It's 2 first round picks over a ROLLING 4 year period!!! Which part of that is difficult to understand??
Anyway, I couldn't give a rat's tossbag whether you get him or not....but good luck trying to strike a deal when you finally realise you have no draft currency to trade without AFL approval. Maybe a straight swap of Pickett and Butters could get the deal done though. Seems fair.

The best part of every trade thread involving a Port trade target is opposition supporters deluding themselves into thinking they've got the slightest chance of getting Butters in return. Butters is contracted and going nowhere. If Pickett nominates Port, you'll take our magic beans like North did and you'll like it.
Yeah true, don't know where we would be now as a club without Trengove and Strauss. Thank you AFL!

Why is it the AFL's fault your club couldn't develop players?
The AFL handed you the keys to a Ferrari, you crashed it into a tree, and now you're complaining that the AFL wasn't generous enough to you because you don't have the Ferrari anymore.
Ahh, where am I complaining? Your comprehension skills need a little bit of work.
My point is, our 'umpteen' priority picks had no influence on our regeneration as a club. Our journey from minnow cellar dweller to premiership winning team should be the text book rise for all teams trying to do the same (North et al). Great recruiting, great drafting and great culture development. No hand outs, but a few hindrances also (the year we finished second last in 2019 - AFL hand GC a priority pick, bumping us back from pick 2. Dogs get JUH pick 1 - the very next year we can't get our one highly rated academy player in Mac Andrew due to a rule change).
But hey, again i'm not complaining, just in awe of what Jason Taylor and co have managed with our list. Your mob should take notes
This all sounds extremely familiar coming from the dees
Kysaiah Pickett to be given time to weigh up future
Melbourne are confident they have created the perfect environment to convince livewire forward Kysaiah Pickett to extend his time at the Demons beyond this season, but they will not be rushing him to decide on his future.amp.theage.com.au

You had plenty of handouts. The fact that you pissed them all away doesn't mean you didn't have them.Ahh, where am I complaining? Your comprehension skills need a little bit of work.

lol what a crock of shit.
No one s going to deny the good work melb did to get where they are, but they had a heap of leg ups, that certain melb fans are now pretending they didn’t is absurd.
The leg ups worked. Melb got off the bottom of the table and won a cup.

They needed a Port man to fix their mess.
Like Hawthorn needed a few... And Richmond

As much as the Crows would love Pickett, think we will prioritise the midfield.
We have just traded for Rankine & drafted Rachele last year... so not really a need.
If he goes fair chance he goes back to WA. Apparently more family etc there. Didn’t he only go to SA later on?
What hand outs assisted in our grand final win?
As Schulzenfest rightly points out, we pissed all our handouts up the wall. This was before our Roos came to the club.
Besides the numerous priority picks the afl recruited and paid for a coach to drag you out of the muck.
just because a player or coach wasn’t there on gf day doesn’t mean that they didn’t contribute to dragging you out of the rut you were stuck in.
To somehow believe that you miraculously came good after all this help, but it was somehow independent of this help is mind bogglingly stupid.
It's a ridiculous rule when you have used the picks to bring in a 19 year old #1 pick and you want to bring in a 21 year old 1st rounder.
Hardly selling your future!
If ever there is a justification for an exemption this is it.
Well see if Port get the same consideration Geelong got.

You are right in some ways (no way is Port trading Butters and nor should you or any other requited Vic kid) but these type of posts can sometimes bit you in the ass.
If Port have another 'off year' and miss the finals, and Wardlaw is as good as advertised, North win the JH-F trade (least in the short term)
Seems like Port is really having a massive crack at Kozi though. Would be a wee nervous if I was a Dees fan

I'm pretty sure Roos can also be considered a hand out.
Given that the AFL helped to foot his $1million/year fee.

This is factually incorrect.
In addition to the hindrances, we were the only club to be fined for tanking despite multiple clubs brazenly doing so before us.

Port didn't give up Wardlaw. If he turns out to be a gun that's GWS' problem, not ours.

Is it? The Melbourne Annual Report 2013 (Paul Roos first year as coach) states:
I don't think it's as clear cut for you to call it incorrect. Your club was a financial basket case and then you lured a coach on $1m which the AFL "endorsed"
The media also speculated the same:

lol..fined for tanking. The crows had no part in Melbourne's tanking yet we lost our Senior Assistant coach Bailey for almost the entire year and had no assistance from the AFL to mitigate against that. You could say from a day to day footy operational perspective, we were hit harder for your clubs tanking that your own club was.
Aren't we getting a bit off topic here, and yes I agree Dean Bailey (and by extension the Crows) were treated contemptibly at the time ?
Whatever draft and/or financial assistance the Dees received in the past has no beatinf on Kozi's contract status now, whom the Dees got via a future pick swap trade with North Melbourne, I may add.

you obviously haven't done your research in terms of the draft. there's a 50% bust rate for all draft picks, including first rounders. Lets have a look at some of ports first round busts: Barry Brooks, Salopek, Gilham, Adam Thomson, Lobbe, John Butcher, Andrew Moore, Pittard and Jacobs. Not to mention Willits (who you ask) who you picked up at pick 19, the same pick as Strauss, the player that was apparently half of the Ferrari. lol.
So don't go on about we couldn't develop players because Port have had more than their fair share of busts.
Definite grounds to get an Academy, all these retention issues we have.
