It's Adelaide. Watch them try to throw their first at Ryder to try and stuff it up for us. And if that doesn't work throw their 2nd, since it's higher than ours at GC. New coach, new CEO, but same shit will continue.
Have heard they have no interest in Gorringe. As for Ryder, they can't fit it in their cap, given that they are trying to sign Walker, Sloane and Dangerfield beyond 2015, all of which will be on big deals.

So let me get this right, Essendon in the last few years have brought in (next years ages) Goddard 30, Chapman 34, Gwilt 29, Giles 27.

Their list management is getting crazy desperate. Their age profiling for a team that is in that 6-12 range is going to be quite off.

It's also scary for them that C-D grade players like Giles and Gwilt going to them are seen as wins.

They're basically picking up the scraps from the rest of the competition at the moment. I suppose you'd expect that when you're such a rabble but still their long term planning behind closed doors must be very interesting at the moment.

They'd be CRAZY to not take our pick 17, and hopefully get a couple good mids in with pick 17 & 20. With this sort of list planning, taking nothing for Ryder, would just be silly.

Essendon board struggling to get around the idea that Ryder has to agree to a trade... He wants to come to Port not GWS...
Essendon board struggles with a lot, don't tell them Giles is still contracted to GWS or else their heads might explode

They aren't the only club misreading their list. North is recruiting via the nations nursing homes and Adelaide refuses to admit they have a hole in their list from the excluded draft picks and trade out Clangerman to get picks to fix some. All three clubs unless they pull off a miracle in 2015 or 2016 are screwing themselves big time for the long term.

Facebook rumour I'll put it here on the chance it's in the mix. Are we about to lose a player to the Bulldogs?

Player or assistant originally put out there by SEN but all of our assistant coach's under contract?

They might claim to go into Black Ops mode but we go deeper under cover than that.

The official Port Adelaide Facebook page just posted a message not long ago telling people that notifications can be turned on in the official Port app to tell you of any trades that the team lands. Is this a hint, hint "we're about to land a player (or 2) soon???

Nah I think North are bang on with their list reading. Their average age and experience levels mean that the prelim final they made shouldn't have been a shock. They are a few years ahead of us in development and have to shit or get off the pot. They are making some very intelligent moves IMO because it's really go now or do a full rebuild.

If they'd gotten anywhere near close in the prelim (within 30 points) I'd agree, but they got spanked by Sydney who were spanked in turn.
