Would not even contemplate that Trade. Jetta is Paddy s best mate and is starting to become a very valuable player for us. Trengove is ok but no need for him at Essendon.

Williams and Daniher make two delistings. Slattery may be gone, if he's not contracted, and Welsh could pull the pin. I wouldn't bother having too many picks in this draft. 2 picks plus a rookie elevation (Crameri) is plenty, while saving a pick for the PSD.

Would you take Kane Cornes at the Bombers?
If the rumours are true on Kane Cornes being told he is no longer a required player at Port, he may be seeking a trade at the end of this year. What are your thoughts on Kane? Would you see him able to fit into the Bombers? What role would he play? Who could he free up? Do you want him, or is it a big, fat, NO?
Personally; he is still at a good age of 28 and has a few years in him. At best, he is one of the best taggers in the competition. He could slot into our midfield, take the oppositions best player and free up the likes of Howlett, but more so Hocking to play as the damaging, attacking midfielder that we so desperately need.
I'm not 100% sold on the idea, but what does everyone else think of the idea?

Re: Would you take Kane Cornes at the Bombers?
The problem with professional taggers is their job is becoming irrelevant due to the presses and "structures" (geez I hate that word) that sides are employing these days. I respect his talent and he is a quality player but I would say "NO" because we already have a few blokes who can handle those duties when required.

Hocking and him are the same player, I think Vince is our best bet.

Depends, as a rookie pick we could do worse, that said he has looked to lack 2 yards of pace this season!

OP must have overlooked the dedicated thread for all trade talk.
And on the subject of Cornes. Yeah why not, It's not like we don't already have an abundence of one paced midfielders with average disposal and limited nummber of tricks. Lets get another one.

Which can be rectified.
He's been much better under Bickley, but then so have the rest of them.

I like his best a lot and I agree with your point but do we need another "work in progress" mid and should we trade for one?

Re: Would you take Kane Cornes at the Bombers?
Hocking provides a hell of a lot more attacking wise than Kornes. The only problem is that Hocking is the best tagger in our side.
Getting Kornes would release Hocking and he would become a much more attacking and damaging player. This is the kind of low risk move we should be looking at. Kornes will come cheap and he would have a massive point to prove to the Port Adelaide football club.
Not at all.

Re: 2011 Official Trade/Delisting Discussion Thread [Part 3]
I would be looking at what else he could bring to the club. By some reports is an arrogant self-indulgent knob. Do we need him having a whinge when he's not guaranteed a game because he can't break into our midfield?

No interest in K.Cornes.
Think he needs to re-invent himself as a small defender - Has the skills set to play this position.
Limited future for him in the midfield.

Re: 2011 Official Trade/Delisting Discussion Thread [Part 3]
To those that think getting Cornes is a good idea, I seriously hope you never EVER pay out Stanton for his disposal.
Cornes is a 1 trick pony and that has been proven at Port this year. They have tried him at half back and he was so inept there that he got dropped to the SANFL. He is a tagger or nothing, and a tagger with questionable disposal at that. Pass.

Re: Would you take Kane Cornes at the Bombers?
This should be quoted ad nauseam.
Why would we want to pick up a 28 year old on his last legs? Particularly one who is struggling to get a game at Port.

Re: 2011 Official Trade/Delisting Discussion Thread [Part 3]
Seriously guys wanting Kornes is just laughable, we have enough players who are just like him in Welsh and Slattery and even then everyone doesn't want them in the team so why would we go get the exact same player?
