If Lonie is traded to Richmond i'm going to be mighty ****ed. Lonie is one of my favourite players and gives us drive in the backline.

Eh? On his day Lonie can be a very good player. Only half back flank i know that can drift up feild and bomb a 55metre goal every once and a while.

If Collingwood want Stevens, they have to organise a trade that suits Port. Therefore we have more bargaining power than them. Pretty simple really.
The only club we dont have bargaining power over is the bulldogs. And frankly I'd rather let him go there for nothing than get crap from some other club.
You idiot. It's a such a strong sellers market that Port will not get nothing for Stevens. They're playing hard ball right now, apparently not biting at Carlton's No 2 pick. Why are Carlton offering the No 2. when they have first dibs in the pre-season? Because they know someone will offer Port something for Stevens and something is better than nothing. Would have to be a huge turnaround to go from #2 to nothing.

Shane O’Sullivan, on SA radio, just confirmed (10 mins ago) that there is no way Carlton will give away pick 2 (for any player).
From what I gathered in that interview Carlton are pretty much hoping to lure him with the cash and get him through the draft.

After all the stuffing around that Nick & Ben Holland made the SA clubs go through, just to boost their values at the Hawks and Tigers, frankly they can go to hell.
I would want nothing to do with either of them, even if they were free, they can shove off and rot.

Stevens is worth a hell of a lot more than Lonie, Pies will have to give up alot more than that

The bargaining power Port have is that if anyone wants Stevens they will have to come up with a pretty good offer. There are quite a few clubs going for him so that does mean some bargaining power. Only the bottom 3 clubs have any chance at all of picking him up if he goes into the draft, and even they cannot be sure which one of them will be successful.
Port will deal. It is just up to the other clubs to come up with something acceptable.

I would have thought he might be a bit better than that.
yeah possibly so Stiffy, I think Adelaide would go after Holland and Rich 1st Round pick which from memory is Pick 6, which IMO isnt too bad. You lose a gun midfielder, but you alreasy have a few of those. Ben Holland could possibly be another target up forward and you get the 6th best kid in the land and IMO Adelaide need to blood the youngsters cos I think they will have a few lean years now.

Collingwood needs Lonie. He is a nitche player, nobody else can play his style.
There is no question we are interested in Holland and I know for a fact that Tigers have expressed interest in Doughty.
A few Melbourne based clubs have approached Adelaide for Goodwin but Adelaide are VERY unlikely to trade him. They would have to throw the Crown jewels at us to trade Goodwin.
If we trade any of our regular midfielders it would be Bode
I do see your point Stiffy, cos I rate Goodwin very highly and always have. IF the Tigers are interested in Doughty then IMO it would be a straight swap for Holland and no Pick 6.
The reason I came up with the Goodwin trade is I read that he was a possibility and the started thinking of places he could go, and automatically thought of Holland going to Adelaide and then made what I thought was a reasonable trade.

I think it would take a bit more than Doughty to get Holland.
AFC have assured Goodwin he is in their plans for 2004, so I would be very surprised if he is traded unless AFC do a dog thing like Dees did with Woewodin last year in which case I would not be happy at all.

So Richmond give up pick 6 and Holland, and all they get back is Doughty??
I dont think so
