If he does stay, he will then request a trade again next year and they will get offered even less than this year in a weaker draft.

This really hasn't gone the way Port thought it would.

Still time for something to get done this year. Kangaroo's are still a chance with the huge money they are offering.

I agree he will be worth a bit less next year especially if he doesn't have another AA year.

I'm sure Port are doing their best to try and convince him to pick the Kangaroos. I agree that there is still a chance that does happen, especially if he is desperate to get back to Melbourne now.

Is this not a rumour thread? I’ve mentioned where I get my info from many times. This was wrong, just relayed what I was told and I didn’t fact check it. What’s your contributions to this thread been other than snide

Yes this is a rumour thread. My contribution is responding to people that make stuff up which I’m allowed to do. Maybe do a bit of research before throwing out a “confirmed” rumour

Good. I hope it doesn't.

I find the Houston trade situation bizarre

Port are desperate to get into this year’s first round draft, and Houston wants to get home - however Houston hasn’t nominated a club.

The destination club wants the departing player to nominate a club - this forces a direct negotiation between two clubs.

Until now - we’ve never seen a player not nominating a club.

The risk in Houston not nominating a club is that it will create a bidding war between in this case three clubs - sounds good in provincials however what could eventuate is clubs will pull out of the race and no deal gets done at all.

Interesting to see where this lands from here.

I think you’re right here

The theory has been if a player doesn’t nominate a club, they create a bidding war.

But instead you seem to have 3 clubs who want him but because there’s a 66% chance he doesn’t pick them, they aren’t bothering to commit to their best offer

Because let’s be honest. He isn’t going to North.

Carlton can smell the bullshit. Collingwood starting to as well.

It wasn’t a presser at all, it was his regular weekly spot on SEN.

That supports my argument more doesn't it? It wasn't that Laird went out of his way to be a prick to Rachele, he was just one person who had a media gig, a regular, routine one, just after the news about the reprimand for Rachele got out. So they asked him about it and he answered.

So that’s worse, a senior regular media performer couldn’t speak without throwing Rachelle under the bus.

Did you do any 'fact checking' yourself before throwing an accusation towards someone that they made something up?

I didn't make it up and as I said have posted many times where I get my info from, I just relayed what I was told by a usually reliable source who was at the SA Combine. I've apologised for not fact checking.

No need to explain yourself, this is the whole point of the thread! Keep it up!

Blokes just living some sad life.
