Sounds like they're waiting for poort to finish the season then the discussions will start.
That's bitnof a lazy assumption

Maybe he is waiting to have lunch with Roo.... [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

All I am saying, we can all over analyse things from different angles..... we just need to wait and see

There is no rush for any player to declare there preference clubs at this stage, its not happening across the comp and they are not all joining Melb, Port or WB Screenshot_20210911-105744_Twitter.jpeg

I want the AFL salary caps made public.

It is impossible that our list is 95% of Ports now, never mind if they got yet another $7-800k a year player. I reckon they already have about a dozen.

It has to be, due to AFL rules.

So you're saying not to jump to conclusions, then conclude that because his favourite player growing up is roo, he is coming to us or having lunch with roo?

I think my assumption isn't lazy, it's probably just the most simplest and probable at this stage.

Saying things everyone else is saying like he was a crow fan or he wants to go to a club that's successful right now (which could change in a year, see Melbourne) or the potential of the youth in a squad, all these theories don't mean anything. It's mostly money and best deal. Hence why I think discussions will start between Dawson, crows and poort when poort finish their season. It's a pretty level headed assumption.

It's probably fortunate we can't physically show him the shithole that is West Lakes training base. Must be fun training with dust flying about and construction noise around the clock.
We've been wearing masks before it was a thing
 
Maybe it's "Sydney sources" wishfully claiming Port are in the box seat only because Port are offering the Swans a better trade deal
Doubt serious discussions would have taken place given he just made his announcement.

Main thing in Port's favour is they are in the premiership window.

Main thing in our favour is plenty of cap space to offer plenty of cash.

Which club has the better trade value is irrelevant, as Dawson will choose which club.
 
How is Port even considering Dawson.. what can they offer that's even comparable to the Crows? They have sh*t all picks and won't have much cash on a year or two when they've got to renew the contracts for the younger players.

Sydney need a Ruck, so they will demand Port’s first pick and Hayes. Port will offer first pick and Ladhams. Reluctant to let Hayes go as he will be a very good ruck moving fwd and Lycett is now 29. Ladhams isn’t a first ruck material. If Port give up Hayes they could screw themselves in years to come if they don’t take advantage of current premiership window

Hickey finished 6th in their BnF and he missed games, they also rate very highly Naismith who has had injury issues but is out of their academy.

The they also have Sinclair who played some good games when Hickey went down......

Im not convinced Sydney will trade in another ruck

What?!?!

He would already know which club he’s going to and the salary he’s going for. He’s not just going to randomly announce he wants to shift to SA.

Probably depends, was it a case of the offer from us or Port was to good to refuse (with being in SA one of the factors) and he knows where he’s going. OR something changed in his life and now going home was a big priority, he knows that offers will come from both clubs and he’s waiting to see which deal is more attractive. It wouldn’t be the first time the second scenario has occurred.

Nah , you don't make life changing decisions without being pretty sure where you're going, not given the time Sydney had their offer on the table.

He already knows where he's heading, only thing that could change that now would be his preferred destination club not being able to satisfy Sydney's requirements which is highly unlikely.
 
The only thing I find odd is that his preferred destination club hasn't been strongly reported already.

Cerra to Carlton and Kelly to Essendon were both reported very quickly.

Maybe Dawson hasn't actually decided? Either that or he's off to Port and doesn't want to nominate them when they're still in finals.

If he had definitively chosen us I think we'd know

It’s not a coincidence that Dawson announced he’s out immediately after the Swans re-signed Parker. I’m not buying $700k over 5 years. I reckon the Swans offer is nowhere near that.

I was thinking is it a coincidence that Kelly was out the same day Dawson announced he was coming home? Were we going to keep Kelly until we knew we might have to make room for Dawson?

Then why announce his wish for a trade now?

You have made a statement as a fact that you cannot prove!

I never said no discussions had taken place, rather no serious discussions finalising a club & salary.

He knows he is in demand so making a decision to come home without locking something in is no risk.

Read on Port page that Doughty is his manager? Anyone know if that’s correct. Same guy reckons Dogga said a while back Dawson going to Crows on plenty

Edmund declared Balme a dine deal to Crows, and Cerra will only consider Carlton as an option

We know Balme is wrong, and Cerra is now also talking with Melbourne and Richmond

Edmund is also on record saying that sometimes jurno information can be misleading which is his way of saying he trolls bigfooty for his info [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Because Sydney only recently were knocked out of finals & he has made his mind up to come home.

Not exactly unusual timing...
