Cordy is in with the Herald Sun (he's at the Tele), but throwing darts sounds about right...

BREAKING: Port is doing deal with GWS ... teenager Jack Hombsch, originally from Sturt, to Power in exchange for pick 29.
Hmm interesting. He was a fringe player at best for us and his opportunities would have been limited even further next year. 29 is a nice enough pick to use on an established player also!

Just reading on Twitter/Herald Sun chat that it could be Hombsch to Port for #29.
Very unimpressed if that's the deal...

According the FootyWire - 18 Disposals.
Also with Hombsch out that now means we have up to 10 spots to fill and thats prior to a decision being made on Brogan

Not sure of the logic on this one... Need experienced defenders while our guys develop, of which Hombsch is right up there. Perhaps he wants to go back to SA.
Why not push for a deal centered on Hombsch + #12 for #7 and try to get Plowman?

Yes, sorry about that. I got him mixed up with Kennedy, both playing out of the back line that game.
Not happy with that. Hombsch was fullback of the year in the 2011 NEAFL team, was underused in my opinion this year. I always saw him as the running half back Andrew Mackie style. Good decision maker and rarely put a foot wrong. And aren't we trying to get defenders in? Why are we trading one of our better ones out?

Port give away pick 29 for GWS defender Jack Hombsch and North Ballarat zone selection Jake Neade.

Just looking at his bio ..
Trying to work out what's wrong with him? seems a good pick up for us?....

AND Neade is being added to the deal? Hombsch should've been more than enough, keep Neade for another trade...

Very good pickup for #29, even more so with Neade added to the deal.

Exactly my thoughts, we're seeking experienced defenders while our guys develop - Hombsch is first in line as far as developing defenders!
MUST turn #29 into something decent now.
Neade as well?? that seems a bit lop sided

Neade is a zone selection. Hasn't been drafted.
How does Hombsch go for pace? Is that a concern?

Very surprised, having watched a few NEAFL games with Hombsch in it, I thought he was very impressive and was unlucky not to play a few more games.

The injury before the win over the Suns (round 7) probably three him off course a bit, missed 3 weeks there and I think he missed some of the pre-season too. He looked to have a solid middle part of the season with UWS.

Seems like it's part of a bigger trade. Surely pick 29 will be on-traded or combined with pick 12 or 14 for a lower pick?

It HAS to be, #29 on its own is useless... Looking forward to seeing what this produces.

Normally it's good to see the confirmed trade article from the Giants, spruiking x amounts of draft picks in the first round or so. But today's one made out like we 'only' had to give up Hombsch and Neade for #29. * me.
