:rolleyes: Apparently the crows are looking at him, I was wondering what the opinions of other crows supporters are on the topic. At the risk of sounding impartial why on earth are we even considering picking him up? He's a dud! I would give Port our 4th pick for him, 3rd at best-so in reality its not going to happen. Say NO to Damon White AFC fans!

We offered our first rounder 2 years ago and they rejected it I think. This year they'll be after our 1st and 2nd rounders probably. One thing you should learn- never trade with PA especially if you are the Adelaide Football Club.
 
You know all the Port fans are going to come in here and vote yes :D

He's a dud. We should've learnt about trading for duds a long time ago. It seems we haven't.

I swear we must send a couple of Donkeys in to negotiate the trades. Oh right.... we do :o

Thats absolutely ridiculous, first round alone was and is too much.
 
I'm am going to shit a brick and put it on Neil Craigs desk if Damon White is at the Crows next year.
 
Just out of interest, been up in queensland this year and don't care much for the powers news so don't really know as much as i used too. What has Damon White done this year, has he played much AFL or has he been SANFL most of the time?

In a different environment then he may flourish and kick your 30-40+ goals a year. Or he may not. He shows glimpses of very very good play but struggles to consistently show it.

The most Port can hope for is a 2nd rounder. But then again theres been some strange trades over the years...like trading first rounder for Ted Richards etc. So you never know.

Port have said they want to keep him so I don’t think we will accept any old offer. He’d be handy for some clubs in the league, not the Crows though.

no thanks - we have wasted enough 2nd round draft picks over the last decade+ trading for big blokes who arent going to make it

anyway we have resigned McGregor and if need be i'ld rather have an underdone Tippett or Sellar play there
 
We are fairly limited however for AFL ready tall forward options, particulalry if Trent does recover as hoped and Kenny has a 2007...
 
For obvious reasons, I'll abstain from voting.

Of course, I think the Crows trade aggressively for Damon - he would be the best pick up through trading since Matthew Bode... I think Adelaide should offer their first pick for him....:D







Jokes aside, he is clearly not worth a first round pick at the moment. He is useful for list stability and depth (he is our natural back up should Tredders or the Hoff get injured), so I expect Port to retain him unless a suitable trade offer materialises.

He may prove a good pick up though if he fits a certain team structure. I actually think he could be useful to the AFC as a lead up forward to support transition from Defence to the forward 50, to replace Ian Perrie. He was good for Port in this role earlier in the year prior to Tredrea's return, and many of us were hoping he had turned the corner and learnt how to bring his SANFL form to the AFL. Unfortunately, when Tredrea returned, Damon quietly disappeared...


However, that role is not worth a huge amount, and I think Port will hold him to his contract unless we are able to replace him on our list with another tall forward prospect with some AFL experience.

Correct. What we were thinking to offer that? And worse, what were Port thinking to turn it down? :D

Thankfully McGregor is signing on to save us from White.
 
I couldnt belive we offered a first round pick last year. Even harder to believe is they knocked it back! Now their stuck with him. FWIW, I dont believe the AFC are at all interested. I think the rumour is more likely to have come from Port in an attempt to offload him, if its not just a BF bullshit rumour.
