Two 1st rd picks not enough? if your right then they might throw in a player as well.
Everyone is saying they're desperate so who knows. My care factor is pretty low. More worried about Polec and Frampton.
Fear both are gone.
How is Frampton in the frame this year ? He is still under contract and a year can be a long time in football.

It is a huge ask but if Ken has any brains he will prioritise Billy's development next year and give him an extended trial. Show a bit of faith in him and he could respond. If Ken continues with this 'he ain't ready' shit we could lose him but we should worry about that next year.

Billy would be on peanuts and likely under Ken to play 3rd fiddle in ruck to Ryder and Lycett(?)
3rd fiddle to Watts Marshall as a KPF. The lack of faith from Ken even contempt (no vid of him being selected).
All up Billy would be well within his rights to say there's no future for me at Port under Ken.
Freo or WCE might offer him a lot more money a 3/4yr deal and Billy says i'm going home Ken.

Who I want us to go for:

Lycett - Cost us nothing but salary.
Steven May - One first rounder will get this done. We need experience in our defence.
Dylan Shiel - Pie in the sky, but exactly what we need. 9 & 10 will get this deal done and he is more than worth that.

If we got Lycett and one of these other two, I am more than happy to lose Polec.
Would not pay that for shiel, way overs

Am I the only one who thinks M. McGovern isn't any good? He's 24 and he's shown some good clutch moments but overall hes never been a remotely consistent contributor. The crows won't miss him at all.
When he isn’t injured, he’s ok. Cow talk of carlton’s 1st pick for him is just stupid

End of 2019 maybe, but not this year.

Ryder probably has two years left and to be honest I am not that rapt in Watts as he does not take enough contested marks for a KPF. In two years Ryder and Watts might both have departed which gives Frampton and Marshall the opportunity to cement a spot. Of course Sam Hayes could leap frog 'em all.

Billy is not going to wait 6yrs to cement a spot. For those who think because he's contracted for 2019 he's staying
think Logan Austin another one like Ah Chee who wasn't given a decent go.
Ebert has to go... he is just terrible now

Doubt he'll be let go, does a lot of tackling and grunt work. As for SPP well now that's another story.
His disposal was iffy to begin with and we've turned him worse. Rockliff is in the hope basket for next year.

I have never seen someone’s decision making slow down so obviously. He gets caught or smothered so regularly now.

There's so few players on our list that i would be very upset about trading. Clurey, Dougal, Marshall, Farrell, Hayes and DBJ. If Rgray went back to victoria chasing a flag i would be okay with that. If westhoff left i would just be confused.

Heard a reasonable whisper today that you are going hard at Sheil.
If we go for sheil it will be our first from this and 1st from next.
I would be happy if we are after him but being after someone and landing them are 2 different things.

if we could land norths first and a 2019 2nd for polec and a 3rd.

move atley and a third for 2018 or 2019 2nd rounder from another vic team like saints.

pittard and a pick to a vic team for an upgrade in the 3rd or late 2nd round.

then offer 2 firsts to gws for shiel, or 1 1st and 2 2019 2nds if they prefer that. would ask if they feel like sending a late pick they won't use back to do so.

gws preference would be to hold onto shiel and try to make a run next year and possibly lose him for 1 late first pick as they won't be able to match offers in free agency. But they have enough wealth of picks to take that risk. would require shiel to be adamant he is leaving and ask to go this year and they would honour it.
