I rate him but I don't. Think the club is desperate to land Lever without losing next years 1st and this is a trade we may have to make.
I'm sure that's their thinking yeah ... but with a team of ordinary kicks of the footy, trading out the best we've got feels fraught with danger.

Why meeting with Port though? I suppose Adelaide are otherwise occupied.

Presumably, if you'd get port's first (11ish) then package that with your first, that should get the lever deal done.

Two first rounders seems like a very high price, but I suppose you always pay more to extract a player.

Port don't have a first rounder. Pick 29 is their first pick
Just checked that out myself ... No way 29 gets that done. It's surely gotta be a case of "if a great deal too good to be true comes up we'll trade him, but if not we're happy to keep him"

Port have all sorts of cap issues don't they? they'd be looking to trade out a player
Hamish Hartlett again perhaps
It was reported a few months back that port will be in the bottom third of clubs for cap spend in 2018. Almost none of our contracts had increased tied to the salary cap increase, Trengove was one of our higher paid players, their was some relief due to Ryder and Monfries not being on the books last year, and to be frank, the stories of our earlier cap issues were inconsistent.

FWIW I don't know how we could trade for Watts with what we have as currency, and gave no idea what you would want. I expect our focus is still on the free agents we are looking at.

No cap issues here, actually have plenty of cap room because of the way our existing contracts are structured regarding CBA pay increases (it's a long story I won't bore you with). Hartlett is on a long term contract and has to agree to any trade, he made it very clear 12 months ago that he isn't going anywhere. Jarman Impey would be more likely.

Surely the dees are after draft picks for the lever trade, neither Hartlett nor Impey fit into the Melb side.
I really hope we stay clear of Hammer.

A thought. Maybe melbourne had offered the crows a 1st round pick and watts but maybe the crows said no. Could port could be offering a 2018 first for him and that pick with melbourne's 2017 pick could be offered to the crows?

The only stuff we could offer is our next years first round pick, a compo pick for Trengove (if we get one) or a few of our fringe players, Aaron Young, Jarman Impey, Brendan AhChee, or maybe young key back Logan Austin.

I can't see any Watts deal happening though, I think the media is making this up.

I can see some sort of bundle with Ah Chee being involved.

If Jack is traded wouldn't mind one of Darcy Byrne Jones, Dan Houston, Logan Austin coming our way.

Don't know if Port cough up Houston and 29 but I'd be happy with that, Houston can play half back and is still a young kid, and Port coaches don't seem to rate him as much as they should. Still a young kid as well.

Although I'd rather see Frost get a go at half back, if Goody doesn't give Frost the opportunity then Houston is still a very solid option.

Not sure where you got that info. He's rated very highly around the club. Probably the most reliable kick in our team and a best 22 lock in for years to come.
