Why would we want him at the wages he's asking?
Everyone is getting excited about the possibility of the PSD. He can still name his price. We shouldn't under any circumstances be even considering paying that much (if true) to any footballer. We are in a poor financial position for starters & he will be going/gone by the time we challenge.
If we get rid of pick 2, I will not renew my membership!
Trengrove for 12 years+>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Burgoyne for 4 years
If he is available & affordable in the PSD I'd love to have him but if he has exorbitant wages or we trade an early pick I'll be filthy.

Nobody is saying offer pick 2 and I highly doubt we will, nor should we.

We aren't in a poor financial position, the club has said that if a player comes along (be it PSD or whatever) that they would be willing to make a strong financial push for their services.

I agree that $750,000 is far too much.

What's with the position he'll be gone by the time we challenge? He's got 4 years at least left in him but I could quite easily see him playing till at least 32.

The only problem with paying Burgoyne $750,000 a year will be that Davey is out of contract and would demand something in that ball park as well.

I'd be happy to pay Burgoyne something around $600,000 a year, with incentives getting toward $700,000 if he had a blinder but I wouldn't be willing to offer the picks that we will need to secure him.
 
Straight from the horses mouth (Schwab via twitter) that the MFC will not be offering Pick 2 for Burgoyne.

He's a smart man Schwabby.

If we got Burgoyne I think it would be alot like Carr going to freo and Stevens to Carlton (funnily enough all from port). Both played decent footy for a while but their window were still pretty small. Stevens had an indifferent year and might not be best 22 when it matters for the Blues.

Dez: We are in a poor financial position..we are still in debt. I guess it just means the club isn't cutting player wages, which means something else takes a hit. But our cap is at the minimum at the moment.

EDIT: Watching The Footy Show :
Everyone's hero Hutchy was in the dustbin outside the Burgoyne interviews with Hawthorn and Essendon and he spoke to each party. Unless I missed it we didn't meet with him, at least not at the same day/place... Or Bailey decked him when he was confronted.

Priority 1: Give Davey whatever he wants.

Priority 2: Offer Burgoyne whatever we've got left.

I'm lead to believe that we met with him yesterday...
 
it would make me very happy to see Port get the ass and get nothing for him. Otherwise - forget it, not worth a trade.

Shouldve been captain for the tealsters, and they screwed him, i say he walks and teaches em a lesson.

Not necessarily say we don't want him but just say that we aren't willing to go after you if you want $750,000 a season.

In a way it weakens Burgoyne's stance if he just selected us to make sure a deal gets done, means he could end up heading to a Richmond or even a West Coast or a Fremantle.

Forget about this bloke! He dosnt want to play for us, he is only using us as a bribing tool to get to hawthorn!! He is 27 next year and as far as i'm concerned does not fit into our 5 year plan!! He's not that good to demand 750k a year, or 600k for that matter. So lets leave him to hawthorn and concentrate on getting young guns to the club and continue to build for that flag in 2013. I would consider turning our focus onto Ebert for a 3rd rounder to be honest. IMO.

This. He has no interest playing for you guys unless he's making top dollar.
He has talent no doubt, but...

He would be a terrible leader for your younger players, often shouts at players and argues, is selfish and rarely turns up. Last example I can think of is him shouting at Krakouer after giving away that dodgy free at the end of the game in round 22 vs North.
 
Stuff Burgoyne, we dont need him, i dont want to give away potential picks in scully,trengove or carslile, and his expectng too much cash.

I would only take him with with pick 34 and onwards or in the PSD...

I dont think anyone is disputing that we shouldn't give away our prized picks for him... i think it's more about the money he's demanding. It's pretty frustrating that he is willing to play for Hawthorn for $100,000 less.. I find it insulting.

$750,000 per year is way over the odds in the first place. To then go on and tell Hawthorn he'll play for $600,000 is a downright slap in the face. We don't need greedy players at our club lets build the team from scratch with the goal of winning a flag in 3-4 years time, when all the players are in it for the success not the dough ALA Geelong. Get stuffed Burgoyne.
