[Hodgy]

1 of those first 2 will stay, likely Burgess. He can stand alongside Welsh again next year and help the kid out.

If we secure our 3 trade targets and have to take 3 in the draft then we simply can’t keep any unsigned players as we won’t have the list spots. Since ANB and Cumming are sure things then we already need to delist 5.

On a separate note looking at who will probably be available at pick 25, like Dodson or Oliver Hanniford, then surely we aren’t giving up that pick for Neal Bullen. He will be 29 next year ffs.

On the first point, id be more than happy with that but our KPF depth will be dire without one of those 2 staying on the list.

Agree on the 2nd point.

Assuming power knocked out tonight - fingers crossed - will be interesting to see if any of the potential trade targets come out next week nominating a club . talking Luko, Cummin and Perryman for starters

AFL usually hate when that stuff comes out Grand Final week, can’t imagine anything comes out until post GF

Have we set a date for ours yet?

It's basically been dead silence from the club apart from a few re-signings.

Need to complete the vote shuffling

 

[Bevoman]

Nicks is already a petulant coach, just imagine how much worse he'd be if we demoted him but still retained him

Anothe ex-Port coach from that centre of excellence

I think it means that we don't even know the player we're chasing are doing..

Or how our trades will work out

Yes, but Luko has not actually asked to leave (the Gold Coast)

 

[jackster83]

Yes, but Luko has not actually asked to leave (the Gold Coast)

I think he stays put and this is just the Suns giving him a kick up the bum.

 

[Cromulant]

Yes, but Luko has not actually asked to leave (the Gold Coast)

He's being told to leave

 

[skam85]

Yes, I just completed a funded government study.

So when people post something and you demand a source it's okay, but when someone asks a legitimate question you get all sassy with comments like this?

 

[hippyhippy]

He's being told to leave

Being told to check your options is pretty clear and there really isn't going back from that imho. Especially a player like luko who could walk into any club

 

[Shifty Crow]

GWS was only knocked out last weekend, they haven’t had there’s yet

Luko situation is different to Cumming

Cumming can freely move to a club if choice, he may wait till after BnF night ti announce - there is no need for him to go public now

Luko - for me, player, GC and destination club will remain silent until the fundamental elements of a trade have been agreed

[GreyCrow]

If we secure our trade targets IF??

We should have bedded 2 of those in already

Luko and Cummins were long range targets and we are still not sure?? Are we still that incompetent?

ANB was the only one to fall into our lap late so there is some excuse but even he has said I CHOO CHOO CHOOSE YOU ADELAIDE

And we still cant delist anyone?

Come on man

 

[BucketsNj]

Imagine a scenario where we miss cumming to Port as a free hit, miss Lukosius to Port and they only pay a 2nd rounder for him on a lower contract than we offered and we overpay for ANB and then proudly announce the re signing of McHenry.

Why would we waste time imagining that?

We're paying for having people with training wheels on in the key pillars of every successful club - CEO, Head of Footy, Senior Coach. None of them are proven.

We finished bottom four and Port top four. Which club would you rather play for if you had a choice?

such a pathetic loser mindset constantly comparing us to them when they've actually underperformed massively for the vast majority of what should have been their peak.

if they're so much better in every way go support them

Does it ring true?

 

[GreyCrow]

I get the feeling people are genuinely scared Port will win this years flag and their anxieties are bubbling over
