Re: Brad Ebert
Giving away a good player for a 12 pick upgrade would be stupidity, every time we go to the trade table in the future the other club would remember how weak we were and other players would push for their peference every time.
We get 28 + 33 you get Ebert and 45.
We use our pick 23 plus a player to snap up Clark later in the week, may even need 28 or 33 in that deal also.
If we don't use them we do what we did last season, seek to trade out a late pick for a 3rd round compo pick and bank it.
Still failing am I.

Re: Brad Ebert
Its a good thing no-one is offering a 12 pick upgrade, but in fact the second pick in the second round.
There's your solution then, trade #33 for a compo pick.
Re: Brad Ebert
IMHO, the person that has come out of this whole trade looking like a bitch, is Brad Ebert himself.
I'm not sure what the official reason for him wanting a trade, but its been bandied around that he was looking for more time in the midfield and/or was disappointed to be pushed out of the best 22. Doesn't say much for his character if this is the case if he'd rather run to another club that actually work to achieve his goals.
Wanting to move back to Adelaide for family reasons? Fair enough. But if that is the case, he should be happy to accept a deal with Adelaide... rather than have his manager come out a declare that he's going to Port and only Port.
West Coast have actually been very good to Ebert. He's been given way more game time than he probably deserves. And his father was given a job at the club. In return, he's walked out on the club for some pretty lame reason, and completely screwed us over by insisting on only going to Port.
And for Port fans that somehow think it is West Coast's fault for picking up anyone called "Ebert", you should check out Brandon Matera. Seems very happy at Gold Coast and doesn't have any intention of coming home. Ebert could learn some professionalism from the kid.

Re: Brad Ebert
Maybe when Brandon has been at Gold Coast for four years like Ebert has at West Coast, that may be a valid comparison. I think we all know your recruiters will be in his ear every five minutes until he does the same thing.
Re: Brad Ebert
And if and when he does the Eagles will act in the fair and professional manner it normally does and compensate GC with our first round pick, just like they did for Stengliegn, just like they did for Chick.
Thats not to say I expect pick 6 for Ebert but pick 28 + 33 for Ebert + 45 is as close to reasonable as we will get.
Personally I'd take 33 plus Surjan as I rate him.

Re: Brad Ebert
No one said he was chump. Unappreciative? Yes. Petulant? Very.
That goes for any player who leaves us and nominates a single club they'll agree to a trade with, irrespective of whether we'll be bent over or not. Memories are long in this regard.

We've already been thru the Nick Stevens scenario, so spare us the violins.

Re: Brad Ebert
Ebert will end up going like this..
Josh Hill to West Coast
Brad Ebert to Port
Jacob Surjan to Bulldogs
I also suspect Farren Ray will be back to the dogs and Matthew Bate will join him

Re: Brad Ebert
Well you seem to be getting pretty huffy over a "nothing club". But thanks for the irrelevance.

Re: Brad Ebert
To some nobody West Coast supporter we're nothing.
To Brad Ebert, we're family.
Pick 28 or 33 is hardly a screw over. It's unders, but it's as close to even as we can offer in a simple trade. If you're on trading these anyway for Clark it's probably in your best interests to get the deal done.

Re: Brad Ebert
Can people please stop trying to shop Surjan around? Unless we get a really good deal (which we wont after a bad year) i'd be shocked if we traded him.
