On Coast to Coast, Allen said that the club gave him (Jai) an extended break in Melbourne after surgery because he'd be rehabbing during what is the off-season period for everyone else. Hopefully, that indicates all party's intentions to get the contract sorted.
Edit: link for anyone interested...
It sounds to me like Port are being campaigners and offering something like pick 98 & Trent Dumont, while the club wants draft picks (specifically this year).
If that is the case, I like the strong wording.
It's possible that he was heading for top 10 this year, until Silly Billy Rioli made his late run for the #1 spot, and then Mof converted Rohan into a Lifetime Award & shuffled the order 🤷♂️
Now Knightmare's phantom draft has Geelong taking Robertson at 14 (WC original pick)
Will we go through all this TK business again? :drunk:

So Freo get 4 pick upgrade in this years second round and a (possibly) late second in a compromised draft next year for their 5th best player this year?
Ouch. Did Bell get spooked by the Saints?
Edit: Should make this a little easier
The Kelly trade with a reference on actual pick swaps rather than DVI;
I've omitted which year the picks take place for the sake of readability, but it does have the effect of locking in any picks that were "future" at the time.
This year (GWS & StK): 6 for 12 & 18
Last year (Freo & Port): 6 &...
Marginal overs, but glad to see it (hopefully) signed off! 🤞
Hopefully the later pick swaps are decent as it looks like we will be using later picks for the next two drafts
Edit: Very happy that we haven't shed any players too
