General Trade Discussion 2022

JHF is a jet, once he grows up he will be a cream of the competition player.

They've also grabbed a very good small forward in Junior Rioli for basically pick 8 and next years first pick.

We may well be talking about this deal being the reason they win the flag next season.
No doubt they have pulled off a big trade. But let’s not get carried away with Port winning the flag next year.

Butters Dursma Marshall Georgiades Wines & Cornes.
Wines is 28.

That group on its own, without all the players I mentioned, and without picks in 2023 definitely, 100%, is NOT winning a premiership in a few years time.

They have to get it done right now, in 2023 or it’s years and years away if it isn’t already.

A bit of a premature thought there! The two players in question are young and still learning the game. Port still have problems within their playing group

Yeah probably, but I see something brewing for Port.

Recent history has shown teams often have a down year and then bounce back after a run and I like the way their list is shaping up.

Junior Rioli will be huge for their forward structure and with JHF and Rozee emerging as a gun midfielder they are starting to get a good crew in there and some nice balance.

With one or two others of their mid ages about to kick on and a solid spine I think they will give it a real shake next year.

I hope you are right. Can’t stand Port and can’t stand Cornes. Let’s hope HF becomes another Buckley story.

Solid spine?
I hope you are not include Dixon as part of that spine?

He’s a great player HF. No doubt about it. And Port have done well to get him. But him, on his own, won’t be the difference between finishing 11th and 1st at Port. A couple of other players on the move this year and re bound improvement across the group might be, but HF on his own won’t.
 
Lol at people thinking Port will win a flag because they picked up a first round kid who most likely will become a very good player but he wont be no Dusty next year and a 28 year old with questionable off field issues.

They just lost one of their best in Gray and their better players are at the wrong side of the age profile.

We have just picked up our own first round kid who is just about to enter his prime and will most likely have another one in Hopper.

I dont care who Port grab as they have a spud as a coach. They will never win a flag with Hinkley as he is a fake.
 
So GWS have just traded out all their picks that might have worked for us. I hope Balmey tells them its F1 and Soldo or they can keep Hopper and try and hide their Salary Cap breach! Then sit back with his Monte Carlos and watch them sweat bullets until they are forced to concede 10mins before the deadline.

If they are truely after O'Meara, then he isn't coming without Hopper leaving. Another reason to hold their feet to the fire. McCartney pun not intended.

JHF is a bust for sure. No way a player with that shameful attitude is going to make it. The other players will likely tell him to FO 6mths into his 6 year contract.
