Recruiting Targets Summary

Family are BIG Port supporters. I believe the old man is Smith Plumbing who still sponsors the PAFC.
I reckon the crows would be offering Phil a huge offer to come back as they have a sizeable deficiency in defence with Rutten retired, would be a good pick up if they can get it done.

I reckon his dad was a manager at BAE.

Sorry for causing a stir re the Donuts - my sauce (strawberry) would get into serious trouble if he told me who they were. They only hint was that there wasn't much room between head and doorway.
Don't think I would want to be stuck in the same cab as Gorringe, Mackenzie and Cameron.

Right and wrong. We have not offered Tom a contract at this stage, but he also has not yet been delisted. We are likely assessing the state of the list after the trade period to decide whether to re-sign him or resign him. I'm resigned to the latter.:cool:
 
So we're offering pick 37 as well? Not sure how I feel about that, how are we gonna get Gorringe as well?

Also debunked that pick 5 rumour, you can ban that Crow fan now Ford lol.

Port Adelaide's first and second round picks, currently 17 and 36 are set to be shipped to the Bombers in exchange for Paddy Ryder The Age reports.

The Bombers currently do not have a second-round selection as part as part of a reprimand the AFL handed down to the club for bringing the game into disrepute.

There were reports over the weekend that Brisbane may offer up pick 5 to the Bombers for Ryder, however the ruckman quickly denied a move to Brisbane, setting his sights firmly on joining the Power in a role that could prove to be the missing link in a premiership.
Essendon, Port to keep talking on Ryder

So even if Brisbane did offer #5, Ryder wasn't going to agree to the move anyway.

That's determination :)
 
Whoops that was supposed to be posted in the Ryder thread my bad.

Yep it reinforces the point that Paddy was set on coming to us all along, although that was never really in doubt the only people who thought pick 5 was on the cards for Ryder were delusional Bummer fans.

His information could be better than The Age journos. Let's give him his chance.

PS Seany a link to that article would be good or your next on my To Do list. ;) All those awful things people say about me, some of them are true.
 
I must have missed something. Can someone tell me if this has been initiated by O'Shea or the club. Trying to make sense of it......anyone with knowledge please let me know!

Looks like it's (reluctantly) club initiated.

"The Power also looked at including defender Cam O'Shea into a trade that would have seen him join St Kilda in exchange for the Saints' second round pick, 22.
That trade appeared unlikely on Sunday, with St Kilda wanting to strengthen its draft position, not weaken it, and the Power not trying to force the contracted O'Shea out."

It was initiated by a usually reliable journo (I think it Emma Q at the Age?), who among the more important and sensational facts of the Ryder trade probably has less interest in whether Port, The Saints or Cam suggested the idea of his being involved, and very likely doesn't know who if anyone initiated it TBH. In fact she might simply have been trying to put two and two together based on the so far unsubstantiated rumour that the Saints (ie Richo) were into Cam.
