Stevens to essendon.

[David_02]

Stevens has been speaking to essendons and is almost signed a contract with essendon. This will mean jacobs and bolton will goto port because they are looking for key position defenders. This rumour about carlton getting stevens is a load of crap because simpily carlton have nothing to offer. Collingwood were close but essendon beat them to it.

dream on

 

[Mike33]

Where did you hear this? 'cause from what i've heard Collingwood are still most likely to get him. Not saying your wrong or doubting you, just askin'

 

[David_02]

thats the word that been going round essendon and port

 

[Portia]

If `Essendon and Port' is a pseudonym for `the voices in my head', I believe you.

 

[Tim56]

Bull****. Why waste our time with crap like this? Port doesn't want Jacobs (value pick 15-20) and a hack for a quality player like Stevens.

In any case, Port don't have the salary cap room to pay them, as they have stated. They want draft picks.

When people say he is a chance to go to Collingwood i wonder what they have to give in return, not because they have no on their list to give up but more that they have no one of quality that they WANT to give up. Secondly they do not have high draft picks.

Has anybody ever said you are an ABSOLUTE FOOL....

1.. Port DO WANT Jacobs and have even come out and said it you fool...

2. Value Pick 15-20... Haha dont make me laugh.. He is a key position defender who is young and hasnt even hit his prime yet but is still a good player..

3. Well i agree about that salary cap room but Jacobs and that arent on too much anyways...


Still your a fool...

Now onto MY post

Port still want to deal with Essendon and everyone else alot more than Collingwood (As they hate collingwood) Blues and Collingwood have nothing to offer which is true so i would definatley believe that he could come to our club...

Melbourne i believe are now a good chance to get him cause they have the space to get him and they have the players to trade...

Give us a source. I haven't seen that anywhere from a reputable source.

I have noticed that Essendon fans seem to be trying like crazy to offload him because he wants more money and figure Port (among many, many others) want more of their overpriced ornaments in bad trades that meet none of Port's needs.

What garbage...we couldnt afford stevens in a million years. unless we buy his domain name and have him paid for featuring on our website

Now this is where you just make yourself look silly. Trade period hasn't started so no contracts can be signed.

For some one to have almost signed a contract at this stage is not possible.

I've been called many things, but no one has ever articulated it as well as you

Source? Port have said they want a dashing back flanker, but Jacobs isn't that, in your opinion.

2. Value Pick 15-20... Haha dont make me laugh.. He is a key position defender who is young and hasnt even hit his prime yet but is still a good player..

He is 189cm but doesn't have enough discipline for key defensive positions.

3. Well i agree about that salary cap room but Jacobs and that arent on too much anyways...

Jacobs is 'negotiating' with Essendon, and is obviously asking for considerably more money.

Still your a fool...

Now onto MY post

The anticipation was killing me.

Port Adelaide wouldn't care less about who he goes to, they just want the best deal. Collingwood probably can't offer them that. I agree that Melbourne are a good chance to get him.

At last, a method that has been tried and tested.

 

[Stevo]

Stevens ain't coming. We're just trying to talk him up so other clubs pay through their nose to get him. Collingwood will be getting desperate because the thought of us with Stevens is causing sh*t to run down their legs at an alarming rate. They'll call up half a dozen clubs to organise an obscenely profligate trade, and then stand around pontificating for the next six months - even though they spent a quiverful more than they ought to have.

 

[Lloydy!]

Stevo, ur one negative ****...

i bet my right leg that he'll end up with dons

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Im a POrt fan and really I dont think you should all be getting that excitred. Ive been to every game this year and nearly every game Port has played at home and also many away from home and nIk stevens is not what you all think he is.

He is a talent, dont ge tme wrong and his skills are good, but he lacks ticker and courage. He wont be there for you when the chips are down. Take for example the last quarter against collingwood, he decided to get posessions when the game was over. Against sydney he went hiding...

Suppose that Port get desperate enough to take Jacobs and pick #13.

Who else do we get rid of to fit Stevens under the cap?

And don't give me "Mercs and Hird onto veterans list". Back ended contracts. Barnard and Alessio would have both been on peanuts.

He only went hiding against Sydney because Choco played him in the goalsquare. Why would you play your number one midfielder in the goalsquare? It took him until late in the second quarter to move him into the middle and that's when Port started to comeback (perhaps, perhaps not, coincidentally).

 

[Lloydy!]

solly, jacobs, bolton, mcgrath, henneman are all nearly gone...

maybe misiti and mercs could hit the front office

If we can snare Stevens, Misiti will be gone, freeing up a couple of hundred Gs, as will Jacobs. Solly is also a chance to go, so theres over 500 000 freed up not to mention the ones u said not to mention.

 

[morgoth]

Yeah I am not that keen on Stevens, would prefer Brown or Solomon. Myabe we could give you our first rounder for Solomon, gives you the cap room and trade bait required for Stevens.

Your first rounder is pretty much a second rounder given all of the priority picks! Not sure that would help us attract much at all.

Sounds like Buckley all over.

 

[bozza]

Doubt he'll end up at Essendon, as much as I'd like him, but it's not Sheedy's style

 

[atcho]

Firstly you can forget about trading Bolton and Jacobs because Port have already said they can only afford a player on less than $220 000.

Secondly think about how many ready made guns Sheedy has recruited in his time at Essendon. The answer is 0. It's not his style. He prefers the McPhee, Cupido and Barnard types who he can build.
