For sure.

WC are in a strong trading position that goes hand-in-hand with a good list.

Basically, WC will want to trade for someone who meets a specific need within their list, and will want someone likely to play 15-20 games next year.

Failing that, we'll just offload fringe players for picks or try to secure upgrades on those we currently hold.

At the moment, there aren't too many holes in WC's list. A top-drawer leading FF would be handy, as would a versatile mid-sized defender. We have Daniel Chick, and Beau Waters will be in the mix next year, but another player in that mould would allow those guys to rotate through the forward line as well.

We have some good young talent outside our best 22 that continue to develop.

I'm not anti-Perrie, but as key forwards go, he's just not quite in that top tier that WC would really be looking to target. Given that Adelaide's desire to be adequately compensated for him, I doubt that WC's need for Perrie is great enough to part with something/someone that would satisfy Adelaide.

I just can't see the two teams agreeing on that score.

Sounds to me like we have similar problems. We've been chasing that elusive leading forward superstar for a decade. I'll give you a little tip, you wont get one in a trade, unless you pay well above the odds. No one is ever going to be looking to trade the players you say you want, so it looks like you wont play much of a role in the trade week. Trading is always about the lesser lights, not the superstars, with the rare exception of course (usually the troubled ones like Fevola).

And if you want any really wacky stuff there is a better site called www.thepowerfromport.com its fantastic quality, i dont visit it as much as i should actually. I think the current theme is that somehow with watts kicking ten getting a mention we somehow get a good run in the advertiser. If its pity you want you know where to go. :)

Now sunshine, be careful. You hang around the sewers, you get covered in shyte! ;)

Makes sense, since half the posts here are from Port Power supporters.

Thanks teenybopper.

That's because half the posts on this board are made by you guys. Remind me, why do you guys spend so much time on the Crows board again? :rolleyes:

Cool, another of the mentally challenged clowns comes to visit, lets hope it's a brief visit.
 
At least she posted her 'quality contibution' in the correct thread.

Because they like to run back to their board and act all self righteous about the fact that other sides have inferiority complexes about them, if nothing else they are good for a laugh.

Sorry, who Wrote this thread again?? :D

Yeah, but this thread isn't about Port Adelaide. It's about one deluded poster, who just happens to be a Port Adelaide fan. Coincidence? You decide. :D

Beeck and Humm will get axed. No arguments there.

But the rest are tradeable.

We could get a 3rd or 4th round draft pick for all of them, and realistically, none of them are that bad. They're basically all midfielders, so it's not surprising that they've been starved of opportunities.

They've all played senior footy this season. They've all got 4-5 years left so you'd think that at least one club would be interested in them.

I'm not expecting the world for them, but I reckon if we packaged Adkins/Wooden/Jones/Green with a draft pick we could at least secure a couple of decent upgrades.

We won't be in a very good position come draft time, but if we can use these guys to improve that position, I'd rather do that than pick up fringe players from other clubs.

I'd be pretty disappointed if we axed any of Jones, Wooden, Green and Adkins without getting something in return. Especially if we then started stocking up on guys like Jacob Surjan during trade week.

That's just not the West Coast way.
