Good win Bombers, your pressure was ridiculous. Adjusted to the conditions far better than we did. 92 tackles! Probably a wake up call that Port needed when Hinkley amazingly decided that losing our two best KPD's and our back up ruck and replacing them with a half back flankers and two mids was...
Monfries has been flying the flag for his teammates probably moreso than any other Port player this year (it truly warmed my heart to see him sledging and niggling Troy Chaplin earlier this year after Chaplin cheap-shotted Schulz. I think that was the moment when I truly 100% accepted Monfries...
The problem for Port in this game IMO is that our greatest strengths as a side (good skills, willingness to take the game on, excellent fitness) are also Essendon's greatest strengths as a side. When we played Sydney and Collingwood, who are generally more contested teams, we were able to match...
Sorry to interject (this thread is good fun though), but calling somebody jumping off of the ground to bump somebody else who had his head over the ball an 'attempt at a fair hip and shoulder' is probably the most delusional thing in this thread. I would be interested to hear how someone can...
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
Hinted that he was going to re-sign at Port sooner rather than later in a recent interview. Would be a good acquisition if you could get him though, he just needs to get out from under Choco and he'll be a star.
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
Some of the offers in here are hilarious. Seriously, imagine what your mob would want for someone like Pears. That's what we'd want for Boak.
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
In that case, I doubt Port would take that. Daniher wouldn't add anything we don't already have. I'm sure we'd rather just do Reimers + first rounder for Boak.
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
Who's DD? I doubt we'd take that by the way, unless DD is someone quality. Reimers and a first rounder would probably be about our asking price for Boak IF he wanted out (and if not it would be more), so unless 'DD' is worth a second rounder we would't take it.
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
So do I. I also think that Hurley will end up a better player than Pears. That doesn't mean that Pears has any less trade value than he would if Hurley wasn't better than him (not to Port because we already have enough young KPD's, but to someone who needs KPD's)
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
Anyone could potentially end up being a better player than anyone else. But on the balance of probabilities, Boak is very likely to end his career as a superior player to Zaha and Reimers.
Re: Travis Boak -> Essendon?
This thread makes me laugh. Boak for Monfries? That's like us offering Davenport for Zaharakis.
BTW, Hooker is just about the last bloke on your list who we'd want. We already have enough quality young KPD's to last us until 2020, if Hooker came to Port he'd be...
