    Boak yes (no 1 in a modest mid-field); Beames no (3rd or 4th in a gun mid-field; not tagged)

    Beams is very similar to Boak in the sense they both are smart players and can spread. Even though our midfield is probably the worst in the comp, we have got some talent like Jones, Trengove, Blease and Gysberts. If you add Boak/Beams plus Viney and hopefully we can land some speed players into the mix our future looks brighter

    If MFC give up #4 for Boak I would be extremely disappointed!!!

    #12 maximum & a player if need be.

    You'd give up pick 12 plus a player for another player that only had 4 x 30 possession games in his first 68 ?

    And to say he owes Port nothing??? Well nothing can be further from the truth. If he decides to leave he will ensure that they are looked after.

    The said poster actually said, "However, Port owes Boak nothing and will thus take the highest bidder of any Victoria based club."

    You've misinterpreted his comments. He said Port owes Boak nothing, not the other way around.

    Gee, Pick #4 for Boak? Really?

    Just because he's leaving? (or purports to be?)

    Pass.

    BTW, Ox on SEN just said that Trav Cloke aint going anywhere - 99% sure he'll stay with the Pies.

    Pick 4, Na!

    Risk the chance of a potential Judd/Hodge/Ball scenario from a strong draft.

    Nope.

    Apologies. I did miscomprehend that.

    Bah! Not when Trav Boak is available.

    Tapscott will never be able to exert a comparable influence on a match.

    Glad that we've agreed to disagree.

    Boak hardly influences matches.

    Except Boak is a respectable young man, whereas Beams is a human stain...

    I'm confident that puts my opinion in pretty good stead.

    makes me wonder if you've even seen him play...

    Of course, you're always right, nothing else matters.

    Please do not reply to my posts - I don't deal in rudeness, as is your form.

    Why do you keep saying that?

    I know that you will not say on here.

    Am I the only one in the football world that wonders what the hell he is supposed to have done.

    Not that I care too much if he can play lets get him.

    I called SEN tonight and asked the OX if he would take Boak for pick 4 and he said NO WAY.

    Derm said if he was at MFC he would.

    Im 50/50 at this stage.

    Im sick of skinny kids.

    Me too we have enough for the balance of this decade

    Read that port adelaide are keen on Toumpas, maybe us passing on him in the ND could be part of a potential trade deal.

    I'd love to get Boak or Caddy, but I have an issue giving up an exceedingly valuable pick for a midfielder that isn't an A grader.

    Boak may become one, but right now he's not. Pick 13 is reasonable.

  • Quote

    Pick 13, a pass on Toumpas should hopefully seal the deal.

    I'd rather Toumpas than Boak.

    We would get Wines or Stringer instead.

    So we would get Boak and Wines.

    Might be a big reason why Port would want our earlier pick to pick-up the SA fella Toumpas.

    I understand your logic and it makes pretty good sense if Port was immediately behind us in the draft - although the Dogs probably will be - but I love the look of Toumpas.

    Although I'm sobered by the notion that something happens to players once they don a Melbourne guersney.

    Oh, what if he goes 1 or 2,? It's a nice thought, BUT.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
