Good pick up, he isn't worth anything in terms of trade, Brisbane had 7 plus injuries all year this year and he could only manage 6 games, 3 as sub. We need these players as depth with the possibility of breaking into the side permanently, but don't think he is walking straight into the team.

As soon as there is a quite day in the trade period they will go back to this story. Melb have said no, and Geel even came out and said we will respect Melbourne's position.

Yeh, i changed my post as I realised as soon as I wrote it. But more so we won't get anything for him as he is to old and the contract he gets won't warrant anything

We ain't getting anything back for tommo, out of contract, so can walk. And over 30 will be max 2 year contract on bugger all. Won't be any compo

Whilst it sucks for us Kane is 100% correct. Should happen more in footy to the bigger names.

Would like us to give up 5 and F1st to NM for 2 and a F2nd. Really want that Langford!!

He just talked about how Pert is making footy department decisions and maybe shouldn't be

I'd love JB at the club. He was pretty strong on "footy furnace" on Pert tonight. I'd be surprised if he wanted to work at the same club as Pert.

I said it last year before we did the deal. Hindsight wasn't needed. The evidence was there.

Possible yeh, also remember it's more likely to be in the 30s after bids ect

Don't mind it, we also need 1 or 2 players of his ilk that might not quite be in the team but if we have an injury can fill the hole. We can't just get kids and superstars like most people think.

Someone at another club would be good. He is lazy and doesn't put in the effort. I was on this when we were first linked to him, has been the word out of the crows for a while. Can't believe we gave up anything for him let alone a second rounder, 53 games(no major injuries either, mainly soft tissue) in 5 years with his talent, says it all. Here's to hoping something clicks, but I'm not holding my breath!

I actually meant Farris-White. So add smith on as well

Hunter, Brayshaw, BBB, Schache, Turner, ANB and I dare say Tomlinson all gone. We are going to need to cover 7 spots, which is alot. 3 Draft kids, 2 Trade (Derksen, and hopefully Peatling), 1 rookie maybe 2, but possibly leaving 1 spot for a SSP

Ahh you are correct he went to the legs after his time at the dees

That's what trading is for

Alex Georgiou and Michael Evans also came from the Basset system haha

Was always worried about McBean before the game, he proved to be the difference!

Oh it's a win win for Port. Get the $$ off the books and have a Ruck doing as good if not better and a young ok looking ruck

X2

For those that don't know much about Bassett before he started coaching at AFL level. After a very solid AFL career as a full back/Back Pocket he took over the head coaching position at Norwood in the SANFL. Norwood had been on the bottom of the ladder for the previous 5-6 years and he took them to a threepeat, not to mention after each year he lost min 4 of his best players to the AFL. (Imagine losing Viney, Langdon, Kossie and Jackson after 2021) Not only did he turn the Norwood football club around, he turned a bunch of guys into AFL standard footballers. A lot of them were mature ago too not just kids with talent.

I hope Saints do it, they will become more irrelevant taking a top 5 ruck out of his best position. Conway I think is 2 pre seasons away, he will be good but doesn't have the tank. SDK is laughable as a ruck. He shoukd be sticking it out at Port and making the position his. It's pretty [censored] weak. No probs going to Adel when the contract was offered to him. Cry baby vibes to me.

Sorry I read that Geel were interested, Saints is a silly move for him

He is going to a club who hasn't had a number 1 ruck in 10 years. It's a perfect landing spot for him. Also had a crack at Rich after leaving there, now only had one year at Port and sooked it up again. Reeks of the wrong attitude

Soldo is leaving his second team because he can't get the #1 ruck spot. He ain't coming to play second fiddle to Max
