Player Watch Jason Horne-Francis - You were always one of us

[Jello_B]

Must be school holidays.

All 3 and DBJ are first 22 quality.

Original jab good on you.
Amon is gone. Bonner can easily be covered. Not sure why you even mentioned DBJ but noones going out of their way to get him. We are only really losing Houston in this situation.
I’d rather lose Houston then George or Bergman, or miss out on JHF.

Still salty

Paddy Ryder > Dan Gorringe, hope this helps.

But we don't have to lose any of them.

Barrett basically just let slip that this deal won't be done until deadline day, in plugging Trade Radio will be there to cover it.

In more interesting news that Port informally asked the AFL about permission to trade both future first and second picks.

I mean, if we could play it off as also assisting North get a better deal due to their issues, it wouldn’t hurt to ask this.

God forbid it’s not like we haven’t been screwed over draftwise before.

 

[Rendaw]

Why is it that Port & Brisbane have to pony up at least 2 first round picks to get Dunkley or Horne-Francis

Meanwhile Geelong want

Bowes - 1st Rounder
Henry - 1st Rounder they want to pay 37
Bruhn - 1st Rounder they want to pay 2023 second
Pick 7 - 1st Round Pick
Pick 18 - 1st Round Pick

So they bring in 5 first rounders in the same year they win the premiership.

What is good for us is not what the Vic clubs will do

We should just be grateful they let us play in their league

 

[Jello_B]

Sure and that’s the best case outcome. Worse case (aside from the ridiculous trade suggestions that include Sinn and Butters) is we can’t get the deal over the line for JHF. Who would you rather have Houston or JHF (realising we are offering picks as well).
Also if NMFC won’t accept pick 2 and a second or third stuff them pick 2 this year would be great.

 

[Gryllis]

Why would Houston agree to go to West Coast? He's locked in the best 22 at Port on decent money with 5 years to go. WC is in for a period of being bottom 4. These lowly teams need to accept they're not luring contracted players who already have their positions secured. Bonner is exactly the level player they should be going for. He might actually agree.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Does Houston want to play midfield?

 

[DSL64]

I thought you can’t trade future firsts and seconds together?

Correct - Need permission from the AFL

 

[gbear]

Yep, West Coast have no hand here. Their only real leverage is just the gentleman's agreement that exists in the AFL trade period that clubs won't completely screw each other over like that unless they absolutely have to.

Only get screwed if clubs are complete twats. Roll up west coast

 

[gbear]

They said on Trade Radio Geelong want a first round pick for Ratagolea. That's ridiculous

Geelong and their deals regarding their cap space need to be forensically reviewed.

me after visiting...

This is so true ..

Especially with all the cry babies oops north supporters

Remember the s**t he posted after.. biggest flog, big difference between him and JHF

Is he the guy that admitted the only reason be ever made an AFL list was because he was tall?

More money.
Gets told by Port that Sinn will come in, Jones will take his spot etc.. no midfield opportunities with JHF coming in and Butters / Rozee taking those spots and his future opportunities are limited at Port.

 

[theouthouse]

Georgiades is worth more than our first or future first. He doesn't want to leave. He's an elite talent developing KPF. Trading him unless he's bashing down the door to get out is insanity. He's part of the core we're building around.

Why didn't he extend earlier this year then when offered a contract or put forward a counter offer to negotiate?

If he doesn't sign next year what do we get for him with a bottom of the ladder west coast with first pick in the PSD?

He is worth pick 2.

Our future first goes to North along with pick 2, we keep pick 8 this year, and get JHF, its as good as it gets.

Burns but that's the price.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

• Dunkley to brisbane
• Pick 8 to WB
• JHF to port
• Bonner (or insert player), Brisbane’s future first, ports future first, pick 21, 25, 33 to north

I know north probably say no

 

[Thornhill]

Well the “shinboner spirit” isn’t really emphasising their smarts now, to be fair …

When have they ????

He signed a 5 year deal earlier this year

That throws this out the window

 

[Thornhill]

I’m standing by for tonight’s media induced trade rumour about how Port and North will get the trade done…

Monday night it was Butters
Tuesday night it was Bonner
Wednesday night it was a mega 3 way deal
Thursday night ?????

Don’t let me down media…. I need some entertainment tonight.

And Thursday it is Houston

Yer probably does.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Houston probably only behind Rozee, Burton and Marshall in players I want to keep most.

 

[PowerBaz]

Yer probably does.

Maybe they want us to keep paying his wage too…

Paper Bags at Geelong and Carlton but the AFL will do jack shit about it.
