I think they would have cap space as dont have that many superstar players (compare to Blues for example). that said, if we lost all 3 of these to Power it wont be a happy time for anyone...at West Lakes or on here and I dont want to even contemplate that as feel its unlikelySo there’s a world where Port could land Luko, Perryman and Cumming
Are they like Carlton and Geelong in that they have endless cap space?
They can't have much room.I think they would have cap space as dont have that many superstar players (compare to Blues for example). that said, if we lost all 3 of these to Power it wont be a happy time for anyone...at West Lakes or on here and I dont want to even contemplate that as feel its unlikely
Jack Martin will end up in Geelong. They might make something of him.Delisted Jack Martin as well, and Fantasia is injury prone
They are not blessed with small forwards
Maybe an opportunity for Ned

gws dont want that they want the compoMaybe we do a token trade for Cumming??
But only if the Berg compo is worthwhile worrying about.
There will be NO compo for Berg of any consequence.Maybe we do a token trade for Cumming??

Seems like pure guess work to me?They can't have much room.
Their best players are in peak salary years, and they've been paying big to bring players there.
Everytime i hear Thilthorpe to be lead ruck, i just think of someone using a Ferrari as a dodgem car...why on earth would you want to trash a very valuable asset like that?if the ins this year are
Luko, Cumming, ANB, Lalor, Dodson, Welsh we cannot complain too much as have covered lots of holes and will force a lot of crap kickers out of the team
mature ruck to challenge ROB is still a glaring hole. and a lightning small forward to replace rankine now in the midfield are the two obvious gaps still. there are no list spots or draft capital to address these needs for 2025.
to me the only option is
1) Thilthorpe rucks with ROB as the backup. Luko is the third tall. Who plays second ruck?
2) Rankine is only used at CBAs but then goes forward. Will that give him enough scope to impact?
I get the Ferrari analogy but let me suggest thatEverytime i hear Thilthorpe to be lead ruck, i just think of someone using a Ferrari as a dodgem car...why on earth would you want to trash a very valuable asset like that?
Rowey said this morning that Ned maybe to the rookie list, what an idiotic move that would be
there is nobody else and he might change the entire look of our midfieldEverytime i hear Thilthorpe to be lead ruck, i just think of someone using a Ferrari as a dodgem car...why on earth would you want to trash a very valuable asset like that?
he said it last night too butvthat would be really dumbRowey said this morning that Ned maybe to the rookie list, what an idiotic move that would be
Port have plenty of room, but not as much as us as we have oodlesThey can't have much room.

You may well be right mate. Any inside word or gut feel?
The reality is Power do NEED him more as a forward (esp as we have Welsh incoming) but this comes down to Reid to do the deal. Issue is not wanting to overpay too much on Luko both $$ and draft capital
we are getting cummings dont worry about that one
luko my interpretation is
1. he doesnt want to leave and hence does not nominate anything
2. GC want him off the books but want a first round pick
3. neither SA club wants/has it to give but are ok to swallow the money
4. some vic clubs have better trade capital which suits GC but jack wont go - doesnt stop GC shopping him to melbourne clubs to pressure the SA clubs
there is no reason for him to wait for port to be out to nominate. if he was leaving port then yes but not this way around.
Taryn Thomas worth a rookie spot if he is cleared to play AFL?
Done some dick things. People can change.
I get the Ferrari analogy but let me suggest that
IF.... TT is first ruck this year.
THEN... Our CBA and stoppage scenarios will be dramatically improved immediately. He adds so much more than just the tap out.
sorry mate not sure I understand. Who can we get for 30-40? I assume you mean ANB not LukoSurely we don't make long term list decisions based on a player we're likely to get between 30 and 40?

I feel exactly the same but reversed. Why would you waste a match winner as a key forward when they could be in the middle influencing the game for its entirety. Melbourne and Collingwood have just shown that you can win flags without key forwards, they generally average 2 goals a game max. In the modern system based game they are very easily replaced.Everytime i hear Thilthorpe to be lead ruck, i just think of someone using a Ferrari as a dodgem car...why on earth would you want to trash a very valuable asset like that?
You're not serious, the fact that teams that showed even a passing interest quickly backed out should tell you he's damaged goods from an AFL point of view.If he's cleared, absolutely. But it'd have to be a tight leash and not cost us anything if he breaches and is sacked.
not sure anyone touches him. already lots of negative publicity with members complaining at Essendon when Scott mentioned generic things like he could play again, get another chance etc.As a league and as a club we need to be better than this.
