InVINCEable 358 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 LOL Ok Barry Prendergast Alright, alright I get it, bad call.
InVINCEable 358 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Kane Mitchell for 2nd rounder + player? Have you seen him play? I suppose he could replace Riley and McKenzie as a permanent Casey player. I was saying more like Hartlett for pick 6, 2nd rounder and player (Someone average like Terlich), and Mitchell just as steak knives.
Glenn Molloy 494 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Good smother on Milkshake in that highlights package...it's a sign! .

rjay 25,424 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Good smother on Milkshake in that highlights package...it's a sign! . What a great look away...sucked him into the kick then pulled off the smother. Cornes always rated Hartlett as a future Brownlow winner...injuries have held him back a bit but he would be a good get.
InVINCEable 358 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Well Hartlett would cost us pick 6, so the rest of the deal stands alone. Honestly think he'd cost more than pick 6 in a weak draft.
Little Richard 6,265 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Get it done, if the rumours are true. I wouldn't be totally disappointed to give up pick 6 for Hartlett, but I'd hope we could push them for Hartlett and ND10 for ND6 and something else.
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Good smother on Milkshake in that highlights package...it's a sign! . It was brilliant, watch lull him into a false sense of security then at the last second bam, smother. Jake [censored] Milkman..
beelzebub 23,392 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Good smother on Milkshake in that highlights package...it's a sign! . thought so to.....in big lights it wrote...here's one guy you should get...and one you shouldnt !!
Gator 18,053 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 There's not a person in footy that doesn't think Hartlett's not an elite talent, but in reality he's been a tad disappointing due to injury and inconsistency. The club would love him for pick 6, but I'd be amazed if Port let him go. I'm surprised so many of you needed a highlights package to realise his talent.
Mach5 4,768 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Oh my, well that was fun to watch. The goal at 2.08 where he is on the angle, inside the square and his teammates are pointing to the goals made me laugh. What was that, a 70m kick? They've probably seen him do it effortlessly at training that many times...
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I said Vince's career at Adelaide was inferior to Hartlett's career to date. Vince's highly impressive 2 years with us would elevate him on a par with Hartlett. And can someone explain why they seem to think that we can land Prestia? But the parts you highlighted were from Vince's career at Adelaisde. He won their B&F and was AA while playing at Adelaide. Hamish is good, but he's never done either of those things at Port. The only thing he has over Vince is he's a little younger.

Yes, but salary caps are finite, he'd be on very decent coin, and they have clearly indicated a strong interest in Dixon who won't come cheap. If he has been identified as a key culprit who is not performing to expectations, and eating up a large portion of the cap in the meantime, I imagine they'd be keen to capitalise while his value remains high.

Maybe because they don't watch 30h of footy every weekend.........

beelzebub 23,392 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Just as a thought.. Readings elsewhere suggest our pick 6 might not be absolutely necessary. Its possible a slightly later pick..10/11 might also do this trade , if indeed theres one to be had. If thats the case Id be looking to find a swap/trade that went something like.. Howe or Watts...plus pick 6.... for some very decent mid and a pick around 10. This pick goes to Port for Hartlett am i just dreaming...or some merit ?
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 How about we just switch first and second round pick with them?

Out of interest, what other readings are you referring to? Is this a rumour that's been repeated by actual AFL 'insiders'? I've been trawling the internet looking for some corroboration and have so far got nada. Big fan of this deal if it can get done. I rate Hartlett!
Young Blood 2,642 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 why on earth would Port get rid of a key midfielder for any of the suggested trades? They will be pushing very hard for top four next year. Having Watts and/or Howe or a pick isnt going to take them to that top echelon of teams next year. With that in mind surely Hamish himself wouldn't leave a club like that to come to Melbourne. i'm not trying to be negative. But he is 25 yrs old. If he is not injured next season he will be in his prime playing for a Premiership. Baffles me. I'm not trying to say I wouldn't love him at Melbourne. But not sure about the why...

Salary cap issues and wanting Dixon are the answers to your first question. But who the hell knows, anything is possible.

Salary cap pressures - the only mildly logical reason.

Is this a rumour that's been repeated by actual AFL 'insiders'? I've been trawling the internet looking for some corroboration and have so far got nada. Big fan of this deal if it can get done. I rate Hartlett! just the composite really of reading between lines and snippets of goss...nothing more..tbh Hartlett would be inside their top 10 easily i reckon.. BUT they have to make room. I made the suggestion somewhere ( cant remember..lol ) that I doubt he would cross the road to the Crows...its just not the Adelaide things...very parochial both those lots. So hed have to come interstate. Then comes down to who would be in position to trade for him...and afford him. We're a little more along a rebuild than some other dwellers so we wont be desperate to hang onto that high pick. It is serious currency. So is pick 10/11/12 etc but them who knows really after that ..its a draft...bit of a raflfe best of times..We WANT/NEED ready to go mids of a good ability Ive seen some ramblings emanating from SA that seem to suggest 6 is overs...again, in context that a mid 1st round pick might suffice. I'm just brainstorming really

Not Howe/watts to them...to some other team but we utilise our 6 to add potency to get a good mid off "other " team...then turn around and use mid 1srt rounder received via the H/W's trade to Port for Hartlett
