News DONE DEAL: Patrick Ryder traded to Port Adelaide

[Powerstufff]

Hands up who thinks that posts starting with 'but but but' have been overdone and are just getting annoying?

When can we put our hands down? This survey method doesn't work too well on the internet.

I too would be sad for O'Shizzy. But, you know what? I reckon he's willing to do this to himself because he loves the club. He's willing to pack up and a leave so he can help out Port. Now that's a club man.

He would be welcome back to Alberton at any time.

That makes no sense

The only players I'll be prepared to part with are

Newton
Butcher
Logan
Stevenson
Clurey
Mitchell
Ah chee

Of course they involve different trades. Ie Clurey mixed with second round pick

I'd take Clurey off that list

So right now the current offer remains at 17, with ongoing negotiations between a number of parties. Realistically, if anyone thinks this deal is suddenly going to go from 17, to 17, 35 and a player, they're kidding themselves.

I'm expecting us to part with 17 and our third round draft pick. Anything more, I'll be very surprised.

That makes no sense

It makes perfect sense. Hartlett said it last year when someone asked him over Twitter if he wanted to be traded to GWS. He said it would if it helped Port.

It also works for "Who's going to win the premiership and spoon next year?"
Port, Adelaide

walsh will get the tingles sorted. they will be better next year (which is why we need to be even better).

But but but, I don't know, I didn't plan that far ahead. I'm not that bright

Giles nominated Essendon, lets hope it speeds things up

 

[FallingLiefs]

Let's get one thing straight, under no circumstance are we trading O'Shea ... Don't care if it is for a second or first rounder. It is just not happening (I hope).

*unpopular opinion*


If O'Shea has expressed the feeling that he wouldn't mind if he were to leave I would be completely happy trading him. Obviously we would only get rid of him if we were offered his true price, which would seem overs to those outside the club. He probably wouldn't start round 1 or be borderline selection and we are absolutely stacked in the running defender department so I would be happy with it.

I pretty much check this thread every half hour or so for actual news, so basically every non news post I find annoying.

Essendon don't want people to think they will be push overs regarding the ASADA stuff - would not surprise me if they use the Ryder trade to go the way of the tribunal to make a point regardless of the outcome - that's the way they have been rolling for a while now... as long as he wants to go to Port and it stays like that we have to be patient. In saying that, I reckon they will use pick 17 for something else if we don't need it for Ryder - so they must have plans in place to tell Essendon take it or leave it by a certain time so they can use it for other trades.

Frustrating no deal for Port done yet! waiting......

 

[Chewy316]

Giles has just nominated Essendon as his preferred club. I won't be surprised to see the Ryder negotiation get involved with the Giles talk.

 

[MrMeaner]

Giles has just nominated Essendon as his preferred landing point. That might loosen things up.

They seem pretty excited about it too.



"Someone loves us! They really love us!"

 

[Power_boy89]

Just heard on trade radio that Giles has nominated Essendon. Hoping we are having a hand in this!

 

[Portress Hill]

I'm starting to think maybe Giles wants to go to essendon

 

[Phhht]

Trade board:

Pick 37 and O'shea to saints for 22, Then 17 and 22 to Essendon for Ryder.

This would make me really sad after looking at pictures of O'Shea in the weights room at Alberton

LOL, source for Trade Board rumour = guy at work, PMSL

 

[wilbur_15]

The dipstick on Trade Radio reckons Aaron Young now... Newton, Butcher or nobody for mine

At least to that guy's credit he recognised O'Shea was overs.

 

[carlfromport]

It makes perfect sense. Hartlett said it last year when someone asked him over Twitter if he wanted to be traded to GWS. He said it would if it helped Port.

A hypothetical question being asked to another player has no relevance to O'Shea.
You could be right but i hope not.

 

[QPower]

Heck, the Crows are doing it rough when someone prefers the leper colony at Windy Hill to West Lakes.

 

[wilbur_15]

Definitely, getting involved in Giles to Essendon is the best opportunity yet for us to work the Ryder deal.

On a side note, "Giles nominates Essendon over Adelaide". Hehe.

 

[Chewy316]

You know your club is shit when home-grown players are overlooking you for that rabble at Tullamarine

 

[Forzaport]

With Giles nominating Essendon, Ryder should be easier to move. Guess he'll be guaranteed more AFL time than if he played for Adelaide. Still funny tho.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

how do we work in GWS in the Ryder deal?

 

[chadleverington]

and we are absolutely stacked in the running defender department so I would be happy with it.

Who do else do we have around the 197cm mark that is a running defender?
