Same. Needed him for KPD support this year and holding out hasn't cost us, a slight improvement in what was offered last year.
Good outcome.
Tim O'Brien for free as break glass.... Let's have a long talk Mr Mackie. Hard pass.
22 is good only if there are 15 father/sons and Academy picks so you end up with the Pick 37 that he is worth.
I legit rather walk Esava to the draft and pick him up at 22 than do a trade with Geelong.
Deadass.
Get your guy and also prevent the other club from getting a pick.

North and Hawks will pick him up….so no Sav and you’ve just butchered your own 2024 First Rounder.
That’s a sackable offence….
No one is picking up Esava with a top 25 pick brother

I can absolutely imagine North doing that. Can't you?

Both North and you guys need a KPD and have money to burn. For a guy that wouldn’t cost more than a PSD pick.
That’s a steal, both sides would do it in a heartbeat.
Port can only lose from here trying to play hardball. They got Pick 22 as I’m positive Cats will agree to it (closer to 28 after compo, academy and F/S picks)

We don't lose, we keep pick 22 which we can use elsewhere. We might get Ratugolea in the draft or we might not, but handing pick 22 Geelong is insane for an out of contract player who couldn't hold down a consistent spot in a side that finished 12th.
I'm also positive the Cats would agree to pick 22 because it's wildly overs. It's more than we paid for Aliir who was a better prospect and was in contract.

I wouldn't pay a pick in the early 20s unless he genuinely wanted to be a Hawk, but gosh we need to put frosty to pasture and find blanck a partner.

Is 28 massive overs for a guy who was offered 33 last year and has improved?
Sounds pretty similar?

If Geelong demand more than pick 23 then Port just need to walk away, cleary gone and got something a lot better than he is worth and then if they say nah we want more then no point in even talking. Im sure its just posturing if the reports are true.
Go find a VFL or SANFL big defender as a stop gap for a season

22 will get it done, just a bit of posturing going on. Geelong will say they won't accept less, Port will say take or leave it or we'll walk him to the draft etc. etc. And then on the final day the deal will get done.
The split of the future first lets Port now pick up our other targets with what we have left. Don't have to wait for this deal to be done before getting our other trades in motion - super important given it looks like it won't get done anytime soon.

Yes. Because 33 is also overs.
Power determined to snare Ratugolea, keen on Soldo
Esava Ratugolea could be on his way to Port Adelaide at the second time of asking, while the Power are also in the market for Richmond ruck Ivan Soldo.

Pick 23 and a future second???
Esava was drafted at pick 43. GFC has put in seven years of development into him, halfway through the year he was 2nd in our B&F before getting injured, and there's a premium on KPDs this year. Pick 22 will end up being pick 26 after bids. It is a very reasonable offer.

I read it as a pick 23 for sav + cats future second, which would value Sav at approximately zero. Do not see that happeningPower determined to snare Ratugolea, keen on Soldo

i.e. the Future 2nd was part of the Fremantle F1 deal, not part of the Ratugolea deal.
You've both misinterpreted this paragraph:
Port received Freo's second round this year (pick 23) and their future second round pick. The journo is saying the first of those, pick 23, is on the table.
