You guys did pretty well out of that deal. Bombers cleaned up. We paid more than Burgoyne was worth imo.

Thank god there is only 1 more day of this left. Trade week should be shortened to 2 days. One for talk and one for action.

That would be fair enough. He is worth pick 9 + a player just not worth pick 9 + the players you have been demanding as part of the deal.

You are right we did start it but pick 9 + Lewis or Birchall is way over the odds. No club in their right mind would do that for an incosistent sometimes brilliant 27 year old with a gammy knee.

That would be a great result for Port. Essendon would be paying a fair bit over the odds in most peoples opinion.

If the bombers give up two first round picks for him then they have been royally bent over. I would hope if Essendon offer that then Hawthorn walk away. You can have him. Not worth it.

Me too. I think it will drag on all week though unfortunately.

Not at all but it is really up to Burgoyne in the end. If he refuses to play for anyone but Hawthorn and sticks by that all week there is a chance you could lose him for nothing if you don't deal with us. If a deal can't be worked with Hawthorn and Shaun agrees to go elsewhere then he will go...

If Essendon offer pick 10 + Lovett i think that is what the deal will be. Can't see Hawthorn matching that. After hearing Campbell might not play again and Jolly wants to come home i would rather use pick 9 in a deal for Jolly tbh.

If reports are right and Kennedy wants out i think pick 9 + Kennedy would be a good deal for Port. Kennedy would have to agree to come to Port of course. He showed massive improvement in the second half of the season and is a big strong unit and only 22. He is the sort of in & under player Port...

I disagree. I think burgoyne is a bit overrated and quite inconsistent. Hasn't looked the same since that gf loss in 2007. Big bodies like Sewell & Lewis are crucial for finals success. I personally would like to see Rioli take on the burgoyne type role for us. I think our list has more...

I think that would be fair enough. If we gave up Lewis, Sewell for Burgoyne i don't think we would be any better off.

What do you think is a reasonable fee?

I think burgoyne is worth pick 9 + mid tier player. Someone like Ladson, Osbourne etc... No way would i give up someone like Lewis, Sewell etc... If Port are asking anymore than that i would walk away. Wouldn't be worth it for us.

If i was port i would be going for something like this: Burgoyne -> Essendon Lovett -> West Coast Seaby & Pick 10 -> Port

The more i think about it the less i want him at Hawthorn. For the amount we would have to pay him ($600k a season) and what we would have to give up to get him he is not worth it. It could cause unrest in the playing group having a guy come in on that money. I think he is quite an overrated...

I would put money on it he ends up at Essendon.

So would i but there is nobody that good that wants to move.

I would rather go for someone else but there isn't really anyone else available that is worth it. I certainly don't want someone like Maguire from St Kilda. Clubs tend to not get rid of key defenders.

Probably not but we need someone down back more than midfield. I would rather Chaplin than Burgoyne any day.

We need a kp defender a lot more than a Burgoyne type. More to lose by not getting Gibson than Burgoyne.

I would either do straight swap for Lewis or pick 9 + fringe player. Nothing more. Any more than that is not worth it for us imo.

That might be what we are thinking. We have an abundance of in & under types and need an outside mid with pace and skill. Lewis would be a good fit for Port and is 3 1/2 years younger than Burgoyne.

I don't really want to lose Lewis but if we give him up i would be furious if we gave draft picks as well.

I hope he goes to either Melbourne or Essendon. Good player but i don't think he is worth what we would have to give up in terms of draft picks/players or what we would have to pay him. Maybe if he was a few years younger. I would rather Pearce.

We are so desperate for a kpd that i would probably do this.

As far as i am concerned if he never did anything for us again his 3rd quarter in last years gf more than justifies picking him up. Single handedly got us into a winning position. I see a lot of sour grapes in this thread. Get over it you won yesterday. Enjoy the win.

Imagine how fat he would look in that new away strip of yours :eek:

Looks the good does young hamish. Your younger mids were impressive today.

Well done. Your skills were a lot better than ours and i think you wanted it more too. Dissapointing day for our mob.
