Shaun Burgoyne wants to quit Port

[CK]

Shaun Burgoyne announced tonight that he wishes to be traded to a Melbourne based club. He is yet to identify his preferred destination, but management met with Port today, where his request was tabled. Port have stated he will only be traded if a deal suitable to Port can be made.

[hearts on fire]

i don't blame him.

[dedja]

Faaaaarrrrrrkkkk ... the wheels are certainly falling off aren't they?

[Pinepower]

You could see this happening and I think it will happen more as so many coaches have now been at Port and will be trying to get the players they need

Port have stated he will only be traded if a deal suitable to Port can be made.

Is he contracted ? If not Port will take whatever they cn get otherwise he'll go in the pre-season and end up at Melbourne / Roos / Richmond.....

News just in. S. Burgoyne has requested to be traded to an undisclosed club.

[catchit]

wasnt the rumour going around that if choco goes burgoyne goes??
maybe it was if choco stays...

[the joker]

hahaha PORT, how good will you be next year

[ORDoubleBlues]

Certainly surprising for mine given that it appeared he had a very close relationship with Williams.
Has his brother's decision to retire made this an easier choice for him?

The obvious connections IMHO will be Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn and Essendon in that order.

Not sure what to say. He is one of our best players when on song, if not our best and we will miss him as made evident by our disfunctional mid field during 09.

However, if he doesn't have his heart in helping a club that gave him a start and a Premiership Medallion get up off the canvas then I dont want him!

Not sure if I am more angry or dissapointed.Angry at this stage.

See ya Shaun

Good for Port.

Lose the most overrated player in the game and probably get a pick in the 10-15 range.

I'd be surprised to see a club offer a first round pick for a guy of his age and with his injury issues.

I dare say Ports contract offer wasnt what he hoped for and considering his injury issues its probably fair enough, who is his manager? No doubt told him he can earn the coin he wants elsewhere...

[GWW]

His manager is i think Ben(?) Williams, ex Big Brother contestant, who i think is married to Jade Robran, ex ch 10 sports journo.

I don't know too much inside info, but it may appears that there is more than just money involved.

spot on, also wasn't said earlier in the year if my brother goes (for any reason) i'll go as well....or was that hearsay on the forum can't quite remember
