Someone on Bomberblitz mentioned that we were into him.

Said it was a part of the Dixon trade. I posted it in the Delistings/Trade thread but didnt really think much of it.

However, Moneider96 mentioned that Todd Viney had said on a radio segment that Port should look to trade Hartlett.

It could well mean Howe to GCS, Dixon to Port and Hartlett to Melbourne. Just have to convince Howe and Hartlett.

Offer pick 6 for Prestia and see if they bite and chase him when he's a FA next year smart thinking

That's what I'd wanna save pick 6 for. Dion Prestia. So if we could land Hartlett essentially for Howe that would be a huge win.

If only it was as easy to trade past draft picks.

You reckon? I'd sign the deal before Port came to their senses. I'll never understand why people would prefer draft picks over proven players. It's like choosing between $100,000 in cash or a Tattslot

How old are you?

Apart from a few rumours in the media we don't even really know that he is available.

But feel free to go sick bro.

Old enough to know that Caro has the best sources in the business. If she says the Dees are right into him, then we are. Shes about the only footy journo worth listening to.

I like the idea of a three-way swap involving GC and Howe. That could be workable.

If Port wanted our pick 6 I'd want their pick 10 back. He was a high draft pick, but he's never quite managed to get his game to the level you'd want from a fourth pick (sound familiar?).

IS he a better player than Vince? No. Why would we pay more for him then?

He has played 22 games each of last 3 seasons so injuries are hopefully behind him.

He would be great in our midfield or maybe off half back. Strong, skilful, good decision maker and finals experienced.

Easily worth a first round pick.

Good to hear we are into some good players! But people have to realise we have to give up something good to get something good. No way a second round pick will do it for Hamish.

Don't have a lot of time for Caro - but rarely gets it wrong as her info comes straight from AFL house usually.

I think for Port to land Dixon (having just re-signed Schultz) they are going to have to lose someone good and their midfield runs deep. Hartlett would be the logical one to sacrifice given poor hamstring history and not meant to be the best of blokes. Still think he'd be a good get for Dees as long as trade is fair.

Get the feeling the Dees don't "love" anyone with their first pick - unlike last year when we locked in on Brayshaw and others early. Don't think Parish and other top mids are Roos type.

His ceiling is higher and he's 3 years younger than Vince when we drafted him.

Just hit his prime.

No time to be conservative.

I seriously doubt that you've seen Hartlett play.

Hartlett's career to date at Port has far exceeded Vince's tenure at Adelaide.

If we can land him in trade week, the acquisition of Melksham would be more palatable.

I am interested to know more about the "not meant to be the best of blokes" comment. Not doubting at all, just wondering what you have heard?

Yep.

As for the injury history that others have raised, he's played 66 of a possible 71 games in the last three seasons including 22 of 22 this year. Not a factor.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
