What about 4&12 for 7?

Nope. I'm trying to work out how we got Clark for 12, but need to pay more than that for Boak.

    No way would I want to use 4 and 12 on Boak. Total over-payment.

    No way should pick 4 be on the table at all.

    Anything should be on the table for the RIGHT price.

    We've got enough "developing" high draft picks, I feel like we'll always be planing ahead for a Grand Final 5 years away...

    Dont rate him too high! They can keep him. Pick 78?

    We need players who can run and carry. Cotchin & Judd mould. + Hill.

    Pick 4 + player too GWS for Jack Martin (U/17)

    or

    Pick 12 + player too Collingwood for Dayne Beams

    Personally I'd rather Beams than Boak, maybe because with Neeld, Brown etc we may have more of a chance of getting him, maybe because I just like him as a player.

    For the record, I wasn't suggesting Pick 4 for Boak, I was suggesting that we trade it for the RIGHT price should it come up.

    I also like the idea of making a play for Beams. I think he might be cheaper than Boak, and his tattoos would also fit in nicely with Jones, Clark, and (should he choose to remain a Demon) Moloney.

    Beams is a better player than Boak and would fit better into the side going forward.

    Beams has a touch of outside class about him, but his stocks are rapidly rising by the week

    and should he decide to leave - by the time 2012 is out, he will come at a cost, he an AA lock one would think.

    Boaks tipped to stay at Port

    Geelong mission to lure Boaks seems to have come up empty. Probably going to stay at Port.

    Next !!!

  • Quote

    Port probably told him we'll trade you to MFC.

    You have hit it right on the head old55

    Until we show some improvement it is very doubtful guys like Boak will want to come to the MFC.

    If you have to choose between the MFC, GWS, GCS or Port you might as well stay at Port

    Gee..... we've already got the footy world affraid of us !!! :unsure:

    One reason is because we can. Trade is not like a normal marketplace - if our 1st pick last year had been 4 then that's what we would've needed to use in the Clark deal, we would've got something back, but that's what would have happened.

    I don't see why a guy like Boak wouldn't come to MFC? It's not like his leaving a premiership contender, and he'd be coming home and getting tons of $$$...

    We got Clark didn't we? And he wasn't even thinking about coming to Melbourne...

    But Clark was incredibly keen to leave the Lions - Boak hasn't even made the leap to leave PA yet...

    We can get in the fight when he has made the mental leap to leave PA.

    surprised Neeld and co hasn't done what Geelong did and paid Boak a visit.

    Maybe the media is hyping up MFC's interest alott more then what it actually is.

    I am more surprised that Geelong did what they did.

    I am not that comfortable with it.

    Teams meeting with opposition players in season with players in tow.

    Bad taste.

    I'm glad they didn't do that, massively unprofessional, how did you feel about Scully signing with GWS while still with us?

    Well Neeld didn't hesitate to head up to brisbane with short notice and stay in a cheap hotel to convince the guy but they havn't bothered taking a trip to Adelaide to do the same (Yes i know we are still in season though if they were desperate enough they would've done it to stop him from signing anything)

    Geelong are in big trouble and I have no idea why they are talking to him, they don't have anything to offer Port. I cannot think of any potential trade scenario, except maybe Stringer + 2nd round pick for Boak

    I reckon in this case where there's smoke there's fire... He can't do or say anything during the season other than what he's expected to.

    I can smell a Darwin Victory & a 15th Finish @ the season End.

    Port finishing 16th & a shot @ Grundy/Toumpas.

    Do you think theyll tank? we are tired and injured. They still also have a game against GWS and are 2 games ahead of us on the ladder

    The 'within season' thing is a huge caveat for me.

    In my mind, players should be loyal to their clubs for 11 months of the year and loyal to themselves in October.

    Geelong shouldn't have done it, and Boak shouldn't have agreed.

    My guess is Tom Petroro laid it down crystal clear to other suitors: He's going "home" or he stays put.

    Port plays hard ball: You can't have your cake and eat it too, sport.

    Boak's going to come out of this worse off than anyone else, I suspect.

    • 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.
