What classy, skinny, half back flanker can we see fall to us at pick 19 or 30?

Carn, look at those expected to go late in the 3rd or 4th round, pretty sure we have a real chance of scoring this talent for a couple of years before we ultimately fail to develop them and delist them.

****ing pissed off with CD and Jason ****ing Cripps.

CD - isnt he a bloody SACA big fish? Well he is showing that a big fish in SA circles is a ****ing minnow anywhere outside of SA!
 
As I have said earlier it really is a strange trade by your mob unless you know of potential slider/smoky that will be around pick 19. Realistically where do you think your club will finish next year?
You may have 2 picks in a row.
 
Are we resourcing our list management and recruiting team enough? Cripps just seems to be a guy we gave a list management job to because we didn't want to sack him from his assistant coach role, a bit like what we've done with Shaun Hart. To use the points system as his opening argument is really embarrassing. This is your full time job and you've come to a decision based on a simple formula any dumb arse could use.
 
Told you this clown needed to be sacked along with Parker.

Absolutely ****ing clueless.

I could get behind it if he said 'We rate this draft' 'We've got an eye on a number of players we want that will be there in the second round' etc.

But this bullshit points reasoning, when we don't have an academy to justify it? Relying on the word of other list managers to rate the draft? Why the **** would they tell you whether it's a good draft or not, you incompetent infantile ignoramus - they are in competition with you!

**** off Cripps, seriously.
 
I never, ever thought I would hear an official of the club my family has supported for well over 100 years use words in public like `breaking even, ' and `11th.' :(
Big Bob would be spinning in his grave!

Re Cripps, didn't he play 3 or 4 uninspiring games for the Maggies some years back, and then p*ss off for a better deal back in Vic?

If it was him, maybe it's time he p*ssed off again. :rolleyes:
Im like you just cant believe what im reading today on this fourm. Its not the same Port Adelaide we grew up with.

At this stage about round 6.

I agree with Janus on something. #endtimes

Something else going on trade wise eh? Cripps snuffed any hope of that out.

What a ****ing cluster****.

Even though I'm still angry, I've been thinking about our ****ing abysmal trade.

The logic goes Picks #19 & #30 are roughly equivalent to Pick #8. Pick #8 goes to the 11th ranked team. Now, in isolation, trading pick #8 for #19 & #30 in any given year is ****ing moronic. This means we would need to finish higher than 11th so the trade looks like a slight win instead of ****ing moronic. If we finish say 8th, we end up ahead on points and have the R2 pick which offsets giving up Pick #11 and thus a win. If we finish top 4, then effectively we've won the trade. If we have a bad year, we're double ****ed. I would expect nothing less than a total clean out of the football depart if we finish anything lower than 8th next year.
 
Right now I feel like president snow in the hunger games right after the mocking jay shoots her arrow not at him.
