G'day Lions fans. Will be a great game, two young sides playing exciting footy and exceeding expectations. Genuinely not sure which way this one will go. Win or lose though, we can all agree on one thing, f*** Jared Polec.
Surely you blokes don't really want Lobbe, do you?
If there's a half-eaten sandwich lying around the club kitchen somewhere, hold onto it for trade bait.
I wasn't too keen either until I watched Shuey, Priddis, Mitchell, Redden and Sheed collectively butt* us on the inside last Saturday night.
Outside of Wines and the still very raw SPP, most of our mids are better on the outside. And we don't really have a midfielder who just consistently...
Well, we also gave up picks 49 and 67, although we didn't have the list space to use them anyway. I guess you could say it was 2016 11 + 49 + 67 and 2017 12 for SPP, Marshall, Atley and Drew. But I've talked about Port on the Brisbane board more than enough so after this post I'll leave you to it.
So if we'd played the Eagles three hours earlier we would have beaten a 'top 8' side? If that doesn't show how ridiculous the 'they weren't top 8 at the time' qualifier is, I don't know what would.
We've beaten two top 8 sides, Sydney and West Coast. Maybe some people would have been more...
I must admit that on the bus home last night I did think of this thread and the fact that it was Polec who gave away that free. But hey, if Dixon, Gray, Boak and Wingard hadn't messed up 14 shots at goal between them, Polec never would've been in a position to cost us the game with a poor tackle...
Last year's corresponding fixture was a 15 goal win to Port, but John Butcher out makes us a 100 point a game worse side, so I'm tipping the Lions in a close one.
If you can get Port from looking like they did a month ago in the JLT to looking like they do now, you need to use these powers for good. Start a 'death-riding war in the Middle East' thread. ISIL will pack up their guns and Israel and Palestine will shake hands and agree to disagree within a week.
The Pies are uncompassionate campaigners. The failure of your (very fair IMO) offer of one very good and one good draft pick to be accepted is based on their big 4 delusion that players from smaller interstate clubs would just be falling over themselves to play for the so-called 'big clubs'...
My God the Saints are ****ing sillys. 25 and 41 for Longer is a massive bargain, and still allows them to keep their stupid arbitrary '3 picks in the top 20' stated goal. And it doubly shits me as a Port supporter, because if the Saints were willing to give up a fair price of 18 or 19 for Longer...
Because Port obviously want a better pick than one of your mass second rounders to go with Polec in return for #14. I think #25 (which you could get from StK for Longer, although that would obviously be unders for him) is probably the highest pick that would get it done, unless it's 1:30pm on...
Adelaide could offer pick 1 and Dangerfield if they want, but it won't make a difference if Polec won't agree to be traded to them. Polec himself is probably the only person who knows the answer to that question for sure.
A guy on our board with an impeccable record for inside info reckons that the #14 for #20 and #27 deal with GC is agreed upon in principle and just waiting for the paperwork on Monday. So if his info is trustworthy (and he's never been wrong before) it looks like you guys will be getting one of...
We wouldn't have pick #14 and pick #27. We'd only get #27 if we traded #14 to GC for that and #20. If we traded #14 for Longer and #18, our next pick would be #34.
I'd do 14 and 34 for 18 and Polec, BTW.
I'm not saying that you couldn't, but why would you? Sending Polec to the draft and re-drafting him would a) be pissing away two first rounders, the one you didn't accept in a trade and the one you use to draft him, and b) be committing probably 250-300k over 3 years (previously drafted players...
See above. I've never known a club to re-draft a player who walked out on them against his wishes. Surely Brisbane wouldn't piss away two second rounders (and probably a 250k for 3 years or thereabouts contract, since as a previously drafted player Polec would be able to put a price on his head)...
You really think Brisbane would re-draft him? Has that ever happened?
It's a possibility, but I doubt it. Don't underestimate the hatred that the two SA clubs have for each other. I couldn't see the Crows or their supporters welcoming Polec with open arms now that he's publicly nominated...
Do you guys think pick 30 would get it done now that he's nominated us, or will Brisbane still push for more or let him go to the draft?
It'll benefit you guys if the Crows trade their way into a second rounder. That way Port won't have the power to just say 'second rounder or we'll draft...
If the Eagles think Yeo is only worth pick 40, Bootsma would be worth about pick 400.
I hope you guys do keep Yeo, or at the very least he goes to Freo. West Coast don't deserve him.
Sounds like Lyons will get traded to Melbourne if anything.
What happened to the Jarrad Grant to Brisbane rumour? Would be handy for a club like us or West Coast to get our hands on in a three-way trade and send him your way.
