Port Adelaide 2016

[Booney]

How's he had a crack at Port crowds this time?

Should still support his own club....no time, busy trolling Port crowds. Sad.

[MW]

Rucci suggesting today that Port and more into Neale than Crows.

Rucci suggesting today that Port and more into Neale than Crows.

Pretty misleading headline, the article mentions Neale possibly wanting to go to Victoria. So if that's the case why bother chasing him.

So not really sure how port gets included in that article other than for clickbait reasons

I think it was more a chance to mention "out of contract" Brad Crouch to be honest. Watch for this to be dropped in every article until that contract is signed

[bennymacca]

There is no way he goes imo. Would be a massive risk for other clubs. And his brother is here.

He would just wait to sign because his contract would be shite now compared to maybe playing half a season of good footy

Yeah, great journalism again by Rucci
The Club and Brad would be silly to entertain a deal at this minute, too risky for both parties.

Rumours in Melbourne suggest Neale wants to go to a Melbourne Club. No doubt Carlton, Richmond, St Kilda throwing massive offers at him.
If he wanted to return to SA then the Crows would be in the box seat with our draft pick selection and salary cap room.
Port no doubt interested but resigned to the fact they would not be able to satisfy Freo's demands or Neale's salary.

You guys talk about this in the umpire whinge thread, please?

[bennymacca]

Yeah that's the other good point. Would be a first rounder I would think. Which port don't have (?)

And we would have a fair chunk of room in the cap.

100% the crows would throw a huge offer in front of him. Whether he decides to go to Melbourne is a different matter

He's an important puzzle piece.

Port will only pay 50% of Ryder and Monfries this year, which means we can pay over the cap next year, yes? I believe you can pay overs the following year if you paid under the TPP in any given year.

Be some money left over from Schulz ( whom I suspect won't go on ) and whatever we're wasting on Butcher.

Having said that, we'll be after youth in the next couple of drafts to sure up whats coming behind this current group and won't,I suspect, trade away 1st rounders in the next year or two. ( We still owe Gold Coast a 2nd rounder for Dixon )

[MW]

They'll tear the place down if they trade the first rounder again

Not "they", I'll do it.

Most supporters are all for trading another first rounder

If they do, Boon- i'll join you.

The place is safe!
Clubs must make at least two first-round selections in each four-year period. If they don't, they will face restrictions from trading any further first-round draft picks.

[Grahaml]

Facing restrictions isn't the same thing as will be restricted. AFL just doesn't want to see clubs trading away first rounders for a few years in a row to stay up the top and then fall in an epic hole after. It's hard enough when Melbourne and Carlton do is WITH good picks, let alone without them.

Bingo, based on how some clubs have gone the AFL sees a need to protect them from there own stupidity.

Fixed.

[GWW]

Assuming we finish 9-13, and get a top 10 pick (after taking into account the Academy picks), I think we'll try and target someone like Jonty Scharenberg, who would appear to be compatible with what we need.

What another inside mid????

[valleys07]

Have paid nil attention to the next crop of youngsters, GWW, not to mention I have not seen a ball kicked in anger in the SANFL this season.

Jonty is a bays player, yeah?

Position, attributes?
