I've thought about this too. Would take more than just Georgiades though. Maybe a F1.
I think it’s a straight swap. They are getting a 10 year A Grade WA tall forward. With Allen hitting his straps and Waterman serviceable they will have their tall forwards sorted and you built teams by sorting your talls first. Otherwise you’re like us, scrambling for a tall back with an age profile a few years older than your mids so they peak at the same time.

They still get Harley Reid. Reid and Georgiades is a magnificent rebuild start.
 
Thought bubble I feel dirty about but who loses out of a straight swap of Tom Barras 27yo will never play in a premiership at wet toast and Mitch Georgiades who will give that basket case hope for the future?

That trade plugs our biggest hole with possibly the best plug in the afl.

I had tickled the ivories on that one myself.

I think it is pretty good but not ideal.

If that trade was the last or second last piece to completing our team then you would have to seriously consider it.
 
West Coast hold all the cards in a trade. It will be a second round pick or PSD. Forget about getting one of their few younger players.

Only a second round pick for Georgiadis is a joke. It would have to be more than that. At least 2 second round picks which we could then convert to a 1st in a trade.

Tell me what leverage we have?
 
Bergman would only want to go back to VIC. As for Bonner, that would depend on West Coast having interest. This isn’t PlayStation, where you can just throw someone in and the other team will just accept it regardless of list needs.
 
West Coast's ageing list has fallen off a cliff. They're not throwing out good young players or multiple draft picks for another young player even if you throw in a fringe player.

Best hope is if they threw in one of the older players for salary cap relief.

NicNat plus second rounder. That sort of trade would be the best you could hope for.

There's no fairness when trading with a desperate club with leverage. And really Georgiades off ordinary form and a knee reconstruction isn't going to help.

We really need him to re-sign with us.

Yea get where your coming from but this all assumes Georgiadis wants to go to West Coast. He may end up going the other way or staying at Port. Guess we'll have more of an idea during the 2nd half of the season. Right now its all rumours, even the Hawks are linked to him...

Absolute ideal is he signs again with Port.
 
n't need leverage. It helps. If West Coast want to be fair, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Dunno but if Georgiades doesn't want to be a losing side for a while, he might want to go to Freo.

Of course you need leverage. If they say 2nd round pick or PSD what are our options? He's out of contract and he can go.

As I've said, ideally he stays. Freo would be a better option for us if he did go back.

Sure but what I am saying is IF they want a 2nd rounder or PSD is pure speculation.
They might be willing to give the right value.

They might think a 2nd round pick for a speculative talent who was playing reserves footy and coming off a knee reco is fair.

Anyway I hope it doesn't come to that and Georgie stays.

The West Coast fans still talk about how we screwed them over with the Ebert trade in 2011. But what choice did we have? We weren't going to give them pick 6 after we won 3 games, nor were we going to part with any of the handful of pieces we had to build around. This is a similar scenario.

Is desperation leverage? They are desperate for an influx of talent.

I hope he stays too. If he reaches his potential, he could be a Modra type.

Desperation is their motivation to use their leverage which is the likely first pick in the PSD.
