Essendon/Port Adelaide draft trade?

[Blidgy]

Great, Toby Thurstans, Michael Gardiner and Polak have all been mentioned as possible trades to us now. Lucky us, we can get the whole set!!

now that would be one hell of a mad monday

No one's mentioned what they have in common - though is there anyone left who doesn't know what we aren't supposed to know? (Hmm, sounds like a line from Yes, Minister).

Unless Port are willing to give up one of their young midfeilders then there is absoloutely no way we'd think of doing this.

How long has it been since we have been able to draft the best young players going around? Remmember, this draft is apparently going to be very strong.

Rumor going aroudn that Port Adelaide and Essendon have met to discuss a trade swapping the #2 and 5 picks, as well as a player going from the Power to Essendon.

Have you heard anything of this over in Victoria?

What player would you want along with the #5 pick for the #2 pick?

And please be realistic, coz there is no way your getting players like Pearce, Tredrea, C and K Cornes, S and P Burgoyne, or even of our top rated players.

Stuart Dew is always a name that rises when a Port-Essendon trade rumor is making the rounds. You can have him, and Toby Thurstans.

Considering you've began this thread, its almost pointless to stipulate or speculate what a trade between our clubs would entail.

Suprised Chaplin's name has not been thrown up yet..
would fit in and take over our chb problem with no drama's and if we did happen to get pick five with him we would have the opportunity to pick up Joel Selwood
I wouldnt be dissapointed.

Salopek or Chaplin would be the only players of real intrest

Port have nothing we want.Nothing they would want to give up!
We have our draft pick No.3 to bargin with and we should trade for a proven young kid about 21-23.
Its a huge carrot to dangle in front of the likes of WC,WB,Freo,Collingwood,St Kilda and Melbourne.We should cut our list,free up some space and pinch one of their good players.

It's actually pick 2 and it would take a real promising kid or a very good package for us to trade it.
Highly unlikely, but no harm in seeing what it's worth

As much as you supporters want for the #2 pick, you also have to consider what the club are actually after. You can go on and on about what you think club needs, but you prolly have no idea of what the club actually want.

Why start the thread then?

 

[Stargazer]

Sorry, Port is not that stupid.

James Ezard is a kid that Kevin Sheedy likes apparently. His uncle played 100 games for the Bombers.

Yes he's Alan's nephew, but he's hardly worth a top draft pick.
Get off the grass, buddy.

 

[Jasiano]

If we could use our fourth pick plus a player for him then it would be well worth it.

I reckon over this past season we would've thrown a heap into the scouting of midfeilders across the country.
