I think that you could see Port making a play for JR and T-Bird considering the players they are hemorrhaging over there. I could also see them making a play to trade Dawes as well. They will be needing the experienced players.
If Mick says get him, I think we should get him (for the right price)
He is however contracted to Collingwood for the next two seasons, so it would be a tense trade unless he
quits on them and walks.
I cannot see collingwood really been too interested in a deal thats fair for both sides unless they really need to free up the money.
Rumors are floating around that his current contract is below market value, this could be a good and a bad thing, good in that he might chase more money elsewhere, (or just want to play for finals) but it also says he shows lots of loyalty to Collingwood? Perhaps this is the straw that broke the camels back?

Rumours are that he's on $375k, which is way over market value.
Yes indeed, was off with the pixies on Monday, a strange and baffling evening of Booze, Beatles, Beach Boys & continental cigarettes.
I'm so ashamed.

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Wiggo was driving the 1st class train, so we missed him.

Not sure why there's this idea that Dawes is an incapable footballer. He is only young and has played very well for the majority of his career. One poor season, in which he was used as a ruck for a lot of the time, shouldn't be the bottom line on what kind of player he is and can be.
He's a power forward, and a good one, not a ruckman.

tbh I think They've lost the plot, going for Lynch to deny us , and then lose Dawes because he was rubbish this year. Crazy decision by the Pies.
Just know we had fun Stig.Yes indeed, was off with the pixies on Monday, a strange and baffling evening of Booze, Beatles, Beach Boys & continental cigarettes.

Dawes has definitely walked. As soon as they bought Lynch, he wanted out. I'd love to get him.
dafuq?
Dawes was pilloried for years by Collingwood supporters for showing less than nothing in the reserves. Came into the seniors and performed well in 2011, back to his usual ways this season.
He's not up to it.
Now Collingwood must have known it to be likely that Dawes would request the trade (He can't walk)
Seems that they may have been happy to get Lynch for nothing and to receive a pick for Dawes.
I even wondered whether Dawes may have actually been party to proceedings.

Spot on - Figjam showed his petulance - wanted to blame 'someone' for his teams silliness. Dawes back with Malthouse for peanuts cost to us- a better gamble than Lynch I would think.

I agree - all the excitement over a Cloke from a lot of people or Tippett - is all well and fine - except these types of big dollar moves invariably cause team disharmony over the medium term ...
if we got a Dawes- no one would complain about cost - - and I suspect Dawes would play back to his better form in our team under Malthouse -If he didn't work out - no biggy either.
Everyone loves the way Sydney can find role players- Dawes is a perfect example I would think - no guarantees of course but probability of value for money on our side.
Yes, but so would the fellow we signed for two years yesterday. Dawes is the better kick though.
If we were to acquire Dawes then giving Casboult two years along with drafting Mitchell and more recently Rowe just doesn't make sense.
Spot on. Tippett and Cloke were the ones we had to look in to. Now they're off the table (Apparently Tippett negotiations are at Cloke money levels and we're out) we should focus on diamonds in the rough and Caddy/Toy/Jacobs etc etc.
Not many other forwards worth the draft picks and money.

I'll believe the rumours come the close of the free agency and trade periods.
So many sources that Caddy is going to three clubs.
Just like Lynch.

For mine..
Betts Casboult Garlett
Hampson Waite Dawes
(I'd play Walker on wing or on ball as much as HF)
Also lets not forget (and I hope it doent happen ) but Waitey is a tad injury prone ..
The only players that we should be looking at are players that would offer at least 20% more than what we have, or types that we don't have at all.
Cloke is a one of a kind, irrespective of what we saw from him at times this year and was worth the chase whether we liked the character or the family, or not.
If Dawes had have been the primary target at Collingwood even in 2011, we would have been laughing at the Pies.

Melbourne can have Dawes if they're prepared to give up a second round pick. Or possibly Gysberts and Cook.
There's no Sydney type bargain if we meet Collingwood's demands for the contracted Dawes.
Draft our own players.

I wouldn't be surprised if we made a genuine play for Mitch Brown (WC) either. Said to be interested in a move home. Hopefully Nathan can put in a decent word about Mick
Would love to know Mick's thoughts on Henderson, and whether he wants him down back, or up front. Mitch Brown or Hansen would give us a lot of flexibility.
WC have already said Brown is off limits.
