I know enough Port supporters to get my Hinkley dose, including Sam who was the guy who made the Sack Hinkley sign at your last final.Didn't realise I was ranting I thought my comments were factual and level headed. If you want my rants visit the Sack Hinkley board. Actually on second thoughts maybe don't
BTW I'm happy to concede on the rare occasions I am wrong but I was right about McAdam and I called it 3 years ago.

He's a very passionate Port man..& attends most home & away games.
He likes a good rant too...
Hahahaha that's a light hearted critique compared to what I have to say on Hinkley. Sorry to play the man like Granger at the Bay Oval.This is a rant.
In all seriousness though, Duursma fit has a much higher upside to Zerk-Thatcher and while his disposal isn't particularly great as an end to end wingman he's an excellent player. Problem was "you know who" decided to try and make him an inside midfielder he got badly smashed up a couple times and has spent ages getting his body right and getting confidence back.
Duursma IF he goes is worth low-mid 20's pick. The issue is Zerk-Thatcher is worth a bit more than Lewis Young and he went in a 3 way deal that WB ended up with Pick 52. In my opinion even Pick 37 is a stretch. So I don't see any circumstance where Duursma is involved in a trade with Zerk-Thatcher even if he does go which I don't see happening.
I ask this question if Zerk-Thatcher is worth a first round pick what is Ridley worth because he can play despite his effort with Rioli.

Straight swap it'll be
Mate don’t try and shift the goal posts on what you said which was just rubbish.
In line with what you said, Thilthorpe has also spent a “significant” time in the sanfl as he’s played more than Duursma in the Sanfl so must be up for trade even cheaper?
Just admit you over exaggerated and wanted to get your 2 cents in on a topic that doesn’t concern you in an attempt to be a crows troll. You were incorrect so just back away slowly instead of trying to change the parameters of your original post.

No you are up there with the worst of the crows posters. Someone can prove you wrong in one of your statements (see above where you state Duursma has played a lot of sanfl, then someone calls you out) and you will just ignore that completely and start talking about something else.One of us is a balanced poster who isn't completely one-eyed.
I will leave it up to opposition supporters to judge rather than a Port numpty...
Then we all have to listen to your nauseating real life ramblings about wine, cheese or whatever else you like to stick your nose into.

Duursma thread:

Traded - Xavier Duursma [Traded to Essendon for Zerk-Thatcher, #73, 2x F4]
This is going to grow legs the next two weeks. What is his trade value and what has happened to him from bursting on to the scene to now?
www.bigfooty.com
The Bombers need some steak knives for this trade where part of the Bombers pitch to Duursma was they will try to improve their pick eight to draft X's brother. Where Zane was on TV Friday night saying how much he would like to play with his older brother.
Good strategy by the Bombers as the third brother in this years Vic U/16 team and is tipped to be the best of the siblings; W, X, Y & Z.
ESPN Quote: Top-five fancy Zane Duursma has put an AFL reunion with older brother Xavier on the map ahead of the AFL draft.
Speaking to media at the MCG prior to the AFL Draft Combine, the star Gippsland and Vic Country forward admitted he's spoken to Xavier about playing their footy together at the next level.
Oh, well; we all know that the Gold Coast's Pick Four is up for grabs

Has to be one of North Melbourne’s picks as 2 and 3 = picks 3 and 4, Hawks pick 4 = 5 and Suns pick = 6 which is far too late for Dursma
Every good boy deserves favour, or is that every good compo pick deserves a favour?
There are currently conversations happening between the Bombers and St Kilda about Jade Gresham and free agency.
Where whatever compo pick the Saints get back for Greshan they will trade back to the Bombers for Dylan Shields.
Who knows what the McKay compo collusion was between North & the Bombers.
If it is pick three I reckon North will owe the Bombers a favour.

I’m not sure about all that. Just saying that’s realistically the only way to get high enough to get a likely top 3 pick.

Fact is Duursma did play significant sanfl (certainly more than Sav who many of you have given Cats supporters a hard time about).
Fact is Duursma since he 1st burst on to the scene in 2019 season has played far more poor games than good games & usually goes missing when the heat is on. Whilst he has some quality games, he is very inconsistent, which he should have ironed out by now.
Whilst BZT's ceiling is lower than Duursma, he doesn't have the same level of inconsistency with less poorer games.
Imo, they are of similar value & there may only be minor draft swaps.
How about for once you try & discuss without getting personal. This is not the Port Board.

Off season I post in many non-Crows threads. Check out the Crime Board.
Again this is not the Port Board thread, so feel free to debate the topic, rather than concern yourself that this thread is insular like your own board.

I think you'll find Port come out on top in a straight swap. That will be evident by the end of next year.

I have a soft agree. I think BZT offers something in the right role. I think you can get better players than Duursma to do what he does.
