2/2 we needed more talent between 23-27, we ticked that box. Now I’m assuming we will attempt to get back into next years draft using our 2025 rd1 pick (more Burgoyne’s coming through F/S also)
Well done Crippa, CD & Parks!
1/2 Another cracking trade period by @PAFC
Out goes: Duursma, Future 1st, P41, P49
In comes: Ratugolea, Soldo, BZT, Sweet, P73, Future 4th x 2
Another quiet draft, but let’s not forget how well Port drafted from 2018 - 2020. Our u23 talent pool is elite.
@Ben_Cotton15@FOXFOOTY Love this from @PAFC. Creates strong competition for spots. Any of those three would be thinking they can be no. 1 ruck at the club for the next 5+ years
Richmond premiership winner Ivan Soldo will be traded to Port Adelaide today. A future second-rounder and pick 41 will head to Richmond as well as a swap of other selections. The deal is agreed. @AFLcomau@traderadio
@Sammy__Edmund Hey Sam, at what point does an AFL mediation come into play? This is getting ridiculous - pick 32 was a more than fair offer for him last year, they held him to his contract. Fair play. This year, out of contract and still not best 22 and we’ve offered MORE. Come off it!
Duurs + Future 4th to ESS
BZT + 30 to Port
Pick 24 to GEEL
Esava to Port
Pick 48 to WB
Sweet to Port
Left with picks 30, 40 & 48 (1360 pts)
Offer to GC for picks 18 & 61 (1120 pts)
We get a 1st rd pick, they get points. Thoughts?? @tommorris32
@DT_Zutchie His replacement is already in the 22, Bergman. With BZT & Sav coming in, he won’t be playing key back anymore. Bergman has better disposal, reads the play, can also rotate on ball with his bigger body. We also have Hugh Jackson & Jase Burgoyne sitting in the two’s developing well
I’m OK with losing Duurs. He has value. His form was not great the last two years. We are stacked for HB flankers who can play on a wing - Bergman, Farrell, Houston, Burgoyne could all play on a wing. Jackson plays wing and will get AFL games next yr. Sinn will play if not inj.
1/2 Duursma & pick 38 to Essendon for BZT & pick 28
Pick 28 & Future 3rd to Geelong for Esava
Pick 44 to WB for Sweet
Therefore keeping our future 1st rounder & back into the draft next year after two years of trading all our picks!
Thoughts @PAFC fans?
@The_G_Funk_Era@RoweyandTimmyG Yep just like no one picked us the make the 8 this year (only internal expectations). My point is that Tredrea is massively over reacting and bagging his club, losing respect of the supporter base (with the exception of the Hinkley haters) in the process.
@anthonyalesiani I’m actually relieved. I think with Grundy pulling out, we won’t need to spend big $$ on a ruckman when we have Rozee, Butters & co needing huge contracts over next 1-2 years. Sounds like we’ll bring in Jordon Sweet who is ready to go & cheap! Plus I rate Visentini. We’ll be ok!
