Lol if we trade 11 for 16 and 22 in a crap draft

I think it means we want the suns number 6 pick

Might have, just wasn't well written.

I highly doubt we can get pick 6 anyway.

Sanders will go home to Tassie. They need local talent to legitimise their start up team/club. It will definitely happen. You can’t blame the kid at all, he will be set up for life, and be part of history. And it may be a good thing that we know now. Only one player per club can be poached, so that means Frejiah or Darcy or Croft or Hynes and Dolan, it won’t be.

Man I just had a thought. Maybe we were so desperate to get Sanders because we knew Tassie would come for him over our other young stars?! If so, that's legitimately 4D chess by our list managers. We have a LOT of players whom I would hate to lose more than Sanders.

It is what it meant, just horribly disjointed.

 

[BigFloppa]

The Dogs are working on a couple of big moves behind the scenes that neither the media nor our ITKs are aware of. I don't know anything but I know enough to know that Sam Power is masterminding some hectic shit.

Suns would get better offers anyway

 

[Redders98]

Anyone got any idea why we’re after the suns pick 6?

Wouldn’t have anything to do with Butters would it? Hmmm

Pick 6, 2026 first pick, 2027 first pick?

Is that enough?

No that wouldn’t be enough for Butters

Doubtful it has anything to do with him

Wouldn't say it isn't enough. That would be close, it's 3 first rounders, at least 1 being top 10.

But it won't have anything to do with him

The part of the Tassie agreement I'm happy about is that there is no direct pathway through which they can poach contracted players. It substantially limits the pool of our players they can access without needing to offer an insane trade deal. Their signing bonus will be used ahead of the 2028 and 2029 seasons, meaning the following players are the only ones that they could poach without any push back:

2026:

Ryan Gardner
Ryley Sanders
Jordan Croft
Rhylee West
Jamarra Ugle Hagan
James Harmes
Harvey Gallagher

Luke Cleary

2028:

Laitham Vandermeer
Sam Davidson
Josh Dolan

A lot of players we'd prefer not to lose there but nothing spectacularly terrible (yet - obviously some of these guys might develop to the point where it's a problem), with plenty of time to seek to extend before then. The signings of Darcy, Richards, Naughton and Bont were huge.

They can match a deal next year and perhaps get more anyway doesn’t matter Port Adelaide have no need to trade him this year.

Is there a restriction on how many Tassie can take from each Club ? Would hate to lose 2 or 3 who are out of contract in 2027 and 8 while sides like Geelong lose no one

Never say never, Port aren't the smartest list management group.

The key is Butters needs to ask out now and that is unlikely

I thought the same thing, for a moment then remembered we really wanted the Wizard but he was picked just before Sanders. Watson would be just what we needed.

Zac probably would of asked to be traded if Port Adelaide were interested going down that path

 

[perro_loco]

I see him as more of an oliver type than Petracca.

I actually see alot of upside in Hynes. Big body, has good skills and appears to be a smart kid, not a dk. I spoke to him a couple of times and he has his head in the right place imo. I think he will be good.

A maximum of one uncontracted player from from each club can be signed as a free agent otherwise they'd need to trade.

If the club gets Gold Coast pick 6 in this years draft who do you think the club have its eyes on. Just asking because you are pretty good when it comes to this stuff

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Saints flogs calling our pursuit of Wilkie as a "debacle ":

"
Bains is weak and shafted Chris Grant because Grant disagreed withn Beveridge.
Beveridge is way more powerful at that club than Lyon will ever be at the Saints.
The Wilkie debacle was completely instigated by Beveridge who ran roughshod over Power.
When it wrnt belly up as Power said it would, don't be surprised if he gets blamed."

Lol morons

Morons is taking a failed coach for a second time.
