This seems like a good result for Port, who have an over-inflated idea of what Shaun Burgoyne is really worth. There was no way that Hawthorn were ever going to trade Lewis, Birchall or Schoenmakers.
It sounds like Hawthorn fans feel their club also have an over-inflated idea of what Burgoyne is worth by offering Campbell. Some are livid!
I reckon that's an outstanding deal for Port if it happens.
This is what happens when there's competition because it sounds like Essendon were upping the ante on Hawthorn.
You would also imagine the Hawks must have been feeling the Salary Cap pinch ... With having to fit the likes of Hodge, Franklin, Roughhead, Mitchell etc plus now Gibson and Burgoyne, they must surely have had to part with someone on reasonable coin.
You'd think they would have preferred to keep Brown, but you have to give to receive ... If this deal does indeed go ahead, I agree, very good result for Port.
