I honestly can't tell if this is serious or not.

You run the risk of getting nothing out of the deal we don’t
I agree right now my money is on he is being deliberately vague or his first name is Adrian
You don’t get the player you targeted and sold down the river cause you couldn’t get a simple trade done? Geez he’d be stoked…
I’d be happy to take him in the PSD so we wouldn’t lose a thing.
Bombers to take a player in the PSD thats already rejected a contract they've put in front of him?

Lol, as if a club would be petty enough to re-draft a guy who refused to sign a contract for them.
Yep. Players don’t dictate where they go when they enter the draft.

Desperate stuff from this Port list manager. Hasn't got a single thing done and has already blown the future 1st. I know, lets tell the media that one of our targets is happy to go to the PSD where we have one of the last picks
and presumably less cap space.
You'd be mad not to. So why all this effort to trade and lose a player?
I'd like Essendon to take Ratugolea and Geelong take Zerk-Thatcher just for the lols.
Would Adelaide take zerk in the PSD. Really can't see why both teams wouldn't just do this.
Ess could chuck in 3rd/4th rounder but pretty even swap.
Zerk actually has slightly better stat rankings for position but is uncontacted and slightly older.
Fresh start and a needs benefit both for both clubs.
What's riskier for port, duursma coming good or looking bad for not trying to cover the kpd gaps.

I'll preface this with, this whole notion won't happen, and it is quite a silly conversation going on. If it does result in BZT needing to go to the draft, because they're busy haggling over a late pick swap I'd be pissed if I was BZT. I'd certainly think about whether I wanted to go to Port if I was another player in the future.
But I'll add, if a player nominates to enter the draft, then they are contractually obligated to go to and play for whatever club selects them. Not sure what a breach of that contract would look like?
If they're haggling over later picks, this deal will get done.
So he's used the PSD threat.
His name should be Brandon Jerk Thactcher
His name should be Brandon Jerk Thactcher
Adelaide don't need him, would only be tempted out of spite.
More likely to take Esava at pick 20 in the ND.

Wouldn't have thought so as not a need & we have already traded in Burgess.

Any chance Essendon would just redraft him if he went to the PSD - they offered him a 3 year extension so it seems wanted to keep him
Port holding because a player that doesn't want to play for them is contracted would make sense if there's no defender that they need with a risk of him being taken elsewhere.
Port is the one that is in need of a structural player here, in a position that doesn't have many options. Duursma is basically a "take and see what we can do" type player.
Contracts or not, Port will be the one left with a sour taste in their mouth since they're the ones on the edge of competing, we're not.
And if they keep dragging this on they risk insulting BZT even more. Not a good way to make someone feel wanted, you'd think.

On the one hand it would be pretty silly of us to do that if he would rather walk than sign a contract with us. But on the other hand if you walk to the draft you should be prepared to play for any club.
I don’t see why he would walk to the draft if his soul intention is to return home.
