Without being disrespectful. That won't get it done. You underestimate how highly the coaching group rate him. Your 32 won't even be enough alone. He's contracted and they won't let him just walk for what they'd consider unders.
Have you visited the Port forum lately to see what they think of Impey? I learn't that he cannot kick, has no heart, has not natural position, should not even be let back into the club etc........such comments were consistently made before he announced his will to leave Port.

26 yo, two time premiership player and RFA has resigned?

Pretty happy personally, good role player who looked good up forward this year and he offers far more than what we would get in return for him.
Agreed. Earlier this year I wouldn't have been all that happy - but his form in the back-end of the season was good. Happy to have him there as depth.

Also a good sign that we have players staying loyal.

It has already been noted that there is a large difference in opinions of Impey as player between our club and the supporters.

But it is the opinion of the club is what counts during trade talks, and judging by Impey's constant selection when his form didn't warrant it, the club rates him.

Should Tom Mitchell be worried....we have a history of trading out Peter Crimmins medallists and runners up ;)
We only have 1 Peter Crimmins medallist on our list now... Tom Mitchell

Hodge, S mitchell, Sewell, Buddy, Gibbo and Lewis are the players in the last decade to win it and none are still hawks. Pretty crazy!

Most clubs have players that fall into this category. Hawks BF posters were about to kidnap Vickery early this year to get him off the ground. Even our premiership hero Josh Gibson kept getting games with horrible form until getting injured this year. At least Gibbo has runs on the board. Not sure Impey can claim the same.

Yeah lol at this. Last time I heard his name he was a good rookie pick for Supercoach players.
Sort of smells like a TV play from last year, having a dip at a talented early draft pick who hasn't quite cut the mustard. Could be a masterstroke, could be a bust.
