I never said pick 15 and Timmy
I said we shouldn't be paying two firsts.

I know you didn't, just illustrating a point that if we want a midfielder/fwd whose 25 and can kick 50 in a season we are going to have to offer up someone we don't want to lose as we simply don't have the draft picks.

And on an additional note if we did offer 15 and Burton and Port rejected that, then **** it.
 
Why would we trade what Burton could become with a first round pick for a player that finished out side their top 5 in the B&F to just play the same role?

I'm not saying I agree with it but Wingard is a known quantity in that role. Twice AA and twice Port's leading goalkicker. In the few times Burton has played forward he has not looked comfortable and he had a down year after a breakout 2017. I believe he will become a good player as a fwd/mid if given opportunity but it is still a guess.
 
Wingard will never going forward be worth 15 and Burton.

Going forward he may not be worth Burton.

If both hit there peak... wow, just wow. One has the other hasn't even reached the iceberg... dumbfounding
 
So Guys, I worked for Port and I won’t tell you what I did but I shared an office next to Chris Davies. To put it bluntly this guy is the biggest flog I have ever worked with in any business. He was originally from the SANFL and how the **** he got a job at Port after opposing the licence sale, and generally making life a living hell for Port while the SANFL owned the licence, is beyond me. This prick will make it almost impossible to get a deal done...I hope I’m wrong but it’s far from over the line.

We didn't and they wouldn't
 
Wouldn’t be happy with trading Burton. If that’s the only choice I’d prefer we just keep pick 15 and Port can enjoy themselves having a player on their list in 2019 who doesn’t want to be there - and then losing him for unders at the end of the season.
