Hamish Hartlett


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
