Cats key in Pavlich deal

[Jack-Packenham]

Geelong are apparently the key in Port Adelaides attempts to get Pavlich to Alberton.

Port believe it will take 3 1st round picks to get Pav or 2 1st round picks + Nathan Krakouer & Michael Pettigrew.

Geelong who were super keen on Travis Boak at last years draft are believed to have offered their first pick this year + a fringe player either J Hunt or S Byrnes to Port for Boak.

Port would then send their 1st pick + Geelong 1st pick + Krakouer & Pettigrew to Fremantle for Pavlich.

Interesting. Where did you read that Jack

Any more info on Boak

I cant use question marks cause of this funny french keyboard!!

 

[catswhiskers]

Very interesting Jack.

The quality of last years draft is apparent - a beauty. What is this years bunch like?
If the next draft is not flash then the scenario you mention would be good for the cats. I would just add that a midfielder like Kelly might be interesting for them- they get a match ready inside midfielder (to replace Boak) and Kelly would compliment their outside mids very well.

 

[catswhiskers]

I forgot about Tenace (a youngish top ten pick) he might be of more interest than Kelly.

source???

 

[rizzo]

Would be very interested if that deal comes off. Boak is a super player.

 

[goal sneak]

Would take more than pick 16 + Byrnes or Hunt to get Boak. Boak would have went top 3 in this years draft so i don't think there is anyway the cats would be able to get him without losing a topliner.

 

[Catter]

Why would we give up a first round pick and a fringe player, for Boak. For surely we wont. I realise Boak has potential, but what the point when we have arguably the best midflied going around.

I don't believe Jack's record on these things is too crash hot...

Chris Bond to be the next senior coach

Maybe as early as next week !!!!

And another...

I think Jack has been visiting La La Land again

Rumour also has it that they may throw in Bartel & Gary Jnr alongside J.Hunt as well as Byrnes just to get Boak to skilled......Cuckooo Cuckoo

 

[Ling Sting]

about the only thing he's predicted right is the eventual demise of hank.

Its all well and good to post a big rumour like this and as good as it sounds you really do need to provide a source to give it some credibility. Until that is given then it is all just gossip.

 

[worthogs]

Boak isnt worth a first round and a fringe player, even if he was in a super draft, he is yet to prove himself and the fact that you can not trade a 1st year player. Pav is not worth 3 round 1 picks and will not go anywhere!

Port will not let any of their young first round picks go, they do not have a big history of trading (young player types not the Byron types).

 

[cat_fanatic]

Please stop asking for a source... its bulllshit for crying out loud!

I'd love to have Boak at the catery but i think we have all the midfield depth we need to see us through our premiership window. Hunt is more of an asset IMO than Boak would be over the next four or five years.

Unless Tenace or Byrnes were part of the deal i wouldn't bother. Kelly and Hunt are too good to give up at the peak of their careers.


Edit: the above post is correct - draftees have to stay with their clubs for at least 2 years so this thread is stupid.

Because Boak will easily be a better prospect then whoever we take at say #15-16 in the upcoming draft.

Boak went pick#5 in argubly the best draft we have seen to date. Over the past 3 weeks he's averaging around 18 disposals.

I would love for this deal to happen, but I can't see it happening for that price. I would offer Tenace, Byrnes and a 1st rounder for Boak if that would seal the deal. Port may have some interest in Varcoe instead though, who's a South Australian.

Would you do Varcoe plus a 1st for Boak?

Varcoe

What drug are you on buddy?????????????? Boak is another midfield type which if you look at the 2ns we have got them knocking on the door. We got the better of the deal with Selwood and Port had that chance and blew it. Varcoe is from NT by the wayv and who would this board sponsor if he left!!!!!

biggest load of crap i have ever heard in mylife just a guy who is bored and made up shit!

I like Varcoe too, but he can be replaced, because you can find good small forwards who can give you excellent defensive pressure. Alwyn Davey in the draft is a perfect example.

Selwood has made more of an impact at this stage then Boak obviously. However, Boak would have better skills by foot, and would probably be the more classier midfielder of the 2 in the future.

If there's a chance to grab Boak for a pick plus a player, we should jump at the oppurtunity. We're still IMHO missing that midfielder who can really deliver the ball by foot, midfielders such as Corey and Kelly (trade bait for a 1st, early 2nd pick) don't have good skills by foot. Travis Boak does.

 

[The Hulkster]

Just close the thread, as was said earlier Boak cannot even be traded as he was only drafted last year. End of story.

Not true.

You can trade anyone.

17 year olds MUST be given a 2 year contract at the time of draft..and I assume Boak is on a 2 year contract regardless.

Doesnt mean Port can't delist him or trade him.

For example, if they were to delist him, he wouldn't be on their list next year, but they would still be paying him (under the salary cap too) until his contract runs out.

We did this with Alan Obst last year who we drafted in 2005, to get more picks in the 2006 super draft. Whilst he's not on our list, he's still being payed inside our salary cap until the end of this year.

Fair enough, but i doubt Port would trade Boak to us and continue to pay him unless we pay them what their paying him if you know what i mean.

Well they wouldn't, we would pick up the remainder of his contract I presume. They would only keep paying him if they were to de-list him, which certainly is not going to happen.

Pavlich trade is a pipe dream let alone our involvement.
We need to re-stock Big Key Defensive positions for the loss of Harley,Milburn and Scarlett in 2-3 years time.

If we keep our 1st pick, we could well use it on a speedy key defender (in the mould of a James Frawley).

We could also pick up Adan Donohue on a F/S, as we probably need a speedy small defender as well for the future.

But I think if we have the chance to get Boak (who would be a top 3 pick this year), we should make every endeavour to do so.

A Boak and Selwood combo in the midfield for the next 10 years, would well just be fantastic.
