‘Best 22 player’ lol. Nice broad label. Dustin Martin and Sam Gray are both ‘best 22 players’ but I somehow doubt they’d have similar worth on the trade table.
Don't shoot the messenger. These were the words Janus used:
You're talking about a Pick 7 who is 22 years old, starting 22 and an integral part of our list with 100 games experience, playing one of the hardest positions on the ground. Plus he's contracted and has absolutely no links to Gold Coast.

Let's do a like for like comparison:

Ollie Wines
  • 2013 pick 7
  • 22 years old
  • Best 22 player
  • Plays as an inside midfielder
  • Played 107 AFL games
  • Contracted
Dion Prestia
  • 2010 pick 9
  • 23 years old (when traded)
  • Best 22 player (when traded)
  • Played as an inside midfielder (when traded)
  • Played 95 AFL games (when traded)
  • Uncontracted
Pretty similar with the exception of the contractual situation. Player worth based on ability is subjective and the role each individual plays varies based on the players around them and team structure so all you can really do to show concrete evidence in terms of ability is point to statistics. I can't be bothered actually going through it but I think both averaged a little over 25 disposals a game in 2016 (Prestia) and 2017 (Wines). I'm sure Ollie was better in most areas but I don't think the gap is as large as you're making it out to be.

Get the **** out of here


If you think Prestia is even remotely close to as good a player as wines is then you wouldn't know the difference between a football and the foot that should be in your ass

They've been offered contracts so they have to be traded for.
They (Young and Ah Chee) have?
And I don't think they have to be traded. I accept it's easier for them to get to another club if we trade them in the dying days of their current contracts. But if we don't they can go in the PSD.

If we got O'Brien, we probably wouldnt go after Watts (perhaps we're chasing him now as Watts has indicated he wont come to Port).

I could imagine Impey being involved, and perhaps we'd give them our 2nd round pick next year for their (2nd or 3rd rounder) pick this year.

I'm very firm in my belief that Wines is the better of the two but I think Prestia is being a bit underrated here. He was a top 5 player in the GF this year and had many exceptional games for the Suns.

? For obrien ? He would be a straight swap for impey. Absolutely no reason we would have to give up anything extra.
