When is Nick Stevens announcing the club of his choice

[melbournemartin]

well they wont get a good player from a team since they cant afford it even though stevens is worth it

i think port will soon realise they can get 2 first round picks

perhaps #3 and our next highest after #5 but i doubt they would want the second one

pick #3 is all we can offer to port for stevens

If you really want Stevens, you'll try to make a trade with another club to secure another first round pick which you'll then trade on to Port for Stevens. You'll still keep pick #3 or pick #5 that way.

yeh but wat do we have for offer?

white

essendon expressed an interest but they were mroe keen on pick 5

maybe white for essendons top round pick

but still i think pick 5 for stevens is fair

Melbourne aren't allowed to trade both picks 3 and 5. It's against the AFL's rules. They can trade either one but not both. Stevens has already said his preference is collingwood but in reality most trades won't be confirmed by the clubs (not excluding those very reliable inside sources) until thursday or friday of next week or at the earliest monday when trade week actually starts.

even if they were melbourne woulnd trade both anyway

they are looking reluctant to trade just pick #5 anyway

Please don't spread misinformation like this.

 

[melbournemartin]

true or not its irrelevant melbourne would never trade both

Port have said they don't care where he wants to go - they'll trade him where they can get the best deal. Can't remember who said it but it was a couple of weeks ago just after he quit

 

[melbournemartin]

yeh and melbourne have the best and second best offer #3 and #5

Assuming the Bulldogs and Carlton aren't doing something behind the scenes

Port will trade Nick Stevens to whatever club offers the best deal regardless of where Stevens wants to go?

If Stevens won't agree to sign with a club Port can't trade him anywhere, that is the bottom line.

You guys just keep up exchanging your suppositions on Nick Steven trades, there's not much longer left to flog the dead horse.
