Yep one of those early 20s picks would do nicely.I would trade Ollie Lord to Richmond for a late 1st, will never make it as a forward and I would much prefer to keep Scully on the list

Like our players always do in finals - our administrators freeze like a deer in the headlights under the pressure of any wheeling and dealingWhat was with all that tough talk from the club then? We heard all year Port were dealing through his manager and made it clear what was required to let him go, and they were outraged by Carlton’s offer, yet the club still folded anyway.
I just don’t understand why Port seemed so powerless when the actual negotiations started.
During that game, he almost cracked a bloke's head open and didn't play for us every again which included finals.He wanted no part of being at Port Adelaide? So when did this falling out happen? He still looked pretty invested in the showdown (his last game).
I'm officially super worried about the impending possible trading of Bergman and Butters.
Don’t trade him thenThe North offer was even worse than the deal Port accepted.
It's in the club's new DNA, get to terms with it. We are weak minded soft individuals that are unambitiousC4 pls explain why port acted like pushovers
Which is a horrible, horrible negotiation strategy.The North offer was even worse than the deal Port accepted.
He burned the bridge during the trade period in particular over the last 24 hours. Not going to elaborate any further than that.
Not that I think the Club should have let him go - it's not as if he could have gone anywhere, certainly wouldn't retire and stay in Melbourne had the Club kept him on their books.
Port's philosophy has long been if a player wants out, don't bother keeping them here.
Forget all of the Houston talk about how he was prepared to stay at Port if a deal couldn't get done. That is absolute BS.
They folded - there's no other way to describe it.
Carlton weren't offering anything more than 12 or 14, and by the end of this saga, Carlton were no longer interested. Voss wanted to get a deal done - but their list manager was never convinced.
North's offer was pick 13 (on traded from the Gold Coast) and a late round sweetener. In the end, Port got the best deal on offer, despite it still being a shitty one.

Can only hope the footy gods are watching on.Honestly disappointed with Houston. If this was the case throwing a tantrum towards a club that gave you an AFL career by picking you up as a ROOKIE when no other club gave you a chance.
That developed you with the club's time, money and resources for you to be set up for life financially and become a somebody known in a national sporting competition and then to backstab the club like this...
JEEZE that says a lot about you as a person.
If you genuinely cared for the club you should of made sure the club was well compensated with high end (1st round) picks.
You could of helped out the club by making your management aware that you wont leave until Port gets compensated well for me BREAKING a contract I signed with an extra trigger (4 years).
Selfish from your end.
Yes but Port were involved in those talks and were comfortable with where things were headed.His management were talking to Melbourne half way through the year bro.
When was this taken?We are falling apart on and off the field.View attachment 2143419
Why not elaborate? It may give us some clarity as to why this deal went through because atm the club is being viewed by all and sundry as a soft touch.He burned the bridge during the trade period in particular over the last 24 hours. Not going to elaborate any further than that.
