News Port to Make Massive Offer for Ebert / Phil Walsh

[Galileo9]

Not particularly no.


You're right they're not trading an elite player for Ebert, they're trading away multiple and potentially valuable picks for 1 player, who in a compromised draft would be worth something similar to that in the open draft process anyway.

You haven't thought through supporting that proposition and it's accompanying affects well at all. It doesn't service West Coast's needs for decent compensation given their investment in Brad Ebert nor does it service Port Adelaide's considerable high range depth needs.

Trading and drafting is about servicing needs or acquiring equitable compensation.

er wut? lets assume i understand some of that...port's first priority is NEEDS and then depth. How can you draft for depth when your first choices are already crap.

as for your multiple picsk comment...they are trading 2 picks for 1 player. therefore nett loss is 1 extra draft pick. you make it sound like they are losing huge amount of picks. therefore i can only deduce that you dont rate ebert at all or that you overate value of picks around the 30 range. otherwise i am not sure what you are talking about.

i havent spoken to any recruiters, but i would be staggered if any think that they can do better with 28+33 than 1xbrad ebert. you arent factoring in risk when drafting that far down. ebert is a sure thing.

It's reasonably obvious to me that you don't have a grasp on setting a draft market nor the concept that higher picks = higher probability of drafting players internally assessed as high order draftees so I won't be responding to you in this thread past this post.

Well todays news that Chad Cornes signed with GWS isn't going to land them much in compensation to help trade in Ebert, a 3th round compo pick if they are lucky.

Now if Kane also agrees to a move to GWS that could land a decent compo pick possibly. End of 1st round or a 2nd round pick next year would hold some currency.

Just can't see Ebert leaving right now though.

I would think that given ebert has been dropped from your team, he would be closer to wanting a trade......
I'm sure that port would offer something good to get him, first rounder, or second rounder and a player, maybe surjan or pettigrew..
imo I think he's staying anyway...!
Anyways, good luck for the rest of the season,

Would all depend on his character and to date the view coming out of the club and on here is Ebert is outstanding. If a player gets dropped for a final and instantly spits the dummy and asks for a trade, well that says plenty in itself and the club would accomodate him I'd imagine.

IMO Ebert's the sort who would just knuckle down and work on his deficencies and simply make sure he never gets dropped again.

No way you guys offer pick 6 for Ebert.

You'll try and package up pick 27 and Surjan - but that's not going to cut it

I struggle to see the middle ground.

How about we throw in primus as well?

Imo a deal which sees us set up to land Omeara, or trade Ebert for Daniel Pierce would definitely bring a smile to my face.

Every man and his cat wants omeara, but i would be pretty damn keen to have a fast (though i don't see it much these days) outside left footer in the team.

Pierce gets payed out on alot in the commentary so i don't exactly know how port feels about him, but i don't see why they wouldn't be stoked about getting Ebert back to adelaide. Popular name and everything, brings a bit of you hunger to the team. That sort of thing.

Looking forward to trade season this year anyway. So long as we don't get screwed over too badly!!!

There were a lot of guys on here bagging the Sylvia option because he was a "front runner". Danyle Pierce is the biggest front runner in the history of the game. Waste of space and time, no thanks.

 

[Puddy]

If we were going to trade Pearce for Ebert you would have to throw in at least a early 2nd round pick.

For what? to soften the first rounder you'd be throwing in.....

Brad Hardie mentioned today on 6PR that it is rumured that WC have offered Phil Walsh 500K to stay at WC. Shows how important he must be to the footy dept.

Would be hard to turn that down.

 

[Prem87]

Walsh is being interviewed for the Saint's coaching job as well. Hopefully he stays with us.

 

[Fazualdo]

Reports in Adelaide that Phil has accepted W/C offer - unconfirmed but same $$ has been mentioned.

Would of really liked to get him back, rate him very highly.

 

[Prem87]

Phew good to hear! Cheers Faz.

Fantastic news - keeps our strong coaching group together. They made such progress this year - watch for 2012.

Also, it makes up for Hawthorn losing tonight, in a clearly favored Collingwood final - bullshit umpiring again.

Good onya Walshy!

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Depends who his manager is. They often get stuff right due to their inside info as that site is owned by some of the sports managers. However, they also seem to often get stuff purposely wrong as they are trying to drum up the price of their talent.
