4 picks inside 21 is a ripping handI'm starting to think some of our supporters are as dumb as Carlton fans.

So Freo traded out 6 for 11 and later picks, only to trade Neale for 6 back in, with some more picks?
Not bad businessSo Freo traded out 6 for 11 and later picks, only to trade Neale for 6 back in, with some more picks?
surely Freo get Hogan.So Freo traded out 6 for 11 and later picks, only to trade Neale for 6 back in, with some more picks?
Do people on here realise how bad our squad depth is?4 picks inside 21 is a ripping hand
a heap of AFC fans having melts because they think Port are masters of everything.I’m like 100 pages behind lol, anything happening today?
Agree it’s just an unusually turn of events. Reid come out saying top picks are almost never traded and here’s freo getting involved in traded out then in the same top pick.Not bad business
It already did, assuming you were born pre-1997.
Yeah, Port put a big sold sign on the for sale sign out the front of the farm.I’m like 100 pages behind lol, anything happening today?

I agree we will likely miss the SA lads, but it's not a fail if the cost of getting them was too high, ie saints have said they want 8, 13 and 16 for pick 4 which is too high imo. If we don't have the currency on our own there is no point making other clubs stronger just to get an SA lad.I agree with what you've said in theory but the reality is that we don't have a big enough or shinny enough sink to throw anywhere, except maybe at the Saints pick, for there to be a realistic chance of trading up.
If GC are set on 2 particular players why would they even consider giving away 2 & 3 when keeping those picks guarantees they get who they want and they have a heap more picks to play with as well.
If we wait till draft night to move up we'll need to give away the whole house not just the kitchen sink to even have an outside chance.
If we keep our current hand I don't see we get any of the SA trio, and if we don't and we've been tracking and preparing for this draft for years then that would be a fail.
Hope I'm wrong and you're right but at this stage I think it points more to us missing the boat on the SA lads.
If we’re gong to trade up I think only 6 & 7 are realistic and actually they’re perfect because other teams want players they can retain.
1. Walsh to Carlton
2. King/King/Smith to GC
3. King/King/Smith to GC
4. King/Smith to Saints
5. Rankine to Power
6. Luko to Crows
7. Rozee to Crows
(2021: Rankine to Hawthorn)
Perfecto.
So if we can get Pick 7 first, it’s really just a one-place swap with a team who knows Rozee is much higher risk to them anyway.
THEN swapping 8 for 6 is essentially the same ... the othe club knows exactly what they’re missing and getting because the SA clubs’ targets are obvious.
Could it even be done leaving us a pick in the 20s for a Hamish special?

Basically, I'd love for us to throw a curve ball tonight but it wont.I never said it wasn't. Just that our narrative writes itself.
Yeah, Port put a big sold sign on the for sale sign out the front of the farm.
Maybe not, Essendon still need to do the Shiel trade.Done ... We are going to the draft
Bookmark this for next time people want to keep someone that wants out of the CrowsWell yes again. **** Bigfooty, you can't say anything on here without it being misconstrued.
Yes they were both good contributors, and port will miss that kind of input, but they were also the centre of the latest disharmony at Port. Getting rid of that is a good thing for any team.
