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.
Awesome, just to completely run our club into the ground we can use pick 9 & our 2018 first rounder on a bloke who's knees are shot and can join a number of our fragile players in spending more time in the medical room than on the playing field.

Wouldn't touch him with a charlie dixon sized pole.

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

If it fails they will all be sacked and then just happily move on to another job somewhere- another Club, media, whatever, whereas our Club will be messed up for years to come trying to rectify their errors when most can see the risk well before it's taken.
 
That is very true, I'm starting to suspect we are trying to get ourselves 5 picks inside 30, or something similar.

Hopefully there is much more to this but I'm worried.

Lets just say it went down this path and we ended up with the following, would we be happy?

Pick 9 = Taranto, SPS, Drew or Scrimshaw
Pick 19 = Battle, Scharenberg, SPP, Clarke, Witherden
Pick 30 = Florent (stretch), Berry, Galluci

OMG it's done

I've spent two years as a Ken Hinkley apologist. That ends now. You want to mortgage our future to try to save your job, for a deal that's not even that good, if we don't make finals next year you are out on your arse.

Desperate. I was happy with not trading actually. Clearly Ken and Co are going all in without caring about the future of the club post-2017. Very disappointing.
 
Yuck. We miss the 8 and this is terrible.

We better not on trade these picks.
 
Deal done.
Brett Anderson seems adamant its a good deal for Port - has mentioned it in a few tweets now. Be interesting to view the full picture which I'm sure will only emerge at the end of the trade period.
Until then, I will enjoy the melts.
 
You might just really like this draft. Plenty of good players tipped to go between 10-30.
