Over the weekend on 3AW.

Yes. That's what I thought. I heard her about 6.30 Saturday night. Three hours AFTER I tweeted Hartlett was talking to Melbourne.

I wouldn't go to North, as has already been said, how much longer do they have to go? That 'window' is closing quick.

Will Richmond ever get there?

Our boys need to sell the Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca, Hogan story... its not nothing, there is something in that which must start to seem very appealing to any aspirant!

no its not, its a game of bluff atmo IMO.

#scenario 1/

Melbourne trade Howe to GCS; for P-10ish

Melbourne trade P-10ish + +?????, to Port; for Hartlett

Port trade P-10ish, to GCS for tall forward/ruck ?

Melbourne keep P-6

...............................

then possibly use P-6 in the draft, OR as part of trade bait for a Prestia ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#scenario 2/

Melbourne trade P-6 + ???, to Port; for Hartlett

Port trade P-10/11ish to GCS for tall forward/ruck ?

Melbourne trade Howe to ????? for ?????

........................

Melbourne have no 1st Rnd picks ?

-----------------------------------------------------

this I think maybe the holdup?

We're still in a great position to land him. More cap space and better draft pick.

And via that better draft pick, we've got the means to help them get Dixon to Port, as discussed earlier. That's why it's such a good three-way.

Brett Anderson on SEN reporting that North and Richmond both have huge interest in Hartlett

Well, color me fookin surprised

Suddenly Richmond and North Melbourne have entered the picture - Trade SENtral: Hartlett, Astbury & Carlisle

Would have been extremely unlikely that Melbourne were the only suitor.

North Melbourne and Richmond are offering Port Adelaide's Hamish Hartlett $750k a season over 5 years according to Tony Sheahan.

Offer him $800-850k over 5 then.

North?

How can they afford to pay their "home grown" players when shelling out for Dal Santo, Waite and then Higgins?

Seems like both Scott brothers would prefer to pillage than to develop in house.

Offer him $800-850k over 5 then....yeah ...why not

Seems like both Scott brothers wpuld prefer to pillage than to develop in house. is the modern way ...have you not heard lol

I wonder if he's even seen him play.....

I have. The kid is going to be awesome.

Are there still salary caps in place at some of these clubs? Certainly the cap does not seem to be working as an equaliser anymore.

I'm sure we have plenty of cap room for Hartlett at the moment however with the club's impending signing of Dangerfield, will we have enough?

Now reported that the demons are an unlikely destination for Hartlett.

Please refer to my above post. Perhaps I wasn't joking.....?

A gun player in his prime unlikely to come to us? Colour me surprised.

Yeah it is a nice thought but coming from such a competitive, possibly top 4 side I think if he was to be moved on he would look at another finals bound team.

I hope there is a lot of focus on trying to bring Redden to the club. He has the skill set we require.

Please refer to my above post. Perhaps I wasn't joking.....?

for us slow people more info is needed

was that meant as a joke or not ......

Is that the same link that says he's considering a revised offer from the club. The offer being largely back ended.

Only time will tell mark....only time will tell..

I don't want to be one of 'those' guys, but... source? I don't need a link, just interested to know where you got it from!

Fox Sports. Apparently he's set to re-sign at Port.

Surely that will force Wines out with their supposed salary cap problems!

He's already contracted for 2016.

A lot of dreaming on this forum.

Reality bites.

Dream on!

I must have misheard, apologies. Just staying at Port then. He's a free agent end of next season.
