Of the large group of uncontracted Suns two key defenders stick out, Rory Thompson and Henry Schade. Rory is a GC local, Henry is a 196cm Tasmanian who is being kept out of side by May and Thompson. No shame in that.
I enjoy their delusional opinions and meltdowns.
Essendon players might find they'll get where they want for very little fuss if they agree not to sue the club for negligence.Essendon would want two first rounds picks for Carlisle and about three established players.
There's a reason why no other clubs deal with the injectors when it comes to trading. They overrate their players. Look at what they wanted for Ryder last year.
Shem is on the rise!You just described Langers.
I doubt Collingwood will hand over next years 1st for Aish. I've heard this years 2nd and Seedman mentioned.Aish to Collingwood for next years R1 apparently says Sam McClure on Twitter... not sure how Treloar gets across as well..?
It was a very convoluted deal in the end....However, the short version as summarized on page 201, of the 2015 AFL Record Season Guide goes:
Shaun Burgoyne; Draft History....2009 Draft; Traded by Port Adelaide for NO'9:Andrew Moore & NO'16 Jasper Pittard.....Which, was essentially what all that convoluted BS was about satisfying.
Happy to oblige Brishawk.
Surely not. Aish is worth more than O'Rourke and this years draft is meant to be weaker.I doubt Collingwood will hand over next years 1st for Aish. I've heard this years 2nd and Seedman mentioned.
That's a summary of what Port gained out of the entirity of the trade, obviosly Jay Nash not included. It doesn't adequately descirbe what we spent. To say, and I'm not saying you are, but plenty do, that we gave up pick 16 is inacurate. We never had pick 16 in insolation as it was part of a greater deal with many moving parts. As always, the detail tells way more than the elevator speech.
At least there's one thing about that deal we can all agree upon....We were the winners big time.
Got - nor had any issues at the time - in us 'facilitating' 2 first rounders, he was worth it....When you look at the 2 average footballers Port got in return, then it's difficult to argue to the contrary.
Anyway, the point was that 2 late first round picks at around 20 apiece for Carlisle, would not be 'overs' by my estimation....Assuming that is the path the club chose to pursue, having done their due diligence....However, if it appears inevitable that the Bombers players will incur a 2 year ban, then quite obviously, we wouldn't pursue that option....I rate the lad highly.
It's quite ironic how the 2 biggest 'gambles' we've made at the draft table this century, have incurred the largest howls of protest at the time. And yet, both transactions have had the greatest impact & reward insofar as delivering us the ultimate prize!
Fortune favours the brave....And we have been the bravest & the boldest at the draft/trade-table for a while....Looks like the Dogs have learnt that lesson also.
Carlisle hates Essendon and that alone means he'd be a great fit at the Hawks.
Would you pay 2x 1st Rounders + Savage for Big Boy?Simply not worth that much. First and second round? Maybe. 2 first rounders are overs.
Why would our club trade 'as a minimum' our next 2 first round draft picks for a player we can get for free under FA?My gut feel is that we have made a competitive offer to Dangerfid and have a handshake agreement with the Crows that we would give them our first pick in the 2015 and 2016 drafts as a minimum if they match our offer and Danger accepts ours.
Because Adelaide will match our comparatively modest offer.Why would our club trade 'as a minimum' our next 2 first round draft picks for a player we can get for free under FA?
Perhaps Danger has done the right thing by his current club & forced that they be compensated by his future Club.Why would our club trade 'as a minimum' our next 2 first round draft picks for a player we can get for free under FA?
In fairness, given the last two years, how could any player be consistent at Essendon? Especially when one coach says you should play forward and the other says back and they play a tug of war with you. At the right home Carlisle has the potential to be a superstar. Whether he works hard to achieve his potential will only be known in another 2-3 years.On his day, That is one of the things that gets me worried. He lacks consistency. As you said his mobility is a great strength for someone his size. Maybe a first rounder + swap our 2nd rounder for their third rounder. That is what we gave up for O'Rourke
We gave pick 9 & Williams for Burgoyne. Is pick 9 and 16 what Port Adelaide got in that complicated trade?
