If he's torn acl and out for rest of season he's worth a late 2nd or early 3rd rd pick. He was worth about pick 30 before this news but now with the added injury risk he's worth less.

Suspect he has one foot out the door given recent events, and who could blame him.

No, he would just go for free in the psd.
WCE are either bottom or second bottom. They're getting Georgiades if they want him, and they're not paying much.
Assuming JHF was worth at minimum two middling firsts, you got Rioli for free.
Not getting a late 2nd if he's done an acl.
Those take 12 months and then another year to get confidence back. So 2 years likely before any meaningfull return. Freo needs a kp forward NOW. Eagles need to invest its 1st and 2nds in kids and the rebuild.
His game is built around big jumps over packs, so that maybe affected.
Im predicting a Jeremy Howe like switch to an intercepting 3rd defender. Get him behind the ball where he doesnt need to turn 180 degrees in play and instead attacks in straight lines from defense. In a few years he can be swung forward if need be.

He won't and we didn't. We paid picks 43, 53, 57 ontop of the 2xfirsts which is a points value of 24 PLUS we upgraded (based on last year) collingwood's and Freo's pick. North got 3,40,43, and F1 for the JHF trade. They picked the same guy at 2 as they were going to at 1, so whether the excess value is the trade for 1 or for JHF is immaterial, they gave up nothing and they don't get the extra picks without trading JHF. WC get a points value of 21 from our future picks for rioli assuming we finish 6th. They then get 8 and 12 for pick 2.
It's pretty interesting to hear we robbed 2 clubs when Rioli's averaging less than a goal a game and JHF has been getting potted from all sections of the media. Robbing a club is offering pick 40 for a 2nd year 1st round pick, like the Crows did for Hately. GWS refused to take it knowing the Crows had pick 1 in the PSD. It was sending a message that they weren't happy. Georgiades could be running around with no legs and he'd be worth more than Rioli. The idea that Hawthorn wouldn't nick Goergiades in the PSD is laughable.

The idea of the PSD threat is a myth. Clubs don't really do that anymore. At the least, it's extremely rare.
Also, Port don't have the bargaining power to do it. You can't not play a guy for the first 6 rounds of the season and then choose Ollie Lord over him only to restrict his trade request. That would be poor form. Especially if the guy is battling a serious injury.
A trade will get done and i'd say it'll be in the 28-35 range.

Lol..did you see Hawthorn yesterday?..they continue to play like that and they are not finishing bottom. To my eye, they look quite capable and can bring the heat for the full game.
Would love Georgiades at Essendon.
Will also depend if he's done an ACL I suspect.
If he has, Port won't be getting a second rounder for him.
Not everyone uses picks in the PSD.
IF WCE want him(big 'IF'), they'll get him in the PSD because we're very likely to finish last anyway.
A token third will get it done in that case, at best. Why would you overpay for something you can simply get for free? It's not like WCE particularly need a good relationship with Port, considering their player-poaching of WCE's B22 players over the past decade.
Plus, Port supporters seems to be rating him on form from 2 seasons ago. At this stage, he simply looks like Ben McKinley mk2. One-season wonder.
My god west coast fans are petty.
For those at home the west coast players we’ve “poached” ie traded for are rioli and ebert.
Big ****ing whoopdy do.
Anyone would think you guys lost prime buddy Franklin or something the way you carry on

Ollie Lord kicked 4 goals last week, has been an emergency last year and probably should have already debuted. He was really good yesterday. Georgiades was the most promising KPF in the AFL in his first 2 years. He played 19 games last year for 23.24 and probably another 5 out of the full and lost all confidence in his kicking. He kicked 1.3 in rd 1 this year (1 OOF), 1.2 in a game we hardly had the ball near our forward line, got dropped, kicked 3.1 in the SANFL, then 2.4 in the game against the u/18s.
If you don't know anything about the guy, then by all means don't bother posting. Max King was still pick 4 off an ACL. Riley Thiltorpe and Jamara UH aren't playing every week. All worth 3rd rounders I guess? I guess we're getting pickett for a F1 because OOC means 'basically free'. Could WC decide to give us a good old fashioned rogering? Yeah sure. But make no mistake, Georgiades is a gun, whose only issue prior to yesterday is he has a goal accuracy of 22%. He's a gun, will be a gun, and anyone who gets him will be jerking themselves off to highlights for 10 years and the narrative in 2 years will change to 'gee why did Port trade him for a bag of chips'. OOC means you rarely get 100% of what someone is worth, it doesn't mean you get fingered in the bum and get pick 40 for a first round KPF whose played 42 out the last 52 games in the AFL. If that offer eventuates, we'll never trade with that club again unless it's to return the Favour.

It's called being a realist.
If we finish last and have no.1 in the PSD, why the hell would we waste a 2nd rounder on a bloke who hasn't produced much for the past 2 seasons, when we can get him for free?
Paying anything more than a token late pick would be pretty dumb, especially considering where we are at in our rebuild.
He also doesn't fill a position of need for us.
We already have Waterman, OAllen and Darling. Which one of those does he replace?
As we're likely to pick a KPP forward this year also, bringing in MG makes zero sense and I can't see it happening.
It would make far more sense for him to go to Freo, for both him and Fremantle.
Oh the irony of this where WC fans wanted a first round pick for Rioli based on what he did 4 years ago before being suspended.
Nobody wanted a first round pick. Mid 2nd, which was fair based on his form before suspension.
If anyone suggested a first, then they got into Willie's stash before posting.
Yep early 3rd the best port can hope for now.

No-one is disregarding his early career form. But you're disregarding the fact that this guy isn't best 22 anymore. After 6 rounds of not being chosen that's a fact. If he was a gun he'd be in the team. Georgiades played against 18 year old academy team and just blended in. His form in lower levels has been underwhelming.
Look at Xavier Duursma. You would've wanted a first round pick after his early career form. Then he stagnated, went backwards, got dropped a million times and is only now back in the team playing afl. And he's just been average. How is Georgiades any different. Other than the fact that M.G can't get back into the team.
Probably even less and will be taken in the PSD if he has done his ACL as that club will be taking all the risk.

He kicked 1.4 (might have even been 1.5) against the under 18s when we fielded possibly the worst SANFL midfield we have in our history. We're 0:3 this year after going 5:13 last year. Our SANFL midfield yesterday consisted of Trent Dumont, Jackson Mead, Hugh Jackson (pick 55 2nd year player), and Josh Sinn playing his 3rd competitive game in about 3 years. Did you watch much of the u18s game? They creamed us in the middle, it was only the bigger bodied KPPs who avoided an embarrassing result. Georgiades has exactly 1 problem, he's kicking at 22% goal accuracy. I'm pretty sure that actually flatters him as there would be 1 or 2 shots from 45m out that he shanked and didn't make the distance. The only difference between year 1-2 and year 3-4 Georgiades is he's inexplicably gone from one of the better set shots going around to almost the worst in the competition. It's literally the only reason he's spent any time in the SANFL, Hinkley has said as much numerous times. This is a problem that plenty of players have gone through and got through it. You fix it, he's a star again.
It's weird that you keep on pressing this. If Pickett goes, its 50/50 between Port/one of the WA clubs and we'll tie the two trades. A first rounded in the same draft, who is a KPF, a position known to take longer to develop and harder to find in the draft going for peanuts. I am sure that'll pump up your trade for Pickett.
You've open a can of worms, they still think Duursma is "elite"........
