Hamish Hartlett

[Binmans PA 26,495]

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 we dont get this bloke Im gonna go mental. He is ours for the taking.

Christ..

And what happens if he doesn't want to come to us?

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.

[SaberFang 7,141]

We were right into Lynch too. Doesn't always work out.

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,987]

Does he play more back flank than mid??

JETTA DUNN FROST

HARTLETT TMAC SALEM

Would be nice....

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

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?

LOL

[DubDee 21,274]

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.

[ChaserJ 4,008]

Can play both, usually dependant on team needs. Him playing more hbf for us could release Salem to play more midfield minutes.

[Canplay 573]

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.

Hartlett to Demons

Pick 24 GCFC to Demons

Pick 6 MFC to Suns

Personally, I would chase Howe over Dixon if I was another club

Not bad. Probably the best trade suggestion I've seen for a while.

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.

[mo64 5,260]

So DIxon for Howe and pick 6 and they lose pick 24?

You're kidding right?

I'd trade pick 6 for Dixon in a heartbeat, and pick 24 for Howe is about right.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Howe & second rounder to Gold Coast, Dixon to Port, Harlett to us. That's a huge win for all teams I reckon.

Think he forgot to mention Prestia in that deal
