None of us know what our clubs are looking for or even if Charlie will go so we are all speculating.
What I do know is we have played hardball with trades in the past and I expect this to be no different.
There are a multitude of options if Port wont deal, I am sure Carlton, Brisbane, Essendon, StKilda, Hawthorn, Collingwood etc will be more than willing to show him around their state of the art facilities.

If he wants to come here pick 7 sounds pretty well dead on.
I don't agree that we'd need a pick back.
We might start our negotiations asking for a pick back, but 7 is fair value

Agree, if our fitness assessment says he is good to go, pick 7 it is. If no on fitness, than I think we would avoid all together.

I'm having trouble to see how Charlie will fit into Port's setup.
How do you think it'll work on field if you indeed cough up your 1st pick for him...

Sorry to intrude but you've got your facts wrong on Monfries and why that deal was done. It was done as a trade for a poor draft pick as we had compensation picks tied up in losing Chaplin and Danyle Pearce to free agency and didn't want them mucked around with by signing Monfries as a FA, and Essendon were more then happy to accept pick 51 as they at least got something for him. If memory serves correctly Essendon got Goddard as a FA that year also so Monfries wasn't a big deal to Essendon at the time.
We have been more then fair at times and have also been tight assed and played hard ball at others in the trade period through out our history which shock horror so have all the other clubs in the competition. It's the nature of the business, if Dixon wants to go to Port Adelaide as it seems right now, I'm sure the 2 clubs will sort a fair and reasonable trade out for both clubs.

If Henderson is worth Geelongs first pick (likely 9-10) then Dixon is worth all of pick 7 and probably more

A) that is only a writer speculating about people speculating about a trade swap.
B) it mentions first pick being involved . Nowhere is it said that it would just be only a straight swap
C) Henderson is only 1 year older then Dixon but has played twice as many games , has kicked more goals despite playing as a key defender often , and has taken approx 4 times as many marks as Dixon.
You don't have to argue every point I make, but if Henderson is so great go after him.
I can see Lobbe being squeezed out on his 2015 form anyway. Ryder the ruck man with Dixon, Westhoff and Trengove as support.
Henderson is very limited.
Dixon is actually good and I will be disappointed when we miss out on him in trade week.

Really, he was a key reasons why you went so well last year I would've thought.
Lobbe wont be going anywhere.
I think pick 7 for Dixon is probably about right with maybe a swap of second rounders as well...

dont think i have ever watched him play without going to the bench with an ankle issue. In full flight he is great to watch though
This. Would be extremely disappointed if it was Port's first this year that is going for Dixon.
I'll do 2016 1st + 2015 second.
That wont get it done, if you are offering 5 years at $600K as has been reported. You will have to cough up, unfortunately your pick is now looking likely to be No 9, I am not convinced the Suns would accept it.

Don't think Ports 2nd round pick would have much value to the Suns this year, considering they'll have 3 top 25 picks, especially with the belief of a shallow draft.
All the more reason for the Suns to take the 2016 pick.
There really isn't any difference between a couple of spots in draft picks. I'm a big fan of comparing past trades and I think pick 7-10 is worth a lot more than what we traded for Ryder.
I also don't think the Suns are helping their case when they come out and say Dixon will only be a 15games/season player.

I'd rather the Lions pick up Dicko than Port. Create a rivalry, Lions! Do it!

I think if he comes to us it'll be via PSD which would create one he'll of a rivalry

Serious question: would you rather Dixon or a priority pick?
