^^^this. We get three goodish draft picks (23, 28, 33)
Would take picks 28 and 33 if all else failed

We'll have to wait and see what can be arranged. Usually when there's a gap between fair value, as I believe exists here (Pick 6 > Ebert > Pick 28), then a 3-way deal is often the solution.

Any idea what the compensation could be?

Ohhhh now that would throw another spanner in the works.
But considering we could lose Ebert for free to the PSD - I don't think we're in any position to make a realistic demand for a straight swap anything more than pick 28.

I don't think the Brogan/Cornes compensation will be anything worth while (I am expecting a third rounder at best). But who knows.

We have given him more opportunitys than he deserved. Will be pissed off if we get **** all in return. Hopemhe does go alright though, seems a good bloke.
GET PEARCE! More than likely won't happen but has so much class.

What's the compensation pick you got for Krakouer? Would that be anything decent?
Well aint this a piece of shit. What a waste of time.

If he explicitly stated he wants to go to South Australia I highly doubt GWS and GC will upset the apple-cart and select Ebert.
Traded back last year to GC for Simon Phillips (prelisted player) IIRC.

I can actually see Eberts point. He is a midfielder playing as a sort of 4th marking option at half forward in a side that tends to bomb the ball in to the other 3....
He is a tough inside mid who can take a mark and has height and can kick a goal, they are handy skills. Of course he is also a slowish inside mid with questionable disposal, although his issues are typically pure skill execution rather than poor decisions - he aims at the right place but just misses at times.
So a young kid with a decent head on his shoulders asks the coaches what chance me getting much time as a slow inside mid in a team with seemingly oodles of them and the coaches told him what he didn't want to hear .... like Lyon at St Kilda not fighting for Ball because he wasn't a good fit, in his opinion, in the Saints midfield ...
We already have a slow, ball butchering inside mid (or 3) and we can't have too many of them ....
A couple of years ago when Ebert was being played inside more, Woosh said, after a Derby, that he liked the Ebert v Hasleby matchup in "2 years" which of course turned out to be sensible given Haslebys age - he was 27 when Woosh said that .... now Ebert goes because he cant get enough playing time in his preferred spot ahead of our 27 & 29 year old inside mids ... time will tell whether we have backed the right horses ....

If we can score 28+33 for Ebert and 45 then all that time invested in him and his high pick might eventually pay off.

One team wins that deal... clearly the Eagles.
How?
You get Ebo and Lynch who are easily valued a pick 6.
West Coast get Matera
Gold Coast would be the big losers maybe they'll demand one of your lower end picks.
None of it is speaking in relative terms either way, we both know it will never happen
no offence to ebert, but his heart has clearly been with port the entire time he's been at west coast. who remembers that inside 50 episode a while back where scooter said it was typical of ebert to be watching all the port games every weekend?
if he wants to leave after our club ignored all his flaws and saw the bright in him, then fine.
expect disposal efficiency to go up by 15%.
have fun at port adelaide with all the other failures, i'm sure you'll feel right at home.
ADIOS amigo.

Does it matter if it qualifies as a "first" or "second" rounder?
It's still the 28th pick, players aren't magically better because they are picked in the "first" round (i.e. what would normally be the second round in uncompromised drafts).
Just nitpicking, but yeah...
