West Coast had 2 WA targets in mind so were willing to trade for pick 2 for unders, no clubs would trade pick 2 for 9 and 14 so Port Power got very lucky.
More to it than that.

Same reason GC traded their pick #2 back when.

They didn't think the players there would be sticking around their whole career

GCS asked for a premium for either pick 2 or 3 who they used to drafted Lukoscious and Rankine in the 2018 draft. They wanted 2 1st rounders with one of them either pick 4 or 5.

Port were lucky that Sheezel, wardlaw and tsatas all pulled the go home card ?

West coast don't really chase WA guys in the first round .

The club has said on multiple occasions that we draft players based on talent and if we have 2 players rated the same we will choose the local guy first .

Before last year we hadn't draft a WA lad in the first round since Sheed (2013) .

2 for 9 + 14 is a shit deal but it turned out alright with the 2 we drafted .

Still feel that we got a shit deal in the mega trade and basically gave away rioli for a pick in the 40s .

Rioli can GAGF after all the support we gave him

Both GWS and West Coast accepted unders which allowed Port Power to receive well overs in that trade.
 
That was a stupid trade to get a player who wasn't even an A grader just because he wanted to come back home to the GC.
They had just lost the biggest player on their list, had a heap of cash to spend and needed a win of bringing in a player for a change.

It's how it goes, a club losing a player to a big contract elsewhere can go out and buy another.
 
And Adelaide has a good rap with specialist surgeons.

Wonder where he will stay for the rehab.
It makes perfect sense to be home around your family and love ones after a serious medical procedure.
As flights should be avoided after any surgery; I expect he will be in Perth for some time.
Where there is an opportunity for the Eagles to get into his ear; his choice will be play for a bottom team or plays finals in 2024.

Port has a recent history of trading back into the draft; therefore, I expect Port to be trading players at year end.
Like Amon last year, it is a win, win for both the player and club.
If he indeed Georgiades decided to stay in Perth, the Eagles second rounder, curently Pick 20 could facilitate a fair trade.
 
If West Coast finish second last you'd be laughing if you get anything close to pick #20 in a trade.

I think you'll be offered pick #39 and it will offend you, but West Coast won't have any competition for Mitch from Hawthorn.
Hawthorn had a fair bit of interest in Mitch last year. Port were even aware of it.

Not sure if the ACL changes things or whether it’s something that gone cold, but considering Twomey and others have reported that he’ll get offers from Vic clubs Hawthorn are likely one of them - with cap space and a spot on offer next to Lewis.

Pick 20!
Be serious,

A player who wasn't getting a regular game and has just done an ACL.
He's a 3rd rounder.
