If the rumours are from the Por tboard then don't worry about them. The board, along with Choco may all be gone after the latest blood-letting. Gotta love the SA public.
One of either the Crows or the Power should have been called the Cannibals.

I thought Stevens didn't want to play for Carlton?,

remember he is uncontracted so is in the box seat in regards to where he want's to go (otherwise he can go into the draft and port will get nothing, similar to Nick Davis and sydney last year)

wha?

2 things -
Is Steven's captaincy material? And who are we going to appoint for just one year (assuming McKay gives it away)? What are we, St. Kilda?

I've drawn a blank - who's Fletcher?

It's not a terrible deal (though it is expensive). Stevens is 23 and quite good. Guerra is 21 and could be quite good. Both midfielders...

I still think i'd prefer a youngster we can watch develop into a champion, though.

What an ordinary trade that'd be for Port. Fletcher? I'd rather retain Kingsley - like any club needs turnover merchants like this. And to throw in Guerra would just be rubbish - deadset, if you're going to make up rumors, at least make them credible.

Nick Stevens is a ball magnet.

But..................

If i was going to give up the #2, it would be for Luke Power who can play as a HF and HB as well as being an On Baller.

Stevens has no defendise side to his game and at Carlton he would attract the opposition's best tagger.

Port would be licking their list with that one - forget Fletcher but the #2 pick for a guy they are delisting anyway???

Pretty sure the suggestion is Stevens and Guerra for pick 2 and Fletcher.

To be honest, I can't see Collingwood offering something better than pick 2.

Oh ok, my apologies.

I still reckon Top 10 picks should only be used for 10 year players

Me either. Carlton have no chance. If #2 could get us Cooney, maybe, but #2 is going to be another Victorian we sees us in a dodgy position again in a couple of years time. If Carlton want him its going to have to be a realistic deal, thanks.

One of the most stupid things I've read for a while !!

Stevens comes to Carlton for $550K per annum and becomes the capt in his second year at the club ahead of more worthy options like Waite ?? Carlton also trade their much cherished priority pick for Guerra (who is yet to fully prove his worth) and they throw in Simon Fletcher (who is going to be booted anyway) as well.

Well, there must be a Father Christmas after all. :rolleyes:
