I preferred it when Port weren't making any trades, can we go back to that Port please

Send Chris Davies to exile island for the rest of the trade period.

 

[Spadge]

I just think we all need to take a step back, and look at how the trade period plays out as a whole before we go loco.

This is not a one and done trade. Some shuffling and re-jigging to come.

The problem with the way our club has been for the last 2 years we all know this is exactly the sort of stupid shit we would do

That is very true, I'm starting to suspect we are trying to get ourselves 5 picks inside 30, or something similar.

Hopefully CD is posturing and looking to blindside them

There is no outcome that allows us to lay off against PAFC failure as well as Port keeping its 2017 first rounder

 

[Seanybruz]

Bring back the hypno-Rohde, if only for the drama of him throwing manilla folders at everyone and storming out at the mere possibility of being bent over in a deal like this.

 

[Doctor Feel]

 

[manureid]

You know when the supporters of the other clubs in the deal are saying you are getting reamed in a deal.... ffs.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Brett Anderson seems to believe there is some method to this madness and that Port are doin well out of this. There is something else to it - no doubt

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Sure does put alot of pressure on nailing the picks in the draft.. from the men that brought us Harvey n' Shaw post pick 20 I have zero confidence

 

[Adz2332]

Brett Anderson tweeted saying the "deal is good for Port, more to it. I'll explain more soon".

 

[Portia]

I wonder if the club appreciate the off field disaster it will be if we have a shit year next year and no prospect of even getting an elite player for our trouble

It's completely pointless. Like why are we even involved? Why are we helping two rival clubs facilitate a trade and then coming out worse on top? There is literally no scenario that plays out in our favour as a result of this.

Sure does put a lot of pressure on the whole club to perform in 2017, otherwise we've just burnt our best pick since Wingard on 19 and 30.

Plus 67, you know just to put a cherry on top of this shit sundae.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Awfulness of the deal aside, I feel like trading our 2017 1st is strongly tempting fate. Lock us in for a bottom 4 season if we do it.

 

[Black 18]

Should be fun next year.

Average season - possibly. And a pick in the 30's to look forward to at the end of the year unless we have lost a couple of young guns because they are now fed up with the averageness that has engulfed this Club of late.

Exactly this.

Worst part is, if it all goes to shit, the people responsible for ****ing us over would already have been sacked. We won't be able to sack them a second time.

Ken definitely wouldn't care, he's already been told by Koch & co that if we miss finals next year he's getting the ass.

This moves reeks of trying to rectify our over trading away of draft currency in recent years by continuing to use future picks, it's like the deadbeat guy at a casino continuing to play with credit when he's already $10k in debt & knows he's about to have his legs broken.

 

[Steve Dore]

LOL at people wanting the much maligned Peter Rohde back in change of trading

 

[Lagooner]

How so? Is CD getting a wristy from Clayton?

 

[ScooterBrother]

Not usually a fan of this type of post, but **** it, sounds like some positivity is needed...

I have heard that Charlie Dixon and Ken Hinkley have spoken to O'Meara in the last couple of days.

 

[Adz2332]

im juuuust holding back until i hear the rest of this deal... or if it is even a cert to go through.....
as it stands i cant see thats all the details

 

[Doctor Feel]

Exactly this.

Certainly smells of "all in" by everyone at the club. If this fails, they will all have to fall on their sword.
