Analysis 2016 AFL Trade Week Thread

[charcolechaddy]

Looks like the cows may have pissed of their top up club.

 

[PowerBaz]

A lot easier when high end talent tell their club "I want to go to Hawthorn"

Don't forget that is exactly the situation we were in the last two years.

Yeah but the Ryder deal from memory dragged on longer than War and Peace........

 

[PowerBaz]

Port's salary cap according to Damian Barrett

Barrett is like an umpire, seeks more attention than really he deserves, he just a journalist and nothing more.

Steven trigg calling someone unethical and at the crows as well lmfao

It's like Nick Kyrgios calling somebody a dill.

...

It's the same as people saying "I can't believe 19 players were picked before Nat Fyfe", or "haha why did Port draft John Butcher?"
...

And who is to say that if we had picked Fyfe instead of Butcher and played him as a HFF for half a game here and there we wouldn't be saying the opposite?

We got who we got. For whatever reason we weren't able to get the best out of them and that's that.

Zaine Cordy was pick 62 in 2014 fyi

I'd be hanging out to get GC to trade us their 2017 4th round to be honest, it looks like the cull year has been delayed 12 months, and we don't want to spend yet another offseason going "oh we can't delist anyone because its pick 102 better hang onto spuds forever and never try new blood out"

Its good to say in theory but fill your list with pick 60+ players and the magpies start getting reamed weekly, our juniors dont gain confidence, they dont develop, disenchantment grows, players leave the club, fans walk away, training levels decrease because our internal training sessions involve players practicing against SANFL reserves quality players, the players then play AFL on the weekend and get smashed because they are so shocked by the change im level between our training standards and the game, and then after all that we're sitting here in 5 years saying what the hell happened to our list like Carlton.


We need to turn over our list, i dont deny that. But we need to do it slowly. A quick and deep cull will send us to the bottom of the ladder and personally i dont want that. But i also think that'd be terrible for the club off field with all that weve set up.

I'm all for list turnover , but anyone with any sort of memory or the ability to use Google will see the successful clubs have done it while holding picks like 6,19,32, 38, 47 and 58.

Not 9,48,62,89

 

[philthy05]

If GC opened negotiations with a pick about 25 spots in the draft after they will start passing on draft picks, and in an area even Carlton could be passing on draft picks I hope we got up and left the room and told them to stop wasting our time with bullshit.

Pick 62 is all you got? Well, Scott Clayton. The jerk store called... They're running out of you!

Look just tell him you had sex with his wife, that'll get him!

Is it possible that Davies is as poor a negotiator as George?

Perhaps he should do the complete opposite to his instinct.

 

[RossFC]

Unlike Port Adelaide, this thread has delivered.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

We got nothing. Our list is shite and any currency we have is tied up in cushy long term contracts.

Hinkley, Davis and KT have been a ****ing disaster with this group.

In before but, but, but 2014......

MR STAR: Gentleman come in. Now we don't want to take up much of your time. Let's

make this short and sweet. We're prepared to offer you all the free coffee you

KRAMER: (Interrupting) I'LL TAKE IT!!

 

[CharlieKelly]

Just wondering, are there any delisted Free Agents Port could potentially sign? Since trade week has been underwhelming thus far

Aaron Black?
Jack Grimes?
Seb Tape?
Liam McBean?

I would definitely like us to have a good look at Aaron Black. He is still contracted though, I believe

[RossFC]

I'd take Black. Only because the club has murdered our forwards.

 

[Kingfish73]

Sorry. Last one. Just too many.

Pretty sure I read somewhere he's parted ways with the Roos

Yep, Norf board's contracts thread says he's contracted for next year.

We may as well just rename it "The Penske File" while we're at it.

Looking forward to next year's 100% cotton Back in Teal home guernsey.

Kyrgios is awesome. You'll regret not getting in on the ground floor.
