News Chad Wingard traded to Hawthorn for ... dammit who is peeling onions?

[MrPortAdelaide]

Melbourne can hold out for 2 first round picks for Hogan, so why can't we.

i would argue pick 15 & burton are 2 first round picks, Burton was rated as a top 5 pick in his draft year and only slid because of injury concerns, now he's had 2 years development and is a justifyable top 10 pick of that year

An existential crisis?

when the world is ****ed up we go to Port Adelaide footy for hope...

Where to now Ports..

6'1 ain't that tall anymore anyway.

Damn millennials.

Tell me about it. When with people my generation (I'm 45), I'm taller than 80-90% of guys. On the street or anywhere with those 18 - 25 and it's only taller than 60-65%. At least I get to have the satisfaction of the majority of those 25+ being fat, regardless of if taller than me or not, whilst I've avoided the middle aged spread. Yeah, I'll take spitefulness as a guilty pleasure there

Nathan Buckley
Brett Montgomery won an all Oz at Port didnt at Dogs
Martin Pike was better at North than Melbourne and even better at Brisbane
Paul Salmon
Barry Hall - not as good at his third
Garry Ablett - stats better at GC just his team was shit
and so on

Gary Ablett Senior wins this by a mile !
Paul Salmon was team of the century at Essendon and Hawthorn. He was a goalkicking machine before he was injured at Essendon.

So far, we have.

Burton was picked at 19 from memory ?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Proof is in the pudding

As I thought..

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Burton was picked at 19 from memory ?

Date of birth 31 January 1997 (age 21)
Original team(s) North Adelaide
Draft No. 19, 2015 national draft

 

[Andre]

So far, we have.

We just need to keep playing a straight bat. Hawks started with an average offer, then have just gone 'poo', 'poo', 'a different coloured poo', in the hope that when they come back next week with '15, Burton, a second for Chad and a third', that CD goes 'Well that's certainly better than poo, we'll take it!'. After the rest of this week, I have 0 faith we'll stay strong when it reaches the last day or two and the Hawks haven't budged anywhere near enough. They know when push comes to shove our club rolls over.

What has the random (crap) thoughts thread now merged with this one?

 

[Tredz]

Mate, I love life, I love living, I'm happy. I'm the last person you need to worry about being happy.

I ain't that special though lol. Just a cog in the machine.

You do realize however that saying you "ain't that special though" in fact makes you special.

I still reckon Wingard will stay and sign a contract extension.

Would he be happy if we pay some of Chad's wages too.

 

[DaTBird187]

We're not getting much better than 15 and Burton. We will huff and puff for a while though.

Then we don't trade him. We're not being forced into anything.

"And Port fans Burton for Wingard as a straight swap?"

Remember the show called the three stooges. That image I posted reminded me of these guys.

 

[MrMeaner]

Any comment that a trade is 'overs' ignores that Chad is contracted and merely a RFA next year, so we have much of the power in the negotiation. At least, that's how I would consider it if I were conducting Port's negotiations. I can only hope CD et al also take that view.

Hope not. Yes there's the possibility of him tearing it up for Hawthorn but I feel he's peaked with us. Get rid of him and get someone who is motivated and wants to be here.

I actually reckon Wildy makes Rowe seem intelligent.
