 14, but were to much of a cheap-skate to just hand over pick 14, which by the way was more then fair.So you are saying if a player has an injury concern , that if a team is willing to trade for that player the injury concern , or the fact they only play around 13 games a season cannot be factored in by the teams at all
That is a bizarre argument.
Pick 7 is a bit too much for port to give up for Dixon in my opinion. Hence why I say instead of port offering a lower pick , of which would be too low in my opinion , that getting a pick back (and gcs 2nd rounder would be gcs 4th pick , it is hardly something inconceivably impossible to ask for) makes sense.
Otherwise port could trade that pick 7 for a later 1st and 2nd and and send the later first ie pick 10/11/12/13/14 to gcs. But that is more complicated and gcs would probably be happier with the first option.
In my opinion if it was a straight trade of pick 7 for Dixon port is too much at risk and should not gamble that amount. Regardless of what gcs would want port would be better served to walk away and leave gcs and Dixon to negotiate amongst themselves.
I also believe that gc would not push for pick 7 and reject anything else.
I also believe that even ignoring the premise that Dixon chooses port , no other team isn't going to blow ports offers out of the water to the point gcs have cause to complain about ports offers. Bris and freo likely would not come close to offering something like pick 7.
Doubtful that gc would want to go to war over this with port , and vice versa. I highly doubt port asking for a pick back is taken badly by gcs to the point they consider it a spit in the face and want to retaliate by shipping Dixon elsewhere in the psd.
The irony of this is if you take a stroll through every other trade thread here you will see 2nd round picks being offered for every player here or it's the psd being thrown around. I'm hardly spitting in the face of gcs supporters by suggesting a 2nd rounder back with Dixon for pick 7.
If Port are too scared to take Dixon with his ankles and want something back i'm sure Brisbane would be fine offering something much better. The best thing for the Suns is to create a bidding war. He might only be worth an end of first round pick but that doesn't matter if other clubs want him.
Well the Suns are more likely to take that. If Brisbane offer better than Port then Port will have to drastically improve their offer otherwise the won't get him.What is Brisbane willing to offer better than 7 and late pick swap (out of interest )

A player? A future draft pick? They may even get a priority pick so pick 2 for Dixon and pick 25. Hard to tell now as nothing is official. We don't even know if Port are offering pick 7 there may be a player that wants to come to GC.Yes but what are Brisbane going to offer better than that ?
It's easy to say if Brisbane offer more - but they won't use pick two - so what will they use ?
Also they need to then convince Dixon to go there.

I'm talking about Brisbane here not Gold Coast. There is a strong chance they will get one. They need experience forwards and Dixon is at a good age then use pick 1 for Weitering down back plus still get a pick from GC at the end of the first round. Just an option.If you get a priority (which you won't) there's no way on earth you aren't taking them both to the draft.

Hawks are sniffing around is what I'm hearing
would definitely not say they are shrewd traders, they have generally held all the other teams at ransom with off contract players choosing them (except Ryder who wasn't off contract but its much publicized his circumstances) and them low balling the other team until they give in due to the threat of the PSD
Bit of rewriting history here. Out of the "go home 4" (Docherty, Yeo, Polec, Longer) Port were the only one to come to the table with a first round pick. Longer went to St Kilda for 25,I think Port will be trying to trade their pick 7 for a later pick and upgrading their second pick. Just like in the Polec deal when you guys had pick 14, but were to much of a cheap-skate to just hand over pick 14, which by the way was more then fair.
Port don't play the PSD line so let's not even pretend that's an option.I reckon Gold Coast will get pick 7 for him though because you can't use the pre-season draft as a threat and their is strong interest from your cross town rivals Adelaide, Fremantle and Brisbane.

Docherty went to Carlton for 33
Yeo (the best performed of the lot) went to West Coast for 28.
Polec was injury-riddled and could barely get on the park, Port's 14 for Polec + 21 was pretty good faith by Port I thought and your list manager at the time agreed when interviewed on Adelaide radio.
youve having a laugh mate the pick we got was pick 22, dont try to sound noble saying you gave away pick 14, you basically downgraded a first round pick 7 spots to pick up an elite talent
yeah exactly just trying to let old mate know real facts about his supposed high and mighty clubIt was a complicated deal went like
Port gained Polec, 21, 45
Lost 14, 34
GWS gained 14
Lost 21,22,48
Brisbane Gained: 22, 45, 48
Lost Polec 29, 45
Pretty good deal on Ports behalf, like all Yeo, Docherty and Longer Brisbane got the short end. It's a good example of what Port will try and do I think.

And either way it's semantics. 21, 22. Does it really matter that much? Cripes. And FYI there was more to it than that with GWS coming to the table if you're going to nitpick. As soon as you made that point I knew the rest of your post would be typically petty.The Giants also sent the second-round number 21 pick to Port in exchange for the first-round number 14 selection.
And bingo, here we are, suspicion confirmed. I stated the trade and said that even your list manager said that Port had come to the table more than the other clubs.dont try to sound noble saying you gave away pick 14, you basically downgraded a first round pick 7 spots to pick up an elite talent
Yep in hindsight it was great for Port considering by all reports we had our eyes on Impey with the pick anyway and the way in which Polec came on.It was a complicated deal went like
Port gained Polec, 21, 45
Lost 14, 34
GWS gained 14
Lost 21,22,48
Brisbane Gained: 22, 45, 48
Lost Polec 29, 45

they held West Coast at ransom and gave them pick 28 and a swap of third round picks for a player selected 12 three years prior
they took monfries a pretty established player for essendon for pick 51...this isnt bargain basement smart trading it is holding clubs at ransom and just being crap blokes
OMG you are literally the only person to ever say this on bigfooty ever.After all the trade hyperventilation by supporters is done:
1. Dixson will tell the Suns he will only go to the club of his choice
2.Other clubs try in vain the muscle in on the trade
3. GC will get unders late in trade period after a stand-off but not by so much that it hurts too badly (especially given GC are drowning in honey in respect to 1st round draft picks).
This how these things generally play out.
Gee aren't Port fans pleasant to be around. #arrogance
