Wingard is looking less and less likely. I think we may have to wait 12 months and pay him a little more but at least we save on draft picks.
It will get done, more than likely at the last minute.

You have a lot more faith in Port Adelaide's ability to manage a playing list than I do.It will get done, more than likely at the last minute.
Bringing in Scully, Chad and Scrimshaw and keeping Burton. That's where we are at for those just tuning in.
I find this Essendon interest in Scully disturbing. I hope Scully trade gets done first thing Monday so we can all move along with our lives.
Does that rule out pick swaps too? Theoretically can we trade our future first and then trade our future second out for a future third/fourth?If what I’m hearing is true, then we have a lot of work to do.
All three clubs want future picks from us.
GWS want future 2nd for Scully deal
GC want future 3rd for Scrimshaw
PAFC want future 1st part of Chad deal.
The rules stipulate that you cannot trade more than 1 future trade per year.
Looking at that, we MUST convince GC to a straight swap with Lovell/Cousins type.
And it also makes sense why Burton name come up, so we don’t trade future second and thus miss out on Scully.

Credible? Nothing really.Is there anything credible about Essendon trying to sneak in on Scully? It’s getting constant internet attention but nothing in the press. Is it just paranoia borne out of the Shiel situation or legit?
Ha! A bloody two page spread on “how a guy picked my club, after the favourite pulled out of the race”. Fantastic work by the Drunk.Hird was involved. Of course.
Slobbo pulling himself here.
Sheahans been on the money and was saying Wingard and Scully to Hawthorn before the trade period even started.Credible? Nothing really.
There was a tweet saying that Essendon were all over Scully initially, but that was due to Hawthorn being the short priced favourite to land Shiel.
For all the crap he cops here Tony Sheahan was all over us pulling out of the Shiel chase 24 hours before the Shiel
announcement, and even he has no intel on Essendon chasing both, choosing instead to say “Anything’s possible. I know Scully refused to talk to a few clubs because he’s keen on Hawthorn but I would never discount Essendon or Dodoro” when asked about the possibility of the two ending up there.
So, nothing concrete, and besides GWS want 2x first rounders for Shiel alone.
Considering the silence from journos on this supposed play to get both and the reports that Scully would be going to Hawthorn for a latish Pick, I will not be surprised if we lodge the paperwork tomorrow morning.
He left the most important part out then!
Essdon 6m over 6 yrs
Hawthorn 3m over 4 yrs.
Essdon suck shit!!!
Hird was involved. Of course.

Scully is so far removed from Billy it’s not funny.Happy to take Scully, but won't lose sleep if we miss out. Gets plenty of the ball but his disposal worries me (got the Hartung's about him). Kelly is the one I want. When's he out of contract?

If we are confident in his ankle, then I would not be against pick 53 and a future 2nd.Shiel and Scully will cost 1.5m.
If dons had cap space then they wouldn’t have dropped Scully interest to get to Shiel. They would have gone to gws straight away for a double deal.
Since then, Scully has been at HFC HQ, meeting with clarko and a medical.
I’m hearing though, that gws May have asked for two picks. 53 and future 2nd.
Which is fair enough.
That was the biggest piece of shit article.
"possibly", "maybe", "could have", "likely".
Disgusting two page spread.
I agree. However until we hear it from Tom or his management, I'll still have a small doubtJake Niall says Scully will be a hawk, Mark Stevens says Scully will be a hawk, and (okay not the most credible, but he did break us being into him months ago) Tom Browne says Scully will be a hawk.
Scully will be a hawk.
Does it say anywhere in the article how they tried their best to get Jaeger last year (who is a better player than Shiel) and failed?That was the biggest piece of shit article.

Or we just trade our current 2nd for another sides future 2nd and pass it on. But by all reports this is the draft to load up on not next.If what I’m hearing is true, then we have a lot of work to do.
